Virginia, until the 

 election of President 

 Taft, held the record 

 of furnishing six out 

 of the twenty-seven 

 presidents. But now, 

 Ohio, with an equal

 Virginia's claim as, 

 " The Mother of 

 Presidents."

GREENHOUSES 



NOT those heavy, short lived wooden ones — no, not that kind, but fine light, en- 

 during Iron Frame Houses that will grow the very best plants possible. Houses 

 you won't have to spend a cent on for repairs, aside from painting, for years to 

 come. Houses built right, ventilated right, and heated right — houses backed by over 

 a quarter of a century of experience. 



If you want your house tohave curved eaves, we will gladly build it that way — in 

 fact, rather prefer to. Send for our catalog. It is a conclusive bit of evidence.
