Art Ideal Two-House Lauout 
T O say a thing is ideal, is 
supposedly the last word 
of endorsement. And such 
is our reason for calling the 
general plan of this green¬ 
house an ideal one. 
It has attractiveness, prac¬ 
ticalness, and economy, all 
on its side. 
How much better it looks, 
for instance, than would one 
unbroken, long house of the 
same size. 
How much more accessible 
are each of the compartments 
from the work room; reduc¬ 
ing considerably the labor of 
working them. 
The heat has an even dis¬ 
tribution, which is also an 
economy. Of course, anyone 
could duplicate the layout; 
but no one but the U-Bar 
Company can build such a 
greenhouse, having a com¬ 
plete steel frame of IT-Bars. 
This construction may cost 
somewhat more than others; 
but you would expect that af¬ 
ter comparing it with the 
others, you would at once 
recognize its distinct differ¬ 
ence and appreciate why it is 
so lastingly durable, likewise 
the reasons for the superior 
growing conditions it makes 
possible. You would expect 
more and better flowers from 
it. You would not be disap¬ 
pointed. 
If you want the best there 
is in greenhouses — send for 
our catalog. Or send for us. 
Or both.
