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 Greenhouse with 

 its straight eave, we have simplified all 

 parts of it so that the completed building, 

 including the foundation, will cost you 

 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 Money."
