Attach One of Our Greenhouses 

 to Your Garage 



It is an arrangement that has many advantages. When planning your garage, you can arrange to divide 

 off part of it as a work room for the greenhouse; or, if already built, you can attach the work room 

 directly to the garage as in this case. Either way saves you space and money. Then there is the heat- 

 ing — the boiler for one will heat the other with but slight additional cost. 



This house is about 33 feet long and 18 wide, and is divided in two compartments, so that plants 

 requiring different temperatures can be grown successfully. 



It is a small house, but large enough for this owner who likes to fuss around in it, enjoying quite as 

 much its fun and healthfulness as the flowers it grows. However, it is surprising the number of things 

 you can grow with even so small a house, and it's an easy enough matter to add to it any time, if built 

 with our Sectional Iron Frame Construction. 



It is a construction that has many advantages, not the least of which is its durability and consequent 

 freedom from repairs. This point will at once appeal to you. 



Another thing is that all parts of it are cut and fitted at our factory so that when the materials 

 reach your ground they can at once be put up. This means no delays and your grounds are disturbed 

 for an incredibly short time. 



When you do build, do it right, otherwise your disappointments will be many, as right greenhouse 

 building means an accurate knowledge of plant requirements, a knowledge only acquired by years of 

 experience. We have had half a century of it. 



Write to branch office nearest you for further information. One of our representatives will gladly 

 come and talk it over if you are thinking of building.
