GREENHOUSES 



A Model One for Group Development 



FOR AN attractive well balanced group of houses, 

 one either complete unto itself, or erected with the 

 idea of possible future additions, let us hasten to 

 put our unrestricted seal of approval on this one. 



The plan below shows its development into a com- 

 pact, thoroughly practical grouping. 



Of course we have no intentions of putting undue 

 emphasis on these large groups of houses, when what 

 you may want just now is a much smaller one. 



But supposing you had wanted a large one; wouldn't 

 you have been decidedly interested in this one ? 



Whatever size, however, you may be thinking of, send 

 for our new catalogue. It contains all sizes from small 

 leantos, up to houses much larger and more pretentious 

 than even this one.
