WHAT KIND 



OF A GREENHOUSE 



DO YOU WANT? 



Are you in just the mood to place it in 

 your local carpenter's hands and let him 

 put up an old time hot house that "will 

 not only be constructed so heavily as 

 to shade and retard the growth of your 

 plants, but be an endless annoyance in 

 breakage of glass and repairs of con- 

 densation soaked joints? Or do you 

 think it worth while to go to up-to-date 

 greenhouse builders who make that their 

 sole business and who can guarantee 

 to you a house with the highest growing 

 conditions ; one free from structural 

 glass breakage, and constructed with the 

 U-Bar framing, insuring its durability? 

 If you do, then we want to point out to 

 you the added advantages of the U-Bar 

 curved eaves — the wide spacing of glass 

 and something about aluminum paint 

 for its interior finish. The catalog will 

 introduce the subject, and we want to 

 follow it up by talking it over directly 

 with you at your home or, if preferable, 

 come to our office and either Mr. Pierson 

 or Mr. de Forest will be there to consider 

 the subject with you.
