The all-iron-frame house is naturally the most 

 expensive to build, but as maintenance costs 

 practically nothing and repairs are nil, its first 

 cost is soon more than compensated; and there- 

 after it is daily a gain over the part-iron or the 

 wood — the latter now seldom used. Greenhouse 

 glass must be the pure white variety, and here 

 again, as with the material of the frame, quality 

 is economy and the "double thick" glass which 

 weighs twentj^-two ounces to the square foot 

 should be used if possible. Glass that is still 

 heavier is often used in the modern houses where 

 the framework calls for large-size sheets. Ground 

 glass has been used for exotics, but in general it is 

 better to use the clear glass and depend for shade 

 when it is desired upon light fabric drawn across 

 the span. Summer shade for the roof must be 

 provided for, and there has been nothing better
