AND I 



THE NORTH 

 SIDE RESULT 



of our Steel Eave 

 Plate is what we want 

 you to know. When 

 we say this eave plate of ours clears itself from 

 snow and ice, we are talking particularly about 

 the north side of the house. 



This photograph of the north side of this 40 

 foot Iron Frame house of Mr. Jeff. Doremus, 

 at Madison, N. J., was taken last winter at four 

 o'clock on an afternoon when the mercury was 

 hanging around the below zero mark. The 

 fare is lieared of ice. 



But don't think the steel eave plate is for the 

 Iron Frame House only — we use it in our 

 Half Iron Construction and are ready to sell 

 you ten or ten hundred feet of it with the roof 

 bar brackets bolted to it. Get the price — 

 and get it now.

Two Ways the First Cost 



OF THE 



Wide House Wins Out* 



A house 1 1 feet wide requires identically the same sides, same ridge, 

 same work in setting side posts and putting up the frame, same amount 

 of glass and paint as the 30 foot wide nouse ; so one wide house is 

 not only cheaper to erect, but a very considerably cheaper to maintain, 

 than two narrow houses covering the same space. Don't make the 

 mistake of forgetting the difference between cutting expense down and 

 cutting; It off at both ends. The large house cuts both ends — the 

 building end and the maintaining end. 



Get your order for a Sectional Iron Frame House in at once so we can 

 make prompt deliveries the first building day in the Sprirg. 



We make every part of a greenhouse 

 but the glasH. We sell any part.

These U-Bar greenhouses afe the central feature 

 of an extensively laid out ground scheme.

By connecting the potting-house by a 11 feet passage 

 the shading of the central he use is overccme and 

 valuable space for propagating benches secured. 



|HE owner of this range 

 took unusual pains, lime 

 and trouble to investi- 

 gate thoroughly the 

 merits of the various greenhouse con- 

 structions, and placed the order with 

 us only after he had become convinced 

 that the U-Bar construction is greatly 

 superior to any other. Our catalog- 

 tells in an interesting way all about 

 the U-Bar construction. Send for it.
