Some Plain Every Day Reasons 

 For Building Our Greenhouses 



THIS ad. has nothing to do with the happiness giving, flowering side of a green- 

 house; but why a Hitchings greenhouse will keep on keeping you happy. 

 When your house is new, the paint clean and white and the plants almost vigor- 

 ous, it makes you feel as if your money was well invested. 



A month or so later when you are having difficulty in getting heat without forcing 

 your boiler, the edge of your enthusiasm is taken off a bit. 



When it developes that the arrangement of the house is such that in the short days 

 of mid-winter the compartment intended for roses is shaded so that blooms are scanty, 

 it makes you wonder a bit. When the glass loosens and slips down and some of 

 your choicest orchids freeze, you look at the roof and wonder if it's right or not. 



When summer comes and the carnations are sweltering in the heat because the 

 ventilation is insufficient, you have about lost patience and wonder why you hadn't 

 looked into all these things before putting your money into the house. 



Then it is you begin to think of what we told you about our long experience in 

 planning, building and equipping greenhouses and how we would take the entire re- 

 sponsibility off your hands and you could feel sure you were surely getting the most 

 efficient, practical house. One that was worth every cent we asked for it. 



All of which is of course supposing you had bought your house by the yard 

 measure of price, and lost sight of the after costs that must inevitably happen where 

 quality is sacrificed to price. Putting it briefly — you can depend on Hitchings 

 & Co. For so superior a house, you will be surprised when you really look into 

 its every detail; how reasonably it is priced. If you wanl a dependable house at a 

 reasonable price, we would like to hear from you. We have catalogs of more than 

 usual interest which you are welcome to.
