HE e.s.sence of all [jlant growth i 

 light: the more light, the quicker 

 and more abundant the plant growth. 

 For years greenhouse builders have 

 been striving for lighter houses, 

 realizing that all other things being 



equal, the houses admitting the 



greatest amount of light, gave correspondingly greater 

 returns, whether it be of flowers, fruits or vegetables. 

 It is not so long ago when all greenhouses were con- 

 structed with heavy wooden sash bars, rafters and supports, 

 and were glazed with narrow glass eight to ten inches wide. 

 \'anous improvements were made from time to time, which 



^ 



gradually led 

 trotluction of 

 form of the 

 iron frame 

 in which are 

 ters, purlins, 

 and other 

 members, 

 are capped 

 prevent ex- 



up to the in- 

 the present 

 wood capped 

 construction , 

 used iron raf 

 gutters, sills 

 structural 

 some of which 

 with wood to 



pansion and 



contraction of the iron frame; the wooden sash bars still 

 being retained but made smaller and spaced to receive 



glass sixteen inches wide. 



This construction while a great improvement still left 

 many things desired in the way of lightness, durability, 

 attractiveness and cost of maintenance. 

 To more fully meet these exacting reejuirements, the U-Bar 

 form of construction was conceived, the result being that the 

 U-Bar house is as far in advance of the best type of the wood 

 capped iron frame houses, as it was of its predecessors.
