HOUSE AND GARDEN 
October, 1913 
pMiE idea is unique; the application prac¬ 
tical ; the result attractive. It is a happy 
" combination which unites gardener’s cot¬ 
tage and gate-house, as one. 
The greenhouse in this instance is 24 feet 
wide and divided into three compartments. 
, The side entrance obviates the necessity 
^ of going through the workroom to see 
the flowers and fruits revelling in the 
S BBk light and sunshine so freely admitted 
by the bubble-like U-Bar construction. 
A complete galvanized aluminum 
finished steel frame have U-Bar con-i 
structed greenhouses. < 
It is the only house so constructed. 
It costs more. It is worth more, 
because the houses grow more and 
better fruits, vegetables and flowers. 
Their upkeep is less. 
If these advantages appeal to you, 
send for our catalog; or send for one 
of our representatives; or both.
