A Chat on Planning 



HpHERE'S a lot of mystery, wonderment about a greenhouse and the 

 way it turns the seasons about and goes on doing things no matter 

 how the mercury tumbles ; and there are plenty of people nowadays taking 

 the greenhouse as it should be, and personally doing things with it. 

 It offers a pastime of unending interest and most delightful returns. Just 

 at this time of the year many of you are thinking of building or are 

 laying out the grounds ; now, why don't you include the greenhouse in 

 these preparations ? The way they are con- 

 structed nowadays, makes them a decidedly 

 ornamental feature. This compact, attractive 

 house shown is an important part of a some- 

 what formal scheme, and you can see from the 

 plan how it faces the garden of flowers. A nice 

 bit of planning, isn't it ? So much for effects, 

 now for action : It takes time to build a 

 greenhouse, and if you want it ready to meet 

 the depredations of frost then it's time you began 

 to get it under way. Shall we come and talk 

 it over with you, or would it be more to your convenience to 

 drop in at our New York Designing and Sales Offices ? LORD &
