A Range of Greenhouses on Top of a New Yorfc 

 Store 200 Feet Above tde Street 



FAR above the hurly burly of noisy, bustling New Yorlf. 

 Mr. C. C. Trepel bas tbis range of houses on top of 

 Blooiuingdale Bros, store at Fifty-ninth Street. 

 i;igbteen years ago we built the first houses and have con- 

 riuuecl adding to them. Two, we just completed, 26 feet 

 wide ivtid .52 feet long. 



We consider this a pretty good recommendation for our 

 construction — eighteen years of hard usage. There is prol»-. 

 alily not another greenhouse in the world that bas had the 

 number of people visit it. This means wear and tear on 

 the structure. 



Today, outside of minor repairs the original houses are as 

 good as the day they were built. 



Here the flowers are grown that are sold in the flower shop 

 on the ground floor. This flower garden on the roof gives 

 people a chance to see how flowers and plants are grown. 

 It also gives a prospective purchaser of a greenhouse a 

 chance to see a greenhouse built in its entirety. It shows 

 you the superstructure, plant benches, and heating appar- 

 atus. It also shows you the plants growing, as well as bow 

 the plants are taken care of. 



Besides running this shop and range of bouses, Mr. Trepel 

 also runs the flower store at Abraham & Strauss in Brook- 

 lyn : Gimbel Bros., .Sord St., and 6th Ave., New York, an<l 

 has recently opened a new one at S9tb St. and Broadway. 

 We tell you all this .lust to show you the variety of green- 

 bouse building problems we are continually solving suc- 

 cessfully. 



Incidentally, we hope that when you are ready to build, 

 you will think of us as the builders. When you are ready 

 to talk it over, — say when and where and we'll be there.
