keeping down of run- 

 ning expenses — any 

 florist admits that, but half wi them 

 forget that repairs really come under 

 running expenses. We build a Half 

 Iron House with steel eave, steel posts, 

 etc., that because of its durability has 

 won great favor, but it is our Iron 

 Frame Construction that has a lease 

 of life of half a century and more. 

 That is why we always recommend to 

 you our Iron Frame.

THIS IS IT 



The new greenhouse ventilating catalog. It differs from 

 other catalogs because it not only shows gears and names 

 prices, but goes into their merits, and sptecial purposes to 

 which they are best adapted, in an interesting way, just as 

 we would talk it over together. Along with the rest we 

 would probably bring up the question of where best llo 

 hinge the sash, and the merits of long or short runs — wel , 

 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 part ot a greenhouse 

 but the glass. We sell any part.

The point is this: Here is a house that you can stand outside of and have an almost unobstructed 

 view of what is inside — that means there are no heavy structural hindrances to obstruct your view. 

 By the same token, all possible light reaches the plants. No gutter at eaves — light supporting 

 members — and wide glass spacing c^/v will give such growing results as U-Bar houses hold the 

 record for. Get to know the U-Bar construction whys. The catalog points them out — besivles its 

 interesting reading. Pierson U-Bar Company, Designers and Builders U-Bar Greenhouses,
