Perhaps you 

 have been thinking 



about having a greenhouse — one 

 that would give you not only- 

 flowers and fresh vegetables all the 

 year round, but a pleasant pastime 

 as well — a pastime that brings you 

 double satisfaction by also adding 

 to the pleasure of those about you. 

 A greenhouse is a scientific 

 affair, not a mere house of glass. To 

 grow plants successfully, economi- 

 cally, your house must be con- 

 structed to meet every need of 

 plant life. 



U-Bar Greenhouses 



are the Best Greenhouses Built 



because they are constructed to 

 meet all these requirements. No 

 other form of construction gives to 

 the plants as much light — none are 

 so durable — none so adaptable, or 

 conform so pleasingly with any 

 surrounding. The U-Bar is a pat- 

 ented construction. Before build- 

 ing know about the U-Bar.

GLADIOLI for 

 the GARDEN 



If you want a garden of rich colors 

 and a variety of exquisite shades 

 you should plant Groff's Hybrid 

 Gladioli. There is no flower of 

 such easy culture, embracing the 

 great range of color with endless 

 combinations and varieties, as these 

 Hybrid Gladioli. The graceful 

 stalks with their burst of gorgeous 

 coloring make the garden a veritable 

 fairy land. Every shade or combi- 

 nation of shade can be produced. 

 I am the United States representa- 

 tive and grower of Groff's Hybrids. 

 Awarded the Grand Prize, World's 

 Fair, St. Louis, 1904.

THE 



"Apollo" Sweeper 



is an ideal time and labor-saving machine for the care of 



Lawns, Golf-greens, Porches, Walks, Barn=floors; 



etc. It takes the place of broom and shovel, sweeping and gathering all in 

 one operation. The sweepings are carried into the box attached, (see cut.) 

 doing away with the need of basket or cart for collecting the sweepings. 



Beautiful Lawns 



are produced by the use of the "APOLLO" sweeper, because instead of 

 injuring the grass or tearing it up as a rake does, the action of the fibre 

 bristles promotes the growth of the turf, makes the grass thick and pro- 

 duces a rich, green, "velvety" appearance, instead of a dull gray or brown 

 ad grass, leaves, twigs, manure, dirt, etc. If your dealer cannot supply you, write 



color. It removes every particle of cut and 



us and we will send a sweeper on 10 Days Approval. Booklet Free,
