THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA.

THERE is a lot of "hrt p''-" about greenhouse con- 

 structions. Yes. a lot of it! 

 So anxious are the building concerns to be con- 

 sidered leaders in things new — that they are often lead 

 to take some little unimportant improvement to their 

 construction and exploit it as if it was going to revolu- 

 tionize the entire greenhouse building code. 



Only the other day I read an ad. of a concern who 

 made the astounding statement that they had made a 

 tremendous improvement in greenhouse construction 

 by abandoning for all times the clamp column fittings 

 and adopting a "bolted through" one. It was e.xploited 

 as a great discovery and something entirely new. As 

 a matter of fact it has been used by another concern 

 for at least thirty years. 



Talk all you will about various improvements in pri- 

 vate greenhouse construction, but when you get right 



down to brass tacks, there lias been no really important 

 development since the introduction of the U-Bar. No 

 one denies that. Ever since then (in spite of all the 

 stones thrown at it) all builders have promptly adopted 

 as far as possible U-Bar structural features. The curved 

 eave and 24-inch glass, just for example. But putting a 

 curved eave on a house does not make it a U-Bar 

 curved eave house. There is only one U-Bar curved 

 eave house, and that's the house made with the U-Bar. 

 Other curved eaves may look like it, but that's the only 

 way they are like it.
