SWEET PEAS AND SOMETHING ABOUT 

 GROWING THEM IN A GREENHOUSE 



N this age of electric buttons 

 and subways we are apt to 

 get the idea that everything 

 can be done in a snap-shot 

 way, but with Nature, although 

 u-bar y OU can hurry her along a good 

 deal, she resents too much hus- 

 tling and simply refuses to act. What we 

 had in mind more particularly was, sweet 

 peas grown in a greenhouse and the neces- 

 sity of building your house in time this year 

 so you could get your sweet peas started in 

 time for next fall. Can there be anything 

 more beautiful or delightful in their fragrance 

 than a vase of sweet peas picked for your 

 table, two or three times a week, all through 

 the winter months? The reason we selected 

 sweet peas from all the choice things so suc- 

 cessfully grown in greenhouses, is because 

 we just visited this house where they 



are growing so abundantly. This little 

 sketch shows the kind of box the gardener 

 has rigged up for growing them. It is easy 

 to handle, while the frame, strung for the 

 vines, does away with the unsightly brush or 

 net wiring. He plants them in his U-Bar house 

 during August, the first picking was for 

 Thanksgiving, and each year he has picked 

 right through to Easter. We don't know of 

 another such record with an ordinary house. 

 Just another one of the proofs of the won- 

 derful growing powers of U-Bar greenhouses 

 — wonderful because they are so light, so 

 near like an actual outdoors condition. 



U-Bar houses are built so entirely different 

 from other greenhouses that we have tried to 

 tell this difference for you in an interesting 

 way in our new book catalog. This catalog 

 we want you to have.
