DISCOVERY 



Autumn is a time ot revelations. If, in 

 the early spring, the tree is garbed overnight 

 in a mantle of soft green, may not the au- 

 tumn gale which strips that same tree of 

 its dress, grown bronzed and copper colored, 

 bring a new revelation ? The foliage is onlv 

 a seasonal gown ; it adorns the tree, but it 

 is not the tree. The autumn frosts and 

 winds do their work in discovering for us 

 the delicate tracery of hough, branch and 

 tiny twig. Let there be many trees, as in 

 a woo<l. and we have a marvelous lattice 

 work through which wonderful things may 

 be seen. 



All summer the abundant foliage and 

 thick underbrush, encouraged the belief in 

 a forest without bounds; but one morning 

 after a night of torrential rains followed Iiy 

 strong winds, we looked out upon our woofl. 

 and lo ! through skeletons of denuded trees 



The greenhottsc t^ortion is IS feci ZL'Ule ami ii feet long. 



The Most Greenhouse 

 for the Least Money 



"DY saying the least money, we mean 

 -'-' the least consistent with undimin- 

 ished efficiency and assured attractive- 

 ness. Just for identification sake, we call 

 it the Number Two House. 



In this Number Two Grcenh(Hise with 

 its straight eave, we have simplified all 

 parts of it so that the completed building, 

 including the foundation, will cost vou 

 from 20% to 25% less than our curved 

 eave one. If that sounds interesting, you 

 may incline to send for a new booklet 

 just published, called "The Most Green- 

 house for the Least Monev."
