The Most Greenhouse 

 For The Least Money 



That is Practical 



B}' the least money, we mean, 

 the least that is consistent with 

 lastingness and the making of a 

 happy, healthy home for your 

 ]>lants. 



It is a house we have been 

 jjuilding for years. 



A clean cut, thoroughly practi- 

 cal greenhouse, in which the 

 ornamental touches and extra 

 refinements, so to speak, have 

 been eliminated. 



Still, it is decidedly good look- 

 ing, and will grow just as many 



and just as fine quality of 

 flowers as any house that costs 

 more. 



The times have made so man}- 

 folks want to strip things for 

 the running, as it were, that they 

 quickly buy this Practical Pur- 

 pose house, when they would 

 not our regular one with its 

 curved eaves and other features. 



Thinking you might feel some- 

 thing the same way, here it is. 

 Glad to send you fullest of par- 

 ticulars, or one of us will come 

 and talk it over with vou.
