Some Greenhouse Suggestions 



As to Size and Location 



VERY naturally the size house you need 

 depends entirely on the gamut of things 

 you want to grow. However, for an all 

 around general purpose house, one like this, 50 

 feet long and divided into two compartments, 

 makes an admirable little layout. 

 The work-room is of regular greenhouse con- 

 struction and the glass ground or painted to take 

 off the glare and make it cooler to work in. 

 Some prefer to have one of our specially de- 

 signed wood or masonry work-rooms ; all of 

 which, of course, depends on how much money 

 you want to spend. But these are details that 

 can be talked over after you have seen our 

 catalog and selected the house you would like. 

 As to location, we generally encourage plac- 

 ing the greenhouse as near the residence as 



possible, so it will be easy to reach, no matter 

 what the weather. 



With our special curved eave construction and 

 the introduction of many architectural de- 

 partures and refinements in design, surely the 

 attractiveness of Hitchings houses, of all houses, 

 warrants their proximity to the residence. 



There are many little kinks and wrinkles about 

 this greenhouse well worth your careful con- 

 sideration before investing your "money. We 

 speak frankly in this way, because so many 

 disappointed owners have only themselves to 

 blame for the lack of satisfactory results or ex- 

 cessive upkeep cost of their greenhouse*. 



We want you to have our catalog and care- 

 fully investigate our houses.
