THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



IF you were to choost- hetween a clean cut neatly sharpened lead 

 pencil and a blunt raggedy one, llicrc isn't a bit of doubt which 

 :^ ij i-_ ^fi. -_- :. -,„]ij.^ ^(j ^ greenhouse which is a splendid 



ictioTi like the l'-I!ar; in comparison witli 

 of nihcr constructions, you should very 

 U-I'ar. I!ut some of you don't — not 

 of three reasons. Here are the reasons; 

 cave liouses are just as light." liul are 

 ii" believe that a house with wooden roof 

 eni at the eavt 

 'use tliat combines roof bar and raf 

 combination isn't any larger than 1 

 roof bar used in other constructions? If such a thing is true, tl: 

 two pounds don't weight any more than one pound. 



2. You sav that ''other constructions which cost less will last j 

 as long." Well. now. will they? Isn't it reasonable to think thai 

 roof bar. that is first steeped in a chemical preservative and tli 

 encased in a galvanized steel r-llnr. so that absolutely none of it 

 exposed to the interior dL■•^t^^K•^;vf c-'nilitiini^ of varying moisture ;i 



you were to choo 

 pencil and a blunt 

 it would be. Whe 

 bit of light clean ( 

 the blunt heavy ci 

 naturally always select thi 

 always. You don't because 

 1. You sav. -'Other curve 

 they? Can 'you make vourr 

 bars, flat iron rafters and 

 compare in lightness with .i 



i-i]f If they won't— then water isn't wet. and fire doesn't burn. 

 "Sou say the UlJar house "costs too much." Uut does it? Don't 

 expect to pay more for a six-cylinder automobile than for onlv a 

 cylinder one? Isn't il only logical thai a house with a complete 

 of galvanized aluminum coated steel should cost more than one 

 od and steel that is only i)ainted? Not only should it cost 

 ))ut be worih a good hit more than il costs. 



■■e. tiien. are the three main reasons — and their answers. 1£ you 

 11 in an argumentative mood we would welcome the opportunity 

 ly the discussion stdl further. Not that we are scouting about 

 for an argument"; but wt- know that if vou only 

 about the U-I^ar construction — no amountof clever
