It Is one of those layouts of parallel house whioh have so nineh to he aaiil in their favor. The length over all 



is 133 feet. Each house is 2o feet wide. 



Schwab's Vegetable Range 



The name Schwab means big 

 things done in a big way. A big 

 way means not necessarily big 

 in size, but big in that every- 

 thing down to the smallest de- 

 tail was considered. 



First we built him a complete 

 range exclusively for flowers. 

 Then followed this vegetable 

 range, where Mr. Ireland is 

 doing such wizard work with 

 his growing. Being practical 

 purpose houses, the rafters are 

 spaced 12 ft. 1% in. apart just 

 as in our commercial houses. 

 The houses fronting on the gar- 

 den are semi-curvilinear The 

 two behind it have our standard 

 angle ease treatment. 



View looking down the fruit house arches. 

 You can just see our friend Ireland way at 

 the other end. 



You may recall that we built 

 two practical purpose houses 

 constructed the same way for 

 the late Hetty Green's daughter, 

 Mrs. M. A. Wilks at Greenwich, 

 Conn. And later, two big houses 

 for her brother. Col. Green, 

 whose estate is near New Bed- 

 ford, R. I. 



If men like Schwab and Col. 

 Green believe there is much in 

 favor of the practical purpose 

 house, seems like it's worth your 

 while to look into it. It may 

 mean more houses for the same 

 money. Or better growing con- 

 ditions. Both interests you. You 

 know we go anywhere for busi- 

 ness. Or to talk business. 



Glimpse of the gables, showing both kinds of eave 

 construction. 



Among other things Ireland does surprlssing well, 

 is always to have Beans "in crop."
