HOUSE AND GARDEN 
December, 1911 
W E call it a “tryout” because the owner has rather extensive ideas of the size of house 
he will eventually have, but he had us build this small one for him as a tryout to 
prove to himself that a greenhouse gives all the fun and satisfaction we say it does. 
It is so located and arranged that it can be enlarged economically and lose none of its 
attractiveness. A plan that is planned ahead, as it were. 
Perhaps you would like a tryout house? 
If you write us at once we will send you a catalog by return mail and by a little 
extra effort your house ought to be up in six weeks or so.

I T is far from our intention to create 
the impression that our stock is 
high priced. It is, however, ex¬ 
clusive in design, and it is also true that 
we have had the patronage of the most 
discriminating and particular people in 
all parts of the country. _ 
The reputation of our furniture has 
been built upon distinctive features, such 
as, the simple artistic lines of our de¬ 
signs, solid construction, and a variety 
of custom finishes. 
Our cottage furniture is especially 
adapted for both Shore or Country 
houses where a simple, harmonious and 
artistic effect is desired, conforming 
with the surroundings, and yet not sac¬ 
rificing one’s comfort. 
Shipments are carefully crated, insur¬ 
ing safe delivery. 
Send for complete set of over 200 
illustrations.

the trees and shrubbery borders are pe¬ 
rennial. Aside from cutting up the lawn, 
their usual early autumn decay make the 
lawns look unsightly. There is a great 
deal of beauty to the angular shape of the 
shrubs when the leaves have fallen. The 
bare forms of the trees against the au¬ 
tumn sky are picturesque indeed; but a 
bed of dying flowers has nothing in com- 
An acre lot planned to give individuality to 
the grounds and giving most attention to the 
place where most time is spent 
mon with these. Keep the lawn centers 
open, they are interesting and cheerful. 
Place your residence and out-buildings 
so they can be reached in the quickest and 
most natural way, keeping in mind the 
decorative individuality of your grounds. 
You will be much on your front porch and 
in your living room, and it is from these 
points, to a large degree, that you will 
enjoy your open lawns. Your out-build¬ 
ings should be of easy access from your 
residence, but screened off as much as 
possible with trees and high growing 
shrubs.
