A COMPARISON 



When you compare the cost of the wooden 

 house with our Iron Frame House, bear 

 in mind that the Iron Frame costs less to 

 erect, less to keep in repair, and gives 

 you greater returns in quantity and quality 

 of flowers, thin the best cypress house 

 made. It is a construction that pays for 

 itself many times over. 

 The next best proposition is our Half Iron 

 Frame House. Send for circular.

1170 Broadway New^Vork 



Our 



lis advantage is, none of the benches are shaded 

 by the ridge. 



This section is the 53ft. Sectional Iron Frame 

 house we lurnished Mr. Fred Burki this season. 

 His location on a side hill gives him a grade of 

 about 5 fett in fifty. 



Robert Simpson built his two 30 x 465 feet houses 

 on the level, and graded them inside to meet his 

 particular ideas. 



Here then are examples of mtdium and wide 

 Shadeless Ridge houses of our Sectional Iron Frame 

 Construction. Each owner declares ih it they are the 

 houses of the future, no matter what you want to grow. 



If you are going to build, think these things over 

 anfi get in touch with us.

THIS IS THE WAY A U-BAR 

 HOUSE LOOKS FROM INSIDE 



You have never seen anything that any- 

 where near approaches it for lightness. 

 Think what it means not only to have no 

 gutter at the eaves, but also no heavier 

 supporting roof members than the U-Bar, 

 at any point of the roof. 



Think what this wonderful lightness 

 means in increased blooms, especially 

 just this time of the year when light is at 

 such a premium. 



Think what a pleasure such an attrac- 

 tive, beautiful house always is — what a 

 pride you can take in its being ■' the best 

 there is." 



The thing for you to do is to drop in 

 at our office at an early date, or write us 

 at once about the new U-Bar house you 

 want.
