AND 



THE H & CO. '^ like this When 

 you get ready to 



PROPOSITION build, go about a 

 bit and talk it 

 over with men who are thoroughly 

 up-to-date, successful. They know 

 what they are talking about and 

 so will you when they're through. 

 But don't put too much importance on 

 this man's theory, or that man's pet 

 idea; what you want is tried and proven 

 facts. When all this " looking around" 

 is over, come to us and we can give 

 you some cold, brittle, what-others- 

 have learned statements. Along with 

 the statements, goes a line-up of the 

 H & Co. construction and its whys. 

 You'll find it a good deal of satis- 

 faction to have had such a talk — to 

 own an H & Co. house. Write us.

The Newest Wrinkle in 

 Ventilation is Our En= 

 cased SeIf=Oiling Gear 



Not that a self-oiling gear 

 is new, but our way of 

 making it is. We will tell 

 you two of its strong points, 

 and then want you to write 

 for a full description of the 

 rest, with a price. 



One strong point is the 

 square bearing shaft which 

 makes slipping absolutely 

 impossible, no matter how 

 heavy the work. 



The Other is its Freedom 

 from Complicated nech= 

 anism, its Compactness

 other houses built other ways. 



An Eleven Foot* House 



makes a good general plant or orchid 

 house and serves in this particular case 

 to connect the potting room with the 

 large greenhouses on either side. 

 Here you can see to splendid advan- 

 tage the clean sweep, absolute light- 

 ness of the U-Bar construction and 

 get an idea of wide glass advantages. 

 There is panel ventilation underneath 

 the slate sided benches ; the steel casing 

 of roof bars and steel bench frames 

 are heavily galvanized, while every bit 

 of iron or steel is given a glistening 

 coat of aluminum paint, making them 

 proof against mildew and adding 

 wonderfully to the house's attractive- 

 ness. Send for catalog and look on 

 page eighteen for a description of 

 the remaining houses of this ex- 

 tensive range at Madison, New Jersey.
