Greenhouses 



IN rummaging around in Grandmother's garret did you 

 , ever come across an old, old umbrella having heavy 

 reed bows — or frame, instead of the light steel ones now 

 used? 



That reed-framed umbrella might well be taken as a com- 

 parison for greenhouses built in the usual way. The light, 

 strong, all-steel framed umbrella corresponds to the U-Bar 

 construction with its entire frame-w^ork of galvanized steel 

 U-Bars. 



No other greenhouse is so constructed. A frame of steel 

 roof-bars is true only of the U-Bar construction. 

 This frame gives the advantages of: — 

 Greater lightness — which means better plants easier grown. 

 More blooms. Repairs, practically nil. 



Orf>^ 



Greenhouses so constructed have a graceful, clean-cut 



beauty of line unattainable with other constructions. 



U-Bar houses have curved eaves. But don't think that 



every curved eavo house is a U-Bar house. It may look like 



the U-Bar curved eave, but that's the only way it is like it. 



The only UBar .croenhouso builder is the Pierson U-Bar 



Company. 



One owner in his enthusiasm, called his U-Uar house "A 



bubble of glass" — another "the house with the cob-webby 



frame." 



Naturally U-Bar greenhouses cost a bit more than others, 



and are worth more. 



Investigate. Send for catalog. Or send for us. Or both.
