 you? You can have winter posies at no 

 expense at all, propagate early plants for 

 your garden, and cut your table expenses

 from a modest lean-to for the garage to a hand- 

 some unit for the country estate. They are 

 built in completely finished standardized sec- 

 tions and come to you ready to assemble.

 and profit in a Callahan greenhouse.
