" Intensive Market-Gardening 

 Means Intensive Fertilizing" 



It is intensive market gardening tliat pays largest profits. 

 If you want to make each plot of ground yield its utmost, 



I advise you to use Harab 

 Fertilizers.

There's a NEpqnsET Roofing 

 for Every Building 



Paroid Roofing 



GET Neponset Roofings — the "slowly made" 

 kind. Then you are sure to get roofings that 

 are slow to wear out. Then you'll never get a 

 poor roofing when you need a good one. 



Neponset Roofings are long on the roof — because long "in the making. " 

 This means more than you think. It means thi-: Maximum protection to 

 your home — your stock — and your pocket-book. Protection against leakj 

 — repairs — and that greatest danger of all — fire. Remarkable "year-in-and- 

 year-out' ' protection — in cold or hot climates — at a minimum cost— this is 

 the "blanket protection" slowly made Neponset Roofings invariably give. 



There's a slowly made Neponset Roofing for every purpose. Neponset 

 Paroid is the great roofing for fine farm buildings. 



Other Neponset Roofings are — Neponset Shingles for residences; Neponset _ 

 Proslate, the coJored roofing.
