Inside and Outside 
LUTTON GREENHOUSES 
Show the Mark of Quality 
THE view above shoves the general attractiveness of LUTTON design, 
the wide glass employed (24 inches) and the iceless eaves, which are 
free from heavy shadow -casting members. 
The lower view shows the unusual amount of headroom found in 
LUTTON ranges so that tall plants are handled as easily as low ones. It 
also demonstrates the abundance of light flowing into the house. 
But neither of these views illustrates some of the mosj important advan- 
tages of LUTTON construction, such as the rust -proof protection of .the 
metal parts; the compactness of the V-Bar supporting members; the ab- 
sence of glass- to -metal contact which diminishes, gVass breakage; the e.ver: 
lasting slate benches, and a score of other features of equal importance. 
We will gladly send you full particulars, covering either our "rust -proof" 
V-Bar type or Standard Iron Frame curved eave type of greenhouse. Write
