WHEN YOU BUIED 



THAT ROSE HOUSE 



lay it out with sidewalks. It is a great advantage 

 in reaching each plant on the side benches, with- 

 out the danger of injuring any in working among 

 them. But first, be sure of the right construction ! 

 For endurance and unquestionable practicalness 

 of every construction point, our Sectional Iron 

 Frame Houses fill every growing requirement. 



We make every part of a greenhouse 

 but the glass. We sell any part.

A very unusual proposition, this. We had two exacting things to overcome. The only 

 available location at the time, was just across the drive from the residence, which is so 

 situated that in the winter months, it would Shade the greenhouses. Then the ground 

 sloped off so rapidly that it necessitated high masonry lo bring the houses to the grade 

 level of the drive. You see how this was accomplished. The space below makes a good 

 workroom and an ideal place for the storage of bulbs, etc. Now about the shade question. 

 The gardener has been employed on several prominent places where there weie houses of 

 other constructions, and he flatly declares that the U-Bar houses, because they are so light, 

 give him just as good results, even with this handicap of shade, as other houses under the 

 very best of location advantages. So that is what the curved eave, light structural mem- 

 bers and wide glass spacing means from the practical, productive side alone. It is certainly 

 a tremendous advantage to have a house that gives to your plants such a large proportion 

 of all the available light. But know every U-Bar strong point — send for the catalog.
