Now suppose you place wood side posts every 4 feet two inches to the 

 centres, at a coat of not less than 80c. to $1.00 a post. The cast iron foot 

 piece we put every 8 feet 4 1-2 inches to the centres at a cost of $1.85 

 each — just half the number of foot pieces — just half the number of post 

 holes — just half the time and bother of lining up — just half the amount 

 of paint — just half the amount of shade.

But — what of extra post holes, the cost of con- 

 creting, extra time, extra paint, the quick rot, 

 the increased shade — the liability of sagging? 

 Isn't it a case of weakness at the very 

 place it should be strongest?

U-BAR GREENHOUSES ARE THE BEST GREENHOUSES BUILT 



X i other form of greenhouse construction compares with the U-Bir type for lightness, strength, 

 durability, adaptability, simplicity, and conformity to all horticultural and architectural requirements. 

 It is a clear departure from the old methods of construction and a great step in advance. A prominent 

 gardener writes us, " My predictions are that all up t) date horticulturists will demand this type of 

 construction in the future." With those anticipating the erection of a greenhouse, we will be pleased 

 to correspond or have representative confer in person.
