AND 



You Want A Greenhouse 



Every "American Homes and Gardens" reader does ; but how to go about it is 

 the next question. As a start, make up your mind to have a worth-while house 

 and not a makeshift, temporary "woodpile" carpenter affair that only means dis- 

 appointments, and really costs you just as much in the end as one of our rightly con- 

 structed, thoroughly built houses. 



We build a house entirely of cypress, or one of iron frame combined with 

 cypress. The all- wood house is cheaper and will give you the same pleasure as the 

 iron frame one; however, we can fit the house to your pocketbook. 



Send 5 els. in stamps for "How to Get Started wilh a Snug Little Greenhouse." 

 It answers questions and is almost interesting reading.
