Handsome Roses 



During Driest and 



Hottest S^ASon 



From one of our ctntomers, Mr. Henry 

 8. Jefleries, of Ottawa, Kansas, we have 

 the followlni;: 



"Daring June, July and Septem- 

 ber we only had about four inches 

 of rainfall, and the heat was Intense 

 most of the time. Kven under such 

 adverse conditions we were able, 

 with the use of the Skinner System, 

 to keep our plants growing and.pro- 

 duce thousands of handsome roses. 

 We furnished flowers right along 

 during the hottest and driest part 

 of the season."

Our Non-sticking Ridge Sash. 



T*HE pendulum has swung back 

 * again and the mania for long 

 runs of ventilating sash, operated 

 from one gear, is past. 



To obviate the rubbing and often 

 sticking of the sash, where the runs 

 meet, we are recommending skip- 

 ping a light of glass, making a 

 complete separation. 



Some claim it also has an advan- 

 tage in securing better ventilation, 

 as the break gives a chance for the 

 air to enter more freely. This may 

 be only a notion, or a fact; wlrk;h- 

 evcr it is, the growers who ak^ 

 their sash this \\'ay are highly 

 pleased. 



This may seem like a small thing 

 to devote an entire ad to; but every 

 well built big house is made up of 

 a lot of small things.

Our president is always harping 

 that "if we look carefully after the 

 small things, the big things will 

 almost take care of themselves." 



Likely enough, his training us 

 all that way has a lot to do with 

 the iiDished perfection of the 

 houses we build. 



It, no doubt, has much to do with 

 the reason we have put up house 

 after house for such men as Thomas 

 Young, of Bound Brook, N. J., and 

 L. B. Coddington, of Murray Hill, 

 N. J., who have reputations for 

 exacting exact exactness. 



If you are the exacting kind, we 

 are exactly the concern who can 

 satisfactorily meet them. 



You know we go anywhere for 

 business. Or to talk business.
