The Largest Range 
of Greenhouses 
in Massachusetts 
Up in the historic Cape Cod sec- 
tion, at Marion, Mass., is lo- 
cated one of the finest green- 
house installations in this country. 
It was built by the W'ni. H. Lutton 
Co. for Galen L. Stone, Esq., and 
is one of tlie show places of that 
locality. 
It is a noteworthy fact that this 
installation is considered the larg- 
est modern range of glass in Mas- 
sachusetts — a state noted for its 
great area in cultivation under 
glass. 
There are luuulreds of other 
LL'TTOX Greenhouses, both large 
Flower House ol Ihe Ston.' Range 
and small, in operation in all parts 
of the country. The Lutton Co., 
however, practically limits its work 
and study to the private estate. 
By specializing in this way, we . 
have built up an enviable reputa- 
tion among up-to-date gardeners 
and owners. 
Would you like to know how 
and why our work differs from 
that of our competitors? We 
\v<.ulfl like to tell you.
