A Starting Point 
Suppose instead of putting off because it requires the 
investing of so much money all at once on the green- 
house your grounds really need — you start with a 50- 
foot house something like this one? Locate it so addi- 
tions can be made to best advantage. We will plan it 
for the extensions so you may know exactly how it 
should really be. The SO-foot house now — the addi- 
tions in a year or so. Write at once and tell us just 
what you think is needed now.
