HOUSE AND GARDEN

T HE two main facts are: you don’t 
need a large greenhouse, and it’s 
the most economical way to grow 
fruit under glass. 
The house in which this little orchard 
is growing, is only 5 ° feet long and 25 feet 
wide. 
The trees will bear fruit like this for 
many years. 
They stand from five to eight feet high, 
and are planted in twelve to fourteen-inch 
pots. 
In January, the trees are brought in the 
house, in a dormant condition, when artifi¬ 
cial heat is applied to start them into 
growth. 
In May, cherries will be ripe, and from 
then until August, you will have peaches, 
apples, plums, pears and nectarines. Not 
bushels of ordinary fruit, but all you want 
of the finest fruit, having a rich, meaty, 
highly flavored quality, utterly impossible 
with outdoor grown. 
California fruits, even when ripe picked, 
are not to be compared. 
In August, the trees are taken out, and 
the space can be used until January, for 
Chrysanthemums, Vegetables, Bulbs and 
numerous other short crops. 
A U-Bar constructed greenhouse has 
distinct advantages over any other kind of 
orchard, flower or vegetable house. 
Before making any purchase decision, it 
would be decidedly to your advantage to 
first know well the U-Bar advantages. 
We will send you a catalog, or come and 
talk it over with you. 
Which shall it be?
