The U-Bar Greenhouse — Its Fitting Fitness 
WHEN \ ou think of an inside 
garden, you naturally think of 
a place of extreme sunshiny 
lightness. 
A place where conditions are ideal 
for the making of a happy home for 
plants and flowers. 
Logically it should be so. 
To secure such a condition, de- 
mands a frame of extreme lightness 
and yet ample strength. 
Tliis is a requirement difficult to se- 
cure without compromise. 
The U-Bar, however, with its com- 
bined core of cypress and U-shaped 
enclosure of steel, gives a rafter and 
roof bar in one. The result is a struc- 
ture of cobwebby lightness; one of 
abundant strength and endurance. 
Every appointment, detail and finish 
is of the finest. 
It is a construction of fitting fitness.
