feet wide and nearly three feet deep. 

 The sides and ends are of concrete, 

 stone-capped; the bottom is of natural 

 soil. The water is fed from a series of 

 pipes from the city main, that can be 

 turned on or off at will. There is no 

 overflow, the water naturally draining 

 from the bottom. There are 140 

 nymphaeas in the pool, comprising some 

 forty tender and hardy varieties, some 

 of them choice. They are all planted in 

 boxes and are just coming into bloom. 

 The sides of the sunken garden are 

 laid out in carefully planned flower 

 borders, chiefly of hardy perennials,

TUNLIN PAINT=We are BEST 



Our paint is especially adapted to g^reenhonses. 



The florists say we put the stuff in it. Anyway we pride ourselves on making 



a paint that will wear and withstand the exacting greenhouse conditions. 



The Moisture Will Not Get Under the Paint 



The cost of the paint is small compared with the cost of the labor for putting it 

 on; therefore why not use the best paint for the purpose, which several years' 

 experience with srreenhouses has proven to be Tunlin ? 



Dries hard — has considerable spread — easily applied — durable— cheapest — 

 BECAUSE it DOES the work. 



Present price, per single gallon, $2.30. 

 5 gallons or more, $2.20 per gallon.
