It's Worth All It Costs 

 —and More— to Have 

 Greenhouses Like 

 These Where You Can 

 Pick Armfuls of Car- 

 nations all the Year 



NOT just enough for one vase, but 

 dozens of big spicy blooms — a 

 plenty for every room in the 

 house and some besides for your friends 

 — especially those who are invalids. 



In one plot carnations — in another 

 roses — and then come plots each for 

 sweet peas, stocks, canterbury bells, 

 snap dragons, and mayhap nastur- 

 tiums climbing up the columns. Not 

 simply flowers, mind you, but your 

 favorite flowers — flowers grown in your 

 own glass enclosed garden. 



All of which you say sounds very 

 alluring — but ! 



In answer to which let us ask you a 

 question: have you ever written us or 

 talked with any of us about a green- 

 house for your particular pocketbook? 



Then how do you know you can't 

 afford one? Are you one cf those who 

 hang on tenaciously to the impression 

 that greenhouses are a decided luxury 

 and only to be possessed by the very 

 wealthy? 



For just such we have prepared 

 a catalog — 100 pages — that starts 

 with the simplest, most inexpensive 

 greenhouse and then gradually leads 

 up to the largest ranges of houses. 

 There is one among the lot that we 

 feel sure will suit you. Let us know 

 which one and we will promptly write 

 you its cost and such other informa- 

 tion as you may desire. 



Send for the catalog. It's at least 

 worth it to know that after all you 

 can have a greenhouse of your own.
