Home Grown Lilies 



Fresh from the Ground 



Those ivho have tried them believe them 

 better than store bulbs. Better give both 

 a trial this Fall, and compare results. 



Early planted tulips, crocuses, daffodils, etc., 

 give better results in the North than late planted, 

 because the roots have time to form before 

 cold weather. Try early planting. Horsford's 

 Autumn Supplement, ready middle of August, 

 offers a \ong list of the best lilies, tulips, cro- 

 cuses, daffodils, etc., which are very promising 

 this season. My stock of lilies is the best I have 

 ever had, and the Lilium Henryi, the new and 

 most durable one of its kind, is especially fine. 

 The prices will be very low. Before placing your 

 orders for Herbaceous Perennials, Bulbs, and 

 other plants send for my Autumn Supplement. 

 It will save you time and disappointment.

Why We Believe This Is Just the 

 Greenhouse for You 



FIRST, there is its reasonableness of price — ■ then its 

 downright practicalness combined with unusual at- 

 tractiveness — and finally, there is what it will do for 

 you. By do for you, we mean not only the satisfaction of 

 having your flower or vegetable garden prolonged right 

 through the winter, but that good, genuine, healthly green- 

 house enjoyment, to which there is nothing quite to be 

 compared. 



It is just about the most useful thing you can put 

 your money into, as every member of the family 

 can share freely in the many pleasures otherwise 

 impossible. 



To get back to the starting point — the cost — you 

 ask, what do we mean by reasonable in price? $500 

 covers the cost for all the materials, including the specially 

 made indestructible benches, the heating apparatus and 

 ventilating equipment. 



It has a complete steel frame that is as firm as a rock, 

 will last an indefinite time, and gives you a light, pleasing, 

 architectural effect. 



It is eleven feet wide and twenty-five feet long. 



There will be no bothersome glass breakage, and it is 



framed up in sections so lhat enlarging at any time can 

 easily be done 



Everything is cut and fitted, all ready for immediate 

 erection. 



But you must not confuse this house in any way with the 

 short-lived, wooden frame greenhouses. 



This price of $500 includes all the materials, even to the 

 iron posts, which are set in the ground, and do away with 

 the expense of a foundation, like the one in the illustration. 



If you are willing to spend $500 for an every way first 

 class, completely equipped greenhouse that is built so 

 well and looks so well you can attach it directly to your 

 residence, if you care to, then we both had better begin to 

 talk business. 



If the indestructible benches the boiler and heating 

 apparatus are not included, the house will cost in the 

 neighborhood of $250 



If you order it now, we will step lively so you can have 

 the house up betimes for starting your winter flower favor- 

 ites. So don't let the matter drop " for the present," as one 

 is so often inclined to do. There is only one way to get a 

 greenhouse — and that is to gel it.
