I T is a compact, practical layout, containing five different com¬ 
partments or separate gardens. One you are always sure to 
find filled with beds of roses — another has hundreds of car¬ 
nations in bloom; while a third is an ever interesting semi-tropical 
house with palms and a large variety of warmth loving plants. 
Then there are two vegetable plots that sometimes have butter 
beans, tomatoes, and strawberries; at other times, cauliflower, 
spinach, cucumbers and such. In a greenhouse, the season has but 
little to do with what you grow; in fact, you twist the seasons all 
out of shape, and grow pretty much whatever vegetables you like when you 
like them. 
These houses have a complete steel frame of U-Bars; a thing that cannot be 
said of any other greenhouse construction. Houses built this way have a distinct 
advantage in productiveness, durability, and economy in running them. All three 
are of great importance to you if you intend building. Important enough for you 
to send for our catalog — or send for us —or both.
