Perhaps you have a garage you can attach just such a greenhouse 
to. If so, do it by all means. It's a saving in several ways. 
GREENHOUSES 
The Two Compartment Subject 
D O YOU happen to know that fully 75 per cent of 
the greenhouses built are two compartment ones, 
about 18 or 25 feet wide and 50 feet long? 
Well, it’s so. 
So, because that size house is just a fine all-around medium 
size, that gives practically all the growing space the average 
person needs. 
With the two compartments, you can have, for example: 
April weather in one and July in the other. 
This gives you a chance to have violets and such semi- 
cool thriving plants in one compartment, and in the other, 
roses and like warmth loving friends. 
Or one compartment entirely for vegetables and the other, 
general flowers. 
In automobile language, a two compartment house, in 
combination with a row of cold frames along the sunny 
southern side, gives you three gears. Low, medium, and 
high. 
While you are building, it costs so comparatively little 
more to have a two compartment house 50 feet long, than a 
single compartment one 33 feet, that it seems like a mistake 
not to have it. 
But whatever you decide on; don’t think that one green- 
house is quite like another, as far as their construction is 
concerned. 
They differ greatly. Differ in first cost, cost of running, 
and cost of keeping them running. 
All three points are well worth your careful consideration. 
Their disregard may turn an otherwise joy-giving possession 
into a regret. 
Why don’t you suggest our coming and talking the whole 
matter over with you? 
Of course, you are welcome to our new catalogue — that’s 
understood.
