A Snug Lean-to Greenhouse 



THERE are cases where the lean-to greenhouse is 

 the cheapest house to build. Take this one, for 

 instance : the owner had a root cellar in a side 

 hill, with a concrete wall at 

 the front, that faced the 

 garden toward the south. 

 Against this wall it was a 

 simple matter to build the 

 lean-to. 



It is protected from the 

 cold north winds, and ex- 

 posed to the sunny south. 

 A row of cold frames are 

 in front — and so the root 

 cellar, the greenhouse and 

 the garden are all together 

 — which is a handy way to 

 have them. 



Of course it is not neces- 

 sary that the house be built 

 against a wall — a stable or 

 any other existing building with a southern exposure is 

 just as good. 



If you had to go to the direct expense of building 



a north wall, you might better put that money into the 

 greenhouse and have a regular even span one. 



We are forever cautioning those who come to us, 

 against going to any but 

 greenhouse builders for 

 their house, however small 

 it may be. You naturally 

 think that's simply because 

 greenhouse building is our 

 business. And that is the 

 reason. 



But by the same token, 

 isn't it reasonable that we 

 should know this business 

 decidedly better than a car- 

 penter or the concern who 

 only does it occasionally? 



Isn't it reasonable that 

 in our fifty years of doing 

 nothing else we should 

 know how better than any 

 one else? Simply reasonable reasons. 



Shall we send you some of our printed matter, show- 

 ing some of the houses we have built?

Roses in the South 



Should Be Planted Before Xmas 



if a profusion of flowers is wanted next year. The 

 long growing season, rich red soil and congenial 

 climate of our Mountain Nurseries produce stocky, 

 sure-to-grow plants, that cannot be equaled any- 

 where else for vigor, health, and strong, hungry roots. 

 We know and grow only those kinds that are 

 certain to succeed and satisfy — and they are the 

 very best kinds.
