As A Paying Proposition 



THE assumption that a greenhouse on a private 

 place cannot be made to pay or that it is an out 

 and out luxury — is a fallacy. 



By way of comparison — the man who buys a touring 

 car and devotes it solely to pleasure jaunts and then 

 states that "it is nothing but a continuous bill of expense" 

 certainly is not to be classed with the one, who in addition 

 to the pleasurable side also.uses his car to the undoubted 

 advantage of his business, either direct or indirect. 



By the same token; greenhouses can be either a 

 delightful expenditure; a combination of pleasure and 



profit; or a strictly business proposition. 



The owner of the houses above 

 adds to his income by furnishing flowers 

 and vegetables to a big city hotel, in 

 addition to having a local trade of no 

 mean proportion. 



Why don't you investigate the three above named phases 

 and convince yourself that you ought to have a greenhouse ? 



We will gladly help you in every way by sending our 

 printed matter, suggesting places to visit or better yet, come 

 right to your home and talk it over. Which shall it be?
