F there is one thing more than 



I another that will make a 

 greenhouse cost too much, it's 

 a jumbled together plan. 

 Such a plan costs too much, for 

 three well defined reasons. 

 First: It multiplies the erection 

 costs because of its complications 

 and uncontrollable construction 

 difBculties. 



Second: It makes the heating 

 both expensive to install and 

 costly to operate. 



Third: It makes working the 

 houses unhandy, difficult, requiring more help. 

 In attempting to get "something different"; or "some- 

 tliing original"; gardeners and superintendents are fre- 

 quently led into inducing their employers to adopt badly 

 jumbled plans. 



If you could sit right down in this chair by my desk and 

 look over w^ith me the plans of the houses both large and 

 small erected by this company for the past five years, 

 you would be tremendously impressed by their absolute 

 practicalness and striking simplicity. 

 Simplicity and practicalness liave always been noticeable 

 characteristics of U-Bar worl<. 



This is so, even when it comes 

 to big schemes like the St. Louis 

 Botanical Gardens costing hun- 

 dreds of thousands of dollars. 

 Take this plan shown of a range 

 at Pittsburgh — see how perfectly 

 balanced it is. How downright 

 practical. 



As president of this company, I 

 am a crank on first having the 

 plan right. Furthennore. I 

 shall continue to be a crank. 

 Associated with our company is 

 an architect of enviable reputa- 

 tion, wlio coiuniiiius knowledge and experience in 

 securing to tJie building itself, those choice touches 

 here and there that are so distinguishable a feature of 

 T7-Bar houses. 



Our representatives are not only thorougldy grounded in 

 greenhouse matters, but also are technically familiar 

 with flowers and shrubs, so that when desired they will 

 gladly be of assistance to you in giving the greenhouse 

 a setting worthy of a TJ-Bar house. 

 Yes U-Bar houses cost more — but they are worth all they 

 cost — and more. 

 Send for catalog — or send for us — or both.
