GREENHOUSES 



One With Four Garden Plots 



THERE are two compartments or garden plots on 

 either side of the workroom. 



Those four plots, each 18 feet wide by about 33 long 

 give a wide range of temperature controls. 



It makes possible the growing oi an extensive variety 

 of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. 



As for the plan itself, much can be said in its favor. 



The workroom in its central location makes it easy 

 to reach the compartments. 



It is correspondingly easy to heat, as the distribution 

 of pipes is equal on both sides of the boiler. 



Should you not care just now to build all four com- 

 partments — then have the two on one side of the work- 

 room erected; and then add the other two later. 



In thinking of the practicalness of this plan, however, 

 do not lose sight of the practicalness of the right con- 

 struction for the greenhouse part. 



So much of its continued success, and your continued 

 pleasure in its possession, depends on it, that it might 

 be well to go slow in your selection of the concern 

 whose construction you adopt. 



We would like the opportunity to tell you fully of the 

 many things about our method of both building and 

 doing business. Things that have earned for us the 

 saying: "You can depend on depending on Hitchings." 



Our catalogue you are most welcome to.
