Things to Think Over 



About Our Two 



Constructions 



fpl^Y the two, we mean the Semi-iron or Pipe 

 I wj Frame, and the Sectional Iron Frame. 



The Seini-iron materials cost less to 

 buy but cost more to erect than the Iron Frame. 



The Iron Frame materials cost more to 

 buy but cost less to erect. 



The masonry, the glass, the painting, the 

 heating and the benching cost exactly the same 

 for either. 



For houses of moderate 

 widths, the Semi -iron 

 makes the best house 

 possible for the money. 



For widths beyond 38 

 feet, the Semi-iron re- 

 quires so many more col-

The following paragraph is from a letter re- 

 cently received from D. C. Ilorgaa, owner of the 

 Idle Hour Nurseries, one of whose houses is 

 shown above. It speaks for itself: 



"Your concern has been exceedingly kind to 

 us in the past, and you cau rest assured that if 

 we are ever in the market for any mure green- 

 house material we will not show a lack of appre- 

 ciation for what you have done for us. When 

 concerns treat us rght we believe in sticking to 

 them, and we think your concern is one of the 

 whitest in the country." 



Why don't you write 

 us the size of house you 

 are thinking of building, 

 along with the particulai'S 

 about its location and the 

 crops you want to grow ? 

 Then we will gladly 

 advise you as to the con- 

 struction that seems best 

 adapted to your purposes.
