The Kind of Greenhouse to Build 149 



It all depends on what you want to do with a 

 greenhouse. And when you have decided what 

 will best fit your purpose and your purse, you 

 will have some of the following points to consider: 



The Greeiihouse to Fit the Place 



First of all, a greenhouse must fit into your 

 place, and link up with the other buildings in 

 fairly harmonious fashion. You do not want 

 anything, whether large or small, that will be 

 an excrescence! Of course you must put the 

 house where it will get an abundance of light; 

 that is absolutely essential. It may fit into a 

 nook or jog in the house; be built into the ve- 

 randa; or made part of one of the boundary walls; 

 or even be almost concealed in a pergola ! 



Modern builders of greenhouses, knowing from 

 wide and varied experience what can be done 

 with curved iron frames and glass, can make a 

 greenhouse grow where one would have thought 

 it was impossible. And where they are put, they 

 stay put — they will remain there during the life 

 of the dwelling house itself. That is, of course, 

 assuming that the best in construction is used. 

 In most things you buy, as you have probably 

 discovered, the best is the cheapest. That is 

 more so with a greenhouse than with anything 

 else you can buy.
