 One Of Our Greenhouses 



And Have Flowers By The 

 Basketful, Any Time, Any Day 



Send for our Two G's Booklet. It tells about our Gardens 

 Under Glass, and gives a peep into their delights. 



It tells you briefly and clearly just what you want to 

 know about greenhousee. 



It starts with the simplest kind of Idttle house ajid shows 

 various kinds and sizes up to the one below 



We will enclose with it a little folder printed in coloirs 

 showing the way a ffreenilouse and garage can be economic- 

 ally and attractively linked up. 



Then when you are ready to talk the matter over, we 

 will, if you wish, gladly come and see you. 



We have been building greenhouses for half a century.

Concerning Locating and Planning Your 



Greenhouse 



Speaking of location, it is a mistake to think that 

 the greenhouse should be placed in some isolated cor- 

 ner where it will be out of sight. If properly planned 

 and designed, it can well occupy a prominent location 

 and txjcome one of the most interesting features of the 

 grounds. 



If possible, your location should be one that wi'l 

 make the care of the houses a convenience — an ar- 

 rangement that will secure the amount of light re- 

 quired for each compartment, and economy both of 

 fuel and lalx)r in operation. 



Al.so of great importance is the right placing of the 

 cellar for the boiler, to secure perfect heating condi- 

 tions. Last, and by no means least, you want the 



best possible setting, architecturally. All of this, of 

 course, applies to the small house as to the larger 

 groups. 



If you have more extensive ideas for a greenhouse 

 than you feel your pocketbook will immediately permit 

 you to build, then have the greenhouse builders plan 

 the scheme as you want it to be when fully completed 

 — then erect such houses as it is important to have at 

 once, and from time to time, add others until the plan 

 is carried out. 



In doing this the importance of preserving an at- 

 tractive architectural balance can always be foremost 

 in mind.
