Hitchings Greenhouses 



Turn the Seasons Upside Down 



NO MATTER if you do have 

 to tramp home in the snow 

 and the howling wind; when 

 you get there, you can go down 

 to your greenhouse and wear your 

 straw hat and pick some ripe peaches, 

 or luscious melons. The roses will 

 be in bloom and the sweet peas just 

 showing bud. Those old fashioned 

 flowers, the seeds of which you planted 

 on one of the side benches, will be 



putting those of your boyhood mem- 

 ory way in the back ground. 



Reluctantly you will leave, but not 

 before you have picked some carna- 

 tions to take along with the peaches 

 and melons. The chances are you 

 will refuse to wait till breakfast to 

 try the melons. 



If you have a Hitchings Green- 

 house, you can have Summer time 

 all the time.
