HODGSON 
If you want a cottage at the shore or in the mountains this summer, get a Hodgson 
Portable House. Erect one on your own grounds, too, as a playhouse for the children 
or a lounging place at your tennis-court. If you need any adjunct to your regular home, 
buy one of the many styles of Hodgson Portable Houses. 
Made in sections that interlock for rigidity and constructed so simply they can be quickly 
bolted together by unskilled workmen, they represent the quickest and least expensive 
method of erecting a small house. Thoroughly practical for any season or climate. 
Our catalog shows you the great variety of purposes that Hodgson Portable Houses 
are made for. Address

The Sun and the Sunlight Sash 
Eleat rays from the sun can pierce the cold Winter air all right, only 
to be absorbed and destroyed by the frozen earth. 
But when they happen to fall upon glass—especially two layers of glass enclosing 
an air space, which is the Sunlight Sash—they pass right through and are saved. 
Then they warm up the bed and the plants and the double glazing holds the heat 
securely stored. 
The sun and the Sash make a Summer of their own —and your own, too, if you 
please to have it in your Winter Garden. 
You should equip your cold 
frames and your hot-beds 
with the Sunlights. These 
sash are complete in them¬ 
selves and need not be cov¬ 
ered with mats and shut¬ 
ters. Use them as you 
would any other sash, but 
Simken Path House 
omit the extra covers and 
save the most expensive and 
burdensome part of Winter 
gardening. Y’ou will also 
get earlier and stronger 
plants, for there will be no 
loss of light. 
If you want to work indoors, 
get a small inexpensive, 
ready made Sunlight Green¬ 
house. It is heated as easily 
as a bath room and gives ex¬ 
cellent service. 
CYPRESS is the only wood 
we use. We sell sash open 
or glazed; double-glazed or 
single glazed; unpainted or 
painted one or two coats; 
best sizes: 3' x 6' (standard); 3' x 3' (pony). 
The Greenhouse is sold either open or double glazed or 
single glazed, as you prefer. 
Call on the Sunlight for your needs. The cost will be 
small. The service Great. Shipment immediate.
