Three Interesting Chapters in % 

 Our Greenhouse Construction 



IT n.is aliiii;; in IvNs. in tlip Jay (Jmilil rnnt'<>. tlint we orlg- 

 inutiMl tile cunHtructiuii ttuit used the tirnt caBt iron gut- 

 tiTs for (rrfenliouses. It was considered a biff stride. It 

 ;;avo added ri^ridity to the frame and entirely overcame a 

 SiTioiis repair expense. 



lu those days only the plain half round gutter could he 

 east. But it wasn't long before we developed a method of 

 casting, so we could vary the gutter, giving It an archi- 

 tectural moulding effect, which has been generally fidlowed 

 in greenhouse t>niiiling ever since. 



So niucli for Oliapler Number One. 



Next came the curved eave with the gutter placed at the 



sill. Here, indeed, was a radical departure. It greatly In- 

 creased their attractiveness and put greenhouses In an en- 

 tirely different class. 



And now conies Chapter Three— tlie inudllied curved eave. 

 which many of the gardeners emlorsc heartily. The gutter 

 is back at the eave again and the continuous side ventila- 

 tion sash restored. The curve above tlie gutter Is enlarged 

 giving Increased height, for the side benches. 

 It is really a cross between a curved eave an<l a curvilinear 

 house, with the conildned advantages of t>oth. We called 

 it the Modllieil Curved Eave. It's the house we recommend 

 your building. When you are ready to talk It over, say 

 when and where, and we'll be there.
