THE COOL GREENHOUSE 
By L. N. Sutton 
Sutton & Sons, Seedsmen 
THE AUTHOR’S name is sufficient introduction to most 
people who are interested in gardening. Cool greenhouse gar¬ 
dening with him, as with his father, has long been a hobby, 
and what he has to say in this book represents the accumu- ; 
lated results of years of study and experiment by his father, < 
by himself, and by their head gardener, Mr. F. Townsend. 
THE BOOK is addressed to those who have a cool green¬ 
house, and to those who have not—yet; to the owner-gar¬ 
dener, and to the potential greenhouse gardener; to the many ; 
thousands, in fact, who have a bit of garden at present un¬ 
adorned with a glasshouse because they do not realize what 
immense pleasure and beauty it can bestow at a trifling cost. 
Price, $2.00.
