 YOU KNOW on a ventilating ap- 

 paratus is so many 

 more joints to add friction, work loose 

 and allow lost motion. The fewer 

 parts and the closer arranged the 

 more durable and easy working, pro- 

 vided the gear is made on advanced 

 mechanical principles of applying the 

 power. Our Oil Itself Gear is a 

 c'ean cut, compactly made piece of 

 machinery, with fewer parts, giving 

 greatest power. It is the up-to-date 

 florist's machine. Get the prices.

Send for our New Greenhouse 

 Ventilating Catalog 



IT DIFFERS 



from other catalogs because it not only shows 

 gears and names prices — but goes into their 

 merits, and special purposes to which they are 

 best adapted, and it's done in an interesting way, 

 just as you and I might talk it over to- 

 gether. Along with the rest, you would probably 

 bring up the question of where best to hinge the 

 sash, and the merits of long or short runs — well, 

 the catalog has its say so on them, too. It is the 

 kind of catalog every grower wants for reference. 

 Drop us a postal and we will send it along. 



We make every pari of a greenhouse 

 but the glass. We sell any parV.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON 



10 get the full force of the curved eave unhampered by a 

 shade casting gutter, look at a U-Bar house from the 

 point of view taken in this photo. The gutter as placed 

 casts no shade and the extreme lightness, yet evident 

 strength of ihe construction, is unmistakable. Every 

 ^.W^^little detail of the construction has been so carefully 

 worked out to insure the durability of the house that we even immerse the 

 cypress core of the steel U-Bar in a chemical preservative. The steel part 

 is galvanized and then coated with a mildewless glistening aluminum paint. 

 It stands for the very highest point yet reached in advanced construction.
