NEW BEDFORD (MASS,) SHOW. 



The annual eln'vsanthemnm cNliibition of 

 the New Bedford Horticultural Society held 

 November !) and 10 was a most iiutewortliy 

 event, for never before has tliis city seen 

 such marvels of beauty ;ind even tlie ama- 

 teur was nuicli in evidence owing tn the 

 open fall. 



Conijietitiun was very close between i). F. 

 Roy, sperintendent of the Converse place, 

 and A. E, Griilin. superintendent of tlie 

 Oalen Stone estate. All classes were closely 

 contested, Roy winning three cups and Grif- 

 fin carrying away two trophies. The class- 

 for 18 blooms was so close that ilecision 

 seemed almost impossible until one llower 

 in the Stone e.\hibit that was a little too 

 far advanced was discovered; Mr. i!oy won. 



Henry S. Walsh, of Kingston, exhiliiteil 

 some tine s|iecimen blooms, some as line as 

 any in the hall, and won live firsts out ol 

 seven entries. 



The class calling fur :i grunp of chry 

 santhemnms arranged f(n' elicit ;ilw:iys al- 

 lows for a display of taste, and the person 

 arranging the Converse exhibit certainly 

 showed an artistic tem|ieranient. .Minus of 

 all kinds, culurs. shajies and size^; inter 

 mingled with |)alms. ferns, dracenas and the 

 like, standing six feet high in the rear and 

 sloping to the floor, created a gorgeous 

 sight anil well deserved the recognition 

 given.

The Cost 

 Of U-Bar Greenhouses 



HEY cost somewhat 

 more than other con-^ 

 I^T^ structions, because they 

 cost more to construct. 

 They cost more to con- 

 struct, because they are of 

 superior construction, 



A Pierce-Arrow auto costs 

 more than an Overland, Both 

 are good cars. But no one 

 questions which is actually the 

 best car. The U-Bar house, if 

 you want to put it that way, 

 in the Pierce-Arrow class. 



There are a lot of people 

 who always want the best 

 there is, and are always willing 

 to pay for it. For such the 

 U-Bar house exactly meets 

 their requirements as no other 

 house can. 



If you want us to send our 

 catalog to your employer, we 

 will be glad to follow your 

 suggestions. Of course you 

 are also welcome to one. If 

 you want to see us — say so — 

 we will drop around.
