Another Amateur's House 



THIS greenhouse we erected for a man at Irvington-on-Hudson. A simple, 

 practical lay out, with a potting house conveniently arranged and a heat- 

 ing system that needs little attention. It is 50 feet long and 20 wide, 

 divided in two compartments foi different temperatures. Just the right size 

 house not to be a care and rob him of the joy of it. In one side he grows 

 violets, carnations, chrysanthemums and the gamut of flowers that resent 

 coddling — the other side, roses. After these have seen their best days, follow 

 tomatoes, melons and " kindred tribes." 



BURNHAM-HITCHINGS-PIERSON 



BOSTON BRANCH, 



The house runs north and south, so the coldframes were placed on the 

 eastern side facing the south. Here he grows Swiss chard for greens all the year 

 around — has radishes, lettuce, parsley, etc., till first of February. He does a 

 lot of things, and does them so easily and is so enthusiastic that he has given 

 to us of his experience, and we have given it to you in 



" S. S." our booklet on Starting a Small Greenhouse. 

 "P. P." on the Pleasure and Profit of Coldframes. 

 We want you to have one or both.j
