HOUSE AND GARDEN

ANUARY, I 9 I 3 
N EARBY was a choice little garden spot, charmingly 
reflective of Italy. Adjoining it, this sun splashed 
slope of green, punctuated here and there by fine 
old trees. 
Along one side wandered a walk of stepping stones, 
enticing you to the garden of hardy flowers. 
Now where would you place a greenhouse? 
’Twere unforgivable to encroach on all this with even 
so attractive a greenhouse as a U-Bar. 
So on the edge of the hardy garden we placed it, mak¬ 
ing a cellar underneath for mushrooms. 
The result is a simple dignified little house in per 
feet harmony with its environs. 
We tell you all this, thinking perhaps you are one of 
the ones who want a U-Bar greenhouse, but have put off 
sending to us, because of being in a quandary about 
locating it. 
We can promptly help you settle that. 
If your problem is a particularly difficult one, our 
landscape architect will give you the benefit of his 
suggestions. 
So you see by the combining of our landscape archi¬ 
tect’s skill with our knowledge as greenhouse designers 
and builders, there is no doubt about your getting both a 
practical and attractive result. 
Send for our catalog—or send for us—or both.

Are Birds 
Welcome? 
The houses I build for soug- 
sters win them—they come back 
every year and I always have 
plenty of bird guests. It took 
me several years to get these 
houses just right for the birds, 
particular little fellows. 
Three of my designs won such favor that I decided 
to sell the houses to those who want bird neighbors.
