You Decide on a Greenhouse 29 



pulls the beauty that is in all the common earth 

 at our feet right up into leaf and flower, color 

 and perfume. Weird, maybe, but what a lot of 

 that brand of weirdness the world could stand ! 



Well, to get back to those 1,760 feet! When 

 we had cleaned it out, and all the old pots and 

 dead plants picked up, it did look as big as the 

 inside of a barn — bigger, indeed — big as an ar- 

 mory, in fact. 



We had six weeks in which to get ready to fill it 

 before we took possession, which is much the same 

 situation you will surely have while w^aiting for 

 your house to be put up and turned over to you, 

 with the heat turned on. It always happens 

 that way! 



Preparing the Filling for the Glass Garden 



Here's how we did it. I am telling this, not 

 so much to show that it is not an expensive 

 matter to "stock" a greenhouse, as to give an 

 idea of how one may go about having the wonder- 

 ful fun of filling the glass garden, almost with 

 one's own hands, right at the start. 



From what we did, the reader can see what 

 another can do — always keeping in mind that the 

 greenhouse is a garden wherein can be had what 

 you will (within reason), when you will, and how 

 you will.
