If your mind is tending towards a con- 
servatory — then we have a notion our 
new catalog will meet that tendency more 
than half way. 
It's not the usual catalog — therefore, it 
logically contains many unusual con- 
servatories and greenhouses albeit every 
one is a practical one. 
You will find it full of suggestions and 
teeming with a surprising number of the 
things you want to know. In short, it 
sort of anticipates your questions. 
It is sent only on request.

is a basic truth, and absolutely essential to the success of any 
greenhouse building operation. 
Our organization is letter-perfect down to the minutest detail. 
Along with many other prominent Metropolitan Greenhouse 
owners, Mr. Martin Metzner, for whom we built this green- 
house on his estate at Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island, will 
verify our claim that we are capably equipped to build satis- 
factorily, rapidly and economically.
