If You Want Summer Time 



In The Winter Time 

 Build Your Greenhouse Now 



WHEN the roses are blooming 

 in June, it is so easy to forget 

 the dull dreary months of 

 wind and rain and snow. Summer in 

 all its beauty seems never ending ■ — ■ 

 until some chill evening your neigh- 

 bor comes along and says: "Feels 

 like frost; better cover up the plants." 



Then it is that we receive numerous 

 letters asking us to: "come at once 

 and see about building a greenhouse "; 

 or letters urging us to "hurry up with 

 my house, we simply must have it 

 completed at once."

Of course, we do all we can; but it's 

 hardly fair to expect us to do in a 

 few days what it requires weeks to do, 

 as it should be done. 

 The truth is: if you want your green- 

 house ready so your flowers will be 

 blooming freely for Thanksgiving 

 Day and melons ripe for Christmas, 

 you ought to get started at once. 

 The quickest way would be to send 

 for one of our representatives and go 

 right into the matter from A to Z. 

 At your request we will come and 

 see you or send catalog.
