Most Delightful and Health- 

 ful of Hobbies is One of 

 Our Glass Enclosed Gardens 



IT SEEMS there is a subtle something about this 

 growing of plants and flowers in a greenhouse that 

 is so diverting, so stimulating, that your bothers 

 and cares are forgotten. There is something so akin 

 to getting back to nature in it, that your physical 

 nature promptly responds by starting to build you up. 



This is the experience of greenhouse enthusiasts 

 over and over again. 



Another strong argument in a greenhouse's favor 

 is the pleasure it makes possible for all those 

 around you. 



Wouldn't you like to know the approximate cost 

 of just such a house as the one above ? 



In answer to your request for it, we will include 

 one of our catalogs showing several other houses, 

 some one of which may be even more to your liking.

Wkite Pines 



THEY will grow two to three feet in a 

 year. When small they have a beauty 

 and symmetry all their own. When 

 given room to spread, they develop into fine 

 big broad specimens full of dignity and 

 character. 



For landscape effects they are the king of 

 evergreens. For evergreen wind breaks 

 White Pines are the best, because their broad 

 dense foliage masses of fine needles stop the 

 wind. We have them in all sizes from six 

 inches up to twenty-five feet high. Splendid 

 specimens every one of them. Plant them 

 now and avoid the delays of the spring rush. 

 Frost makes no difference— it really helps. 

 Come and pick them out or order from the 

 catalog we will send you.
