The distinguishing points of a U-Bar House 

 are the curved eaves, wide glass spaci7ig 

 and aluminum paint interior finish. 



Can the Greenhouse 

 Be Placed Near the Dwelling ? 



T

^is cut doesn't show much 

 of the greenhouse, but the 

 "glimpse you do get looking up 

 the drive certainly is most at- 

 tractive, and argues well for 

 the lightness of construction 

 and wonderful grace of the curved eaves 

 of a U-Bar house. The owner is a flower 

 enthusiast. He believes that his winter 

 garden, under glass, is quite as important 

 as the outdoor garden. A winter garden 

 to be readily accessible in all kinds of 

 weather must needs be placed as close to 

 your dwelling as possible without being 

 shaded by it. Until lately greenhouses 

 haven't been constructed in a way that 

 would admit of such a close placing and 

 be at all ornamental to your grounds. 

 But this U-Bar greenhouse construction 

 is such a light, bubble-like affair, that it 

 can be placed, as in this case, right across 

 the drive, adding greatly to the real 

 beauty of your grounds, besides being 

 unusually bright and cheery inside. Send 

 for the new catalog ; it will make you 

 thoroughly acquainted with the green- 

 house question, and be a deal of help in 

 deciding just the house best suited 

 to your requirements and ground space.

Multiplying Tulip Bulbs 



nHHE wasteful way of the parks is to 

 *- throw away the bulbs of early or 

 bedding tulips which bloom during April 

 in the North, but the Public Grounds Depart- 

 ment of Boston are saving hundreds of dollars 

 by simply keeping the offsets and growing 

 them in a nursery bed for two or three years. 



According to Mr. Luke J. Doogue, the 

 larger offsets shown in the accompanying 

 picture will give first-class flowers next 



The largest of these are blooming bulbs 



spring. The others will do likewise after 

 being cultivated for two or three years. 



We do not recommend this method to the 

 general public because our people are too 

 impatient and the bulbs are too cheap, but 

 it is perfectly practical for amateurs who like 

 to propagate their own plants and who can 

 follow such experiences for several years.

Chicken Wire for Peas 



THE neatest and usually the cheapest way 

 of training garden peas is to grow them 

 on chicken wire, but it is a question if they 

 do as well as on wood. Some people think 

 that the wires become too hot on very sunny 

 days for the good of the plants. 



The costliest item in connection with 

 gardening is the labor, and you will be 

 appalled if you figure out how much it will 

 cost you if you have a man to cut pea brush.
