Peaches 



Are Ripe 



In May If You ■ 



Have One of ▼ 



Our Greenhouses 



PEACHES with skins thin as paper — Peaches 

 meaty, juicy and luscious. Just that kind 

 of peaches. And best of all, every peach will 

 have that same lusciousness. It's an utter impossi- 

 bility to grow such peaches outdoors — peaches 

 that you can absolutely depend on being uni- 

 formly fine, every season, every year, year after 

 year. 



Just why greenhouse grown fruit 

 is superior to any other fruit, is 

 simple enough when you come to 

 think of it, as the greenhouse makes 

 possible ideal growing conditions, 

 which are under perfect control at 

 all times. Heat, ventilation, moisture 

 and feeding can be carried on ex- 

 actly the same, year in and year out. 



None of the strength of the trees 

 goes to withstanding the weather — 

 none of the deliciousness of the 

 fruit is sacrificed because the season 

 is too dry, too wet, or too anything. 

 Fruit growing with one of our green- 

 houses is not expensive — in fact, it 

 is decidedly inexpensive. the middle of January 



Our new catalog tells all the particulars. It has seven pages devoted entirely to 

 growing fruit under glass. Send for it. Or better yet, send for us. 



Lord and Burnham Company 



You can do it in a house like the 

 one above, and have a number of 

 trees of a dozen different kinds, if 

 you wish. 



A regular orchard of nectarines, 

 apples, pears, plums, cherries ; yes 

 and grapes, too — grapes in pots, 

 with bunches weighing pounds. 



Have us build your house now 

 (one of those splendid iron frame 

 structures that will last a lifetime). 

 By building it now, you can get a 

 crop of vegetables or flowers this 

 fall and early winter, and follow 

 them by starting up your orchard
