LUTTON 
MINIATURE GLASS GARDENS 
are like little greenhouses. They also embody the combination 
which enables you to gratify your desires for your favorite flowers 
and vegetables. At the same time they help you to solve the 
problem of the High Cost of Living. 
Twenty or more kinds of vegetables and a great variety of 
flowers can be raised by the amateur in LUTTON Miniature 
Glass Gardens. Their prices are remarkably low considering 
present high cost of materials and labor. Prompt shipment and 
satisfaction guaranteed. 
"Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.” — Heber. 
COMBINATION—not a simple key—is used by Spring to 
unlock the great Vegetable Kingdom. 
LUTTON GREENHOUSES 
employ the same combination. 
The Lutton Combination 
Perfectly controlled temperatures. 
Every available sunbeam reaches plants. 
Thorough ventilation with tempered air. 
Efficient drainage keeps earth just 
enough. 
Spring’s Combination 
Warmth from the sun. 
Vigorous action of light. 
Abundance of fresh warm air. 
April showers assist roots to absorb 
food. 
You will readilv see from the above that the LUTTON way is Nature’s 
way, with this difference—the LUTTON Greenhouse is always the same, 
day after day throughout the year, whereas Nature is fickle, cold one 
day and warm the next. 
That is why the products grown in LUTTON Greenhouses excel 
those of unassisted Nature.

TOWNSENDS TRIPLEX 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on Earth 
Cuts a Swath 86 Inches Wide 
Drawn by one horse, and 
operated by one man, the 
TRIPLEX MOWER will mow 
more lawn in a day than the 
best motor mower ever made, 
cut it better, and at a fraction 
of the cost. 
Drawn by one horse, and 
operated by one man, it will 
mow more lawn in a day than 
any three ordinary horse- 
drawn mowers with three 
horses and three men. (We 
guarantee this.) 
Does not smash the grass to 
earth and plaster it in the mud 
in springtime, nor crush out 
its life between hot rollers and 
hard, hot ground in summer, 
as does the motor mower. 
The Public is warned not to purchase mowers infringing 
the Townsend Patent No. 1,209,519, Dec. 19th, 1916
