The Florists^ Review

IF you want to prove the U-Bar whys up point by point, come and see 

 our exhibition at the NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. We will have a 

 full-grown house right there in a garden plot. You can make com- 

 parisons with other constructions right then and there. There will be 

 some one of us always on hand to give you the glad welcome. 



If you can't come, then read what follows, carefully. Look at the 

 wheels of a bicycle — see what slender little, wire-like spokes they have — 

 yet what strong, sturdy wheels they are. Surely no one would think of 

 going back to the clumsy, old wooden-spoked wheel. 



By the same token, did you ever stop to think how like the bicycle 

 wheel U-Bar greenhouses are? 



No heavy wooden roof bars or large iron framing members — but in 

 their place a complete, all steel frame of U-Bar as light and strong in pro- 

 portion as are the bicycle spokes. 



The cypress core bar is steeped in a chemical preservative before it is 

 placed in the U-Bar. 



The galvanized steel U-Bar completely protects the core bar from the 

 inside moisture of the house. 



The drip does not drip. It follows down the bottom of the U-Bar to 

 the purlin lead-ofifs, or to the cast iron sill. No drip grooves to get 

 stopped up. 



Then there's the curved eave — everybody knows the U-Bar curved 

 eave was the original curved eave. It is admitted to be the mott practi- 

 cal and attractive of all the curved eaves. 



No reinforcements of the curved parts of the U-Bar are needed — no 

 heavy iron members to break the view from the inside looking out, or 

 show a heavy line from the outside, looking in. 



There's only one U-Bar curved eave and that's the eave made with 

 the U-Bar. 



Others may look like it, but that's the only way they are like it. 

 We tell you these things as a matter of protection to yourself. If you want 

 the finest greenhouse Eold today for private estates, public institutions or 

 florists' show houses — you want the U-Bar. See to it that you get it.
