If Your Greenhouse Location Problem 
Is Difficult, Put It Up To Us 
T happens that we have been par- 
ticularly successful in working out 
J__ location problems, where it has 
seemed next to impossible to build 
a greenhouse, save at an almost prohibi- 
tive cost. In such instances, we have 
found satisfactory solutions, both from 
the side of attractiveness and that of 
practicalness. 
This one is in a rapidly sloping loca- 
tion, which condition has been turned to 
distinct advantage by utilizing the 
space beneath, as a work and storage 
room; which need would otherwise 
have required a special building. The 
house itself is constructed of U-Bars, 
giving to it that light, bubble-like result 
which means so much to you, in both 
the quality and quantity of blooms pro- 
duced. 
Other houses may at passing glimpse, 
look like the U-Bar, but that's the only 
way they are like it. No other house 
is constructed with U-Bars or has the 
U-Bar constructed curve eave. It is 
a construction as indestructible as it is 
of proven highest producing efficiency. 
Look into the U-Bar. Send for cat- 
alog. Or send for us. Or both.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 
The following new roses have been regis- 
tered with the American Rose Society : 
By Frank L. Moore, Chatham, N. J., 
Muriel Moore. The flower is white : when 
in bud it is a bluish white. The bud is 
longer than that of My Maryland and not 
quite so double. The foliage is distinctly 
different, the leaflets having a rich green 
color ; are narrower and have edges more 
finely serrated ; in fact, the edges are al- 
most smooth. It is a profuse bloomer. 
By Howard & Smith, Los Angeles, Cal., 
Los Angeles. Color flame pink shaded to 
yellow, toned with salmon. Foliage light 
green, extra heavy. Buds long and pointed 
opening to a bloom of large proportion. A 
cross between Madame Segond Weber and 
Lyon Rose. Growth exceedingly vigorous ; 
has none of the die-back habits of Lyon 
Rose. 
The Hartford Rose Test Garden Com- 
mittee has made the following report : 
The committee appointed to judge the 
new rose entries visited the Hart- 
quest of plant specimens and seeds, a 
pa time in which he had been passionately 
interested from childhood. 
After his discharge in 1864 he went to 
work in the nurseries of Hovey & Co., at 
Cambridge, where the patient, devoted young 
student found ample opportunity for the in- 
dulgence of his enthusiasm and indomitable 
energy in the realm of botanical classifica- 
tion, geographical distribution, propagation 
and cultivation of plants. His introduction 
to the public came through his recognition 
of the Scotch heather which had been grow- 
ing wild in Massachusetts and his making 
the fact known to the world. 
In 1S71 Mr. Dawson was offered a posi- 
tion ' under Francis Farkman of the school 
of horticulture of the Bussey Institution. 
Then, after two years, Professor Charles S. 
Sargent took the place of Mr. Farkman. and

The regular meeting was held August 1 
at the establishment of R. S. Cary, South

average and practically the whole time was 
devoted to the reading and discussion of
