Every Home Needs a Garden 
And every Garden worth while 
needs hot-beds and cold-frames 
Or, Joy! a small Greenhouse! 
To be most efficient and to cost the least 
to operate, the hot-beds and cold-frames 
must be covered with the SUNLIGHT 
DOUBLE-GLASS sashes. They need no 
mats and shutters—they are complete in 
themselves and everlastingly profitable. 
The small. ready - made, inexpensive 
SUNLIGHT Greenhouse is covered with 
these sashes, which are removable at will 
for use elsewhere. The house is easy to 
heat.
