Right Palm House Construction 

 and Arrangement 



For years we have been doing our best to 

 convince owners and their gardeners or 

 superintendents that the usual treatment 

 of the palm house with the entrance on 

 the ground level, results In a loss of effect, 

 turning the possible beauties that belong 

 to the palm house, into a regular store 

 room. A cluttered, jammed full proposition. 

 Now, enter this house from a raised vesti- 

 bule and look down on and through this 

 luxuriance, and the whole thing is trans- 

 formed into one of delightful interest and 

 a reward to the gardener for his work. 

 These raised vestibules are then also an 

 incentive to overcome the arbitrary, ar- 

 rangement of the walks by breaking up their straight lines. This interior of the Soldiers' 

 Home at Washington, D. C, is a splendid example of our treatment ; even from this 

 point of view looking toward the vestibule, it is most attractive. There's a good deal 

 more to be said, but it's more satisfactory to correspond with you. or talk it over at our 

 ofifice — better do both Lord & Burnham Co., Greenhouse Designers and Manufac-

HE first rot out on the ordinary house comes at 

 the eave line, the place where the condensation 

 settles into the joints — the U-Bar house has no 

 eave joints — the curved eave does away with 



them all. 



Then the 



U-Bar construction 

 is not only the 

 lightest but freest 

 from joints to decay.
