AND( 



ANOTHER THING 

 TO THINK OVER 



You know how 

 a chicken will 

 start on a keen 

 run from a 

 neighboring field to run across in 

 front of a wagon ? The chicken lacks 

 sense that's sure ! But what of growers 

 who go out of their way to install 

 boilers that in their fundamental prin- 

 ciples are for residence heating ? Res- 

 idence heating is not greenhouse 

 heating. You must have a green- 

 house boiler to heat your greenhouse 

 economically. We have two green- 

 house boilers, the-tried-dut-and-proven 

 Corrugated Firebox boiler and our 

 new friend the Sectional. 



Think over the chicken episode and 

 send 5c in stamps for our boiler catalog.

A.11 you need is a monKex ^vrencK and a 

 scre^v driver to set up a **BurnHani** Boiler 



n you have had set up troubles of your own, or have seen others stru^ghng 

 wttli four or five men to set up a boiler — one that never was a greenhouse 

 boiler, because it was not made especially for greenhouse work — then you 

 see the force of the "Burnham"' way, with its push nipples and single tie 

 bolts to each section. 



It is just as easy to add more sections. No new base, no dis- 

 turbing of piping. It is told about in the new catalog.

You can see plain enough from this section what 

 the combining of roof bar and rafter as one means. 

 There is no construction as light and stitl be as strong 



|HERE is nothing bet- 

 ter than a section 

 to show to you the 

 lightness and gen- 

 "^"^ eral arrangement of 



a U-Bar, three quarter span green- 

 house. The U-Bar which supports the 

 glass without the addition of rafters — 

 as required in other constructions — 

 looks to be about the size of a broom 

 handle — and so they are. You see 

 that the gutter and sill are combined, 

 and placed on top of wall. That same 

 lightness, yet strength in the house 

 itself, is carried through its entire 

 equipment. The galvanized iron frame, 

 tiled bottom benches, and ventilation 

 apparatus show that fact. Note how 

 hand wheel is set just inside bench 

 line so the handle is always com- 

 pletely out of the way. 



These points may seem small of 

 themselves, but they all combine to 

 make the U-Bar house the perfect 

 house it is. Did you ever send for 

 that new catalogue?
