BEWARE OF 

 FIXED IDEAS 



AND 



By that we mean, 

 don't be the man 

 who just because he 

 has been moderately 

 successful with the all- cypress house, 

 feels that he has the whole greenhouse 

 building matter down to a fine point. 

 We would discard our entire Iron 

 Frame Construction tomorrow if we 

 were certain of something better. 

 That's where we stand on improve- 

 ments ! Although improvements are 

 constantly being made on our Iron 

 Frame Construction, the main features 

 have remained the same for years. 

 It is not a fixed idea, however, but a 

 proven fact that for growing records, 

 lightness and freedom from repairs, it 

 makes a house you can't beat. Write us.

It's used at the ridge, and for side ventilation. 

 It has the same machine cut worm and machine 

 turned bearings. The shaft is round and the gear wheel 

 double clamped to it and then set-screwed beside — there can 

 be no slipping, and that's a mighty strong point.

|HE usual iron frame house looks full as well when benched 

 up and stock well grown, but it's with an almost empty 

 U-Bar house like this one, that you get the real value of 

 the wonderful lightness and grace of U-Bar construction- 

 That gutter free curved eave makes an unobstructed space 

 from ridge to sill, for the 24 inch glass. The partitions are so 

 light that without the doors they would scarcely be noticeable. 



This particular house is left 

 open in the centre for the taller 

 plants in pots. 



It's a splendid, clean cut invit- 

 ing sort of a house, as thoroughly 

 practical as it is attractive.
