JAMES GOOD, Original Maker, 
For All Kinds of Houses 
from bungalows and camps to suburban residences 
and country mansions, the deep, rich colors of 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
are most beautiful and appropriate for the shingles, siding or 
timbers. The colors are clear and transparent and bring out 
the beauty of the grain of the wood instead of covering it as 
paint does. They cost only half as much as paint, can be put 
on twice as fast, the colors are lasting, and the Creosote “is the 
best wood preservative known.” 
You can get Cabot’s Stains all over the country. Send 
for stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

Some Spencers Supreme 
Portable’ | 
Gone SPENCER, the original giant- 
; flowered pink, is possibly the best known 
Sweet Pea in the entire list. Since its advent 
in 1904, its popularity has steadily increased 
until it is the standard deep rose pink in nearly 
every part of the floral world. 
The greatest blush pink is undoubtedly El- 
frida Pierson, a huge flower that frequently 
comes double. This variety is listed by many 
seedsmen as one of the best six Spencers. 
Margaret Atlee, an immense rosy salmon on 
a cream ground, is one of the greatest novel- 
ties of recent introduction. 
Thomas Stevenson, a bright orange scarlet 
that is almost universally admired, seems to 
act better under the hot sun than most others. 
The blossoms seldom scald even though it is too 
dry for other varieties to bloom. 
In the salmons, Stirling Stent is invariably a 
favorite. It is influenced by the weather less 
A new 
than any other variety of its class. 
For large and brilliant blooms, be sure to grow the 
Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas 
salmon cerise that has attracted much atten- 
tion at flower shows during the past season is 
Illuminator. This is easily one of the brightest 
Sweet Peas. 
At present the best crimson is King Hdward. 
Vermillion Brilliant, a scarlet Spencer of a 
beautiful form, remains the best in its color. 
On account of its intense brightness, this is a 
very telling variety for use in a bouquet. A 
new scarlet, Fiery Cross, will be offered in 1916, 
and it is predicted that it will become a great 
favorite. Othello, an attractive maroon, is 
distinctly the best dark Sweet Pea. ; 
Asta Ohn, a very charming lavender, pro- - 
duces beautifully waved flowers of good size. 
The new blue, Wedgwood, seems to be dis- 
placing the old variety, Flora Norton. Ber- 
trand. Deal, the pretty rose lilac, is unexcelled 
for cutting. 
The best purple is as its name, Royal Purple, 
signifies, a rich royal purple. Afterglow is the 
daintiest of the new fancies. It is really diffi- 
cult to describe—the standards are bright blue, 
shading to a rosy amethyst; wings, electric 
blue. This Sweet Pea. when cut makes a most 
glorious bunch of color and fragrance. 
‘The last word in whites, according to ex- 
perts, is King White, the pure and elistening 
white that the enthusiasts have been wild over 
during the past summer. It is truly a perfect 
Sweet Pea in every detail, and must eventually 
find a place in every collection. 
Sherman, Miss. BurorD REID.
