Does Shads ! 



Compare these three window shades ar.d you 

 will undcrs'and why Brenlin is the greatest 

 advance in house furnishings today. 



Holland shades wrinkle, let in a "glare" and 

 don't s-hade because they haven't "body" 

 enough. 



Opaque shades "crack" because they are filled 

 with chalk, and as the shades are handled this 

 filling breaks. 



Brenlin is made -without filling of any kind 

 and has a natural body that m.ikes it h ng 

 straight and smooth. It -won't -wrinkle; won f 

 crack; -won't fade. 



And Bren in gives just the light you want. 

 It is made in all colors; in cream, ecru, ivory- 

 white, etc., it softens the light to a delightful, 

 mellow glow. With the dark colors, green, 

 etc., you can shut it out entirely. 



With Brenlin "Duplex" (dark one side, light 

 the other) a room may be completely darkened, 

 and yet a uniform color be maintained outside. 

 "Duplex" is the ideal shade for bedrooms. 



Leading dealers hive Brenlin in all colors. 

 Any dealer can easily get it for you. But

There is no corner so shady but that certain ferns and plants will thrive 

 there. '1 here i.i no soils.) light and sandy but that some of our hardy wild 

 ferns will Leaulify it. For 2-5 ) Cars we hjve been growing thtse haidy ferns 

 and llosvers and know what is suited to each condition. We can supply 

 fer.isfor the dark corner by lhe porch, or ferns and flowers, iucludingour 

 native orchids, it quantity, to make beiuiiful country estates. Wet and 

 swampy spins, rocky hillsides, dry woods, each may be made beautiful by 

 plants'espeeially adapted to them. Nuih : n« adds greater charm to the 

 home grounds th:m clumps of thrifty ferns. We al«o grow the hardy 

 flowers which require open sunlight — primroses, campanulas, digitalis, 

 violets, etc,
