Here is the Happy Thought 
of an Architect Friend 
S O far it’s only on paper, and he doesn’t admit 
it is going to be his own little vine and fig tree, 
but we have suspicions. However, be that as 
it may, he gave us permission to show it to you as 
a hint of the altogether charming way a glass gar¬ 
den can be closely linked with the residence and 
still have none of the usual regrettable hitched-on- 
effect. 
There seems to be a demand for glass gardens di¬ 
rectly adjoined to houses. 
It may be just because folks are at last really get¬ 
ting awake to the keen pleasure of having a perpet¬ 
ual garden where it can be enjoyed to its fullest. 
Or because so many when Over There saw how 
such link-ups were the usual thing in flower-loving 
England. 
Greenhouses of all sizes are as everywhere evident 
there, as garages are here. 
The Englishman certainly does have a way of get¬ 
ting joy out of life that we might in many ways 
well emulate. 
Think of the satisfaction it would be to just step 
out of your house and under cover, be right in your 
glass garden with its perpetual summerland of 
warmth and flowers. 
In that snug little work room, you could spend 
many a happy care free hour, “kind of pottering 
around” as they used to say in the days of poke 
bonnets. 
The greenhouse garden itself is 18 feet wide and 33 
feet long, which you will admit is about the right 
size in relation to this particular Colonial Cottage. 
Why go through another winter yearning for sum¬ 
mer and flowers when with one of our glass gar¬ 
dens, you can always have them both. 
Let’s talk it over now, so it will be ready then. 
To our printed matter you are of course most 
welcome.
