The workroom and adjoining single house were erected for Oliver Iselin, at 

 Glen Head, L. I. Later the large house with its connecting passage was added 



GREENHOUSES 



Planning with an Eye to the Future 



SO DELIGHTFUL, so altogether satisfactory are the 

 pleasures of greenhouse possessing, that invariably 

 the man who starts with a one compartment house, 

 33 feet long, soon wants one with two. 



The two compartment owner finds himself looking with 

 pleasure towards one of four or more. 



So strongly established is this phase of greenhouse owning, 

 that we long ago adopted the method of always planning for 

 possible future additions, when laying out and locating one of 

 our houses. 



In doing this, much needless expense has been saved for our 

 customers. 



Such was the case with the one above. 



Workroom number one and greenhouse compartments two 

 and three, as shown on the plan below, were first erected. 

 Then the connecting passage, four, and greenhouse five were 

 added later. 



We have photos of the first portion which we would be glad 

 to send you, to compare it with the present completed layout. 



When you are ready to consider building, let us offer you 

 the advantage of our layout and construction experts. 



Their services carry no fees or obligations on your part. 

 One of them will gladly arrange to call at such time and place 

 as you may suggest. 



To our catalogue, you are of course welcome.
