Cottage Designs 



THESE books offer to architects, builders, homeseekers and investors by far the 

 most complete collection of plans ever brought out, while the price is so 

 low as to place them within the reach of all who have an interest in the 

 building of homes. The designs are compiled with a view to representing all grades 

 of cost, from the simplest types of cottages, as illustrated in the first series, to the 

 comparatively elaborate structures reaching to $10,000 or more, in cost, treated in the 

 fourth series, so that examples are given covering nearly every requirement, with 

 respect to cost, in inexpensive homes.

What the Greenhouse Does 

 for the House and Garden 



WHAT a pleasing association, the linking of the house and 

 the garden — one but the natural result of the other. 

 The house demands the garden — the garden meets the 

 demands of the house — meets them in a most delightful, pleasure- 

 giving way. But even as the garden is essential to the house, so 

 is the greenhouse necessary to the garden. It just doubles the 

 garden possibilities in the early start it gets for your plants — the 

 countless bedding plants — the plants just ready to burst into 

 bloom. All because the glass-covered gardens are working 

 away all winter, so when spring comes the home grounds at once 

 seem to be almost at their best. The cut flowers you can have 

 all winter, and the out-of-season vegetables are always giving 

 pleasure to greenhouse owners. 



There is an unmistakable perfection of plan, distinctiveness and 

 convincement in the way we do this greenhouse building that is 

 not found in other houses. Write to us.
