ome Interesting Facts 

 On Owning 

 Your Own Greenhouse 



Every mail brought us such a number of requests concerning m 



the countless things about owning your own greenhouse, M 



that we finally prepared a booklet on just that subject. Fur- J 



thermore it is called, "Owning ^ our Own Greenhouse." B 



In it are a goodly number of the less large houses. Many B 



of them are considerably smaller than this one even. Ones m 



that will come well within the means of many who never 1 



suspected it. g 



What is four or five thousand to spend for something that B 



will give you endless satisfaction and untold pleasurements 1 



all vour life! 1 



Don't lose sight of the fact that although the flowers are = 



abloom outside now, frost frowns are only a few short B 



months away. B 



So it's none to soon to start buildmg your greenhouse if B 



you want to have a perpetual summer land of flowers next B 



winter. J 



Send for the booket, "Owning Your Own Greenhouse." 1
