Think What Your 

 Wagons, Tools, 

 Etc., Are Worth 



You can then see how necessary it is to preserve their 

 value. Good farm implements will stand a great deal 

 of wear; if they don't stand as much of it as they ought 

 to, the manufacturer will usually make good. 



But no farm implements will stand 

 continued exposure to weather with- 

 out a protecting coat of good paint; 

 and there is no one to make good loss 

 by rot and rust but the farmer himself. 

 Preserve your wagons and tools, 

 maintain their value, by keeping them 

 painted with Pure 'White Lead and 

 Linseed Oil. Pure White Lead and 

 Oil is the best paint for wagons and 

 farm implements because it gives a firm, protective coat, and does not flake or scale off. 

 Pure White Lead is such a good paint pigment that it needs no other pigment 

 with it. Every other pigment .is admitted to need white lead before it has any value 

 at all as a paint. Buy your white lead and oil separately, and mix them as you need 

 them. It is the only way to be sure of purity. 



The Dutch Boy trademark shown here is the hall-mark that identifies Pure White 

 Lead made by the old Dutch Process. Look for it on the side of the keg.

SPECIALISTS IN THE TRUEST SENSE 



We Grow Peonies 

 —Nothing Else 



NOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT 



We do not present an endless list of varieties to confuse and 

 perplex customers. Many of the best sorts are practically 

 identical — so nearly alike that only an expert can distinguish 

 the difference. We offer only the choicest and best, and the 

 most distinct of the many hundred varieties in cultivation. 



If you are interested, letus mail you our handsome NEW 

 fall catalog — just ready. It's a " catalog that's different," and 

 we have a word to say to you therein about the advantages in 

 purchasing Peonies from specialist growers. The book is 

 artistic, and, we think you'll agree, worth having.
