AND 



NOW STOP RIGHT 

 WHERE YOU ARE 



and before you 

 spend another 

 cent in all cypress 

 houses, turn the following factsover in your mind. 

 To make any all-cypress house rigid, you must 

 have heavy sash bars, numerous heavy purlins, 

 a cumbersome, ugly, soon to decay eave Lne. 

 If you don't build them heavy, then your house 

 becomes wind-shaken, the putty loosened, let- 

 ting the air in and the heat out. You have the 

 extra expense of frequent reglazings. Such a 

 house then can never b6 economical ! Do 

 you honestly think it pays to buy such repair 

 troubles ? Are you actually going to put your 

 money into a back number construction, when 

 all up-to-date, "right on the job" kind of 

 growers are investing their money in a perma- 

 nent proposition in our Iron Frame House? 

 Think it over, then write us.

A QUESTION OF FIT 



Any boiler that is loaded right up to its limit is short 

 sighted economy. It requires constant attention, burns 

 out the grates faster and when there's an extra zero night 

 you are up against it. So put in a " Burnham " large 

 enough to leave a working s'lrplus. Then as your demand 

 for more boiler capacity comes, add more sections. You 

 can do this with a " Burnham " without change of piping 

 or disturbing the base. The " Burnham " is a greenhouse 

 boiler made to meet greenhouse conditions, and it meets 

 them. Have your name put on the list for the new 

 Edition E Catalog.

U-BAR 



F you want to get an accurate idea of exactly what the 

 U-Bar construction is — how it differs from others — why 

 it differs — then this new catalog of ours, you will find 

 most satsfactory. It starts off with two pages of " Why 

 the U-Bar " followed by the thorough consideration of 

 twelve representative subjects showing 

 for each a plan, exterior and interior 

 views along with a brief, readable description. From 

 its pages you can form a somewhat definite idea of the 

 kind of house you want and get a line on what it will 

 grow. If you want to go into every detail of construc- 

 tion, there are some dozen or so pages of sections and 

 parts, which in connection with the "General Informa- 

 tion " will answer your queries. We want you to 

 know every U-Bar point — We want to send you this catalogue. Pierson
