Something More 
About This Greenhouse for 
Comparatively Little Money 
ERCHANCE + you may have the 
idea that because this attractive little 
greenhouse is made with our Sec- 
tional [ron Frame Construction, in the 
same way as our larger houses, that it will 
probably be too expensive for you? Or 
in other words, you have looked at the 
house and very much desired it, but hesi- 
tated about bothering us with your inqui- 
ries. And there is where you make two 
mistakes. 
In the first place, although this house is 
not a so-called cheap house—it is neverthe- 
less as mexpensive as an enduring, every 
way satisfactory greenhouse can be. 
Selling it as we do, with all parts cut, 
drilled, fitted, and given one coat of paint, 
(with everything ready for immediate 
erection by your local mechanic) the very 
considerable cost item of skilled labor is 
overcome. 
THE BENCHES you can have of all 
cypress, or pipe frame, in accord with the 
length of your pocketbook. 
THE HEATING will cost the same 
in whatever kind of house you put up— 
that is, with an entirely dependable heat- 
ing apparatus—and of course, no one can 
afford to take any chances with growing 
things, when freezing weather has to be 
taken into consideration. 
The matter of answering your inquiry is a 
simple one, because we have an eight page 
folder which describes every important de- 
tail of the house, and gives you just the in- 
formation we imagine you want. So let 
us send the circular, and although we will 
keep you in mind, you shall not be nagged 
by numberless follow-up letters.

taria Japonica with glossy green foliage and 
berries which are bright red at the end of 
July, but change later to a bluish black 
color and drop in August. It is, however, 
not quite hardy and needs protection in the 
Northern States. 
The mountain holly (Nemopanthus Can- 
adensis or N. fascicularis) shows its purple 
slender-stalked fruits by the end of July and 
keeps them until about the middle of August; 
it is a slender shrub from five to ten feet high 
with insignificant flowers and pale green 
foliage and grows well in moist or swampy 
soil. 
The fruits of the climbing bittersweet 
nightshade (Solanum Dulcamara) begin to 
assume their brilliant scarlet color about 
the end of July and continue to appear in 
loose drooping clusters together with the 
violet flowers until the frost sets in. This 
shrubby vine delights in somewhat shady 
and moist situations and keeps its fruit long 
after the leaves have fallen. 
Most kinds of dogwood have ornamental 
berries. The earliest to ripen is the Siberian

The edible fruits of Hleagnus longipes make it one 
of the most attractive shrubs of July 
dogwood (Cornus alba), which bears about 
the middle of July clusters of, milky white 
fruit-berries, and similar fruits are borne 
somewhat later by the red osier dogwood. 
Both species are very conspicuous in winter 
with their bright red stems. 
One of the most beautiful of the shrubs 
with ornamental fruit is the high bush cran- 
berry or cranberry tree (Viburnum Opulus), 
with its pendulous clusters of brilliant scarlet 
berries. ‘These assume a light yellow color 
by the end of July and gradually change 
to scarlet, and remain on the branches 
throughout the winter without losing their 
color.
