I T has always seemed to me that if I were to have an indoor garden, its logical 
location would be either attached directly to my home or as nearby as possible. 
During the time of year when one cannot go outside without “bundling up;” 
is just the time when a greenhouse garden gives the most pleasure. How al¬ 
together delightful then, to be able to put down our coffee cup and walk right 
out from our breakfast into the rose garden, and pick a bud for our button-hole 
or a cluster of the choicest blooms for the Better Half’s wearing to afternoon bridge. 
In the twenty-five years spent in this business of designing and building green¬ 
houses, I have had the opportunity of carrying out many successful greenhouses 
and residence link-ups. 
It has always been sort of a hobby with me. Should you decide to take the 
question up with our Company, I will, as its President, be happy of the oppor¬ 
tunity to give it my particular attention. 
There are several important reasons why the U-Bar greenhouse construction 
is especially suited to greenhouses and conservatories linked to the residence. 
But these are matters we can take up in detail with you later. 
In the meantime, let us hear from you.
