Spring is a dangerous time for furs, for that is when moths, 

 dampness and dust are at their worst. Protect your clothing in a 



Piedmont Cedar Chest 



No need to use "moth-balls" or "camphor trunks." 



The Piedmont Cedar Chest gives as absolute protection from 

 the ravages of moths and all injurious insects, as would cold storage, 

 which nearly equals in a year the price of a chest. Lasts a lifetime 

 and keeps articles sweet, clean, fresh and ready for immediate use. 



The Piedmont, with its delicious, enduring cedar odor, is 

 both dust and mo h proof. Made in several sizes, of fra- 

 grant Southern Red Cedar, fitted with handsome trimmings. 

 An Ideal Wedding or Birthday Gift 



You run no risk. If not perfectly sat- 

 isfied with the chest return it in five days 

 at our expense and get your money back. 



They are shipped direct from factory 

 to your home, freight prepaid.

A Perennial for Late Summer 

 Flowers 



HpHE turtle head (Chelone Lyoni) is one 

 of the best of hardy border plants. It 

 forms in one season, a handsome, com- 

 pact-growing plant, three to four feet high, 

 with bright attractive foliage, which is 

 crowned with close-growing spikes of deep 

 rose-purple flowers resembling a turtle's 

 head. It continues in bloom for several 

 weeks during August and September. 



A more common form is the white turtle's 

 head {Chelone glabra) . It has a more slender 

 growth, and does not possess that compact, 

 symmetrical habit of C. Lyoni. 



The red turtle head ( Chelone Lyoni ) flowers during 

 August and September in a moist shady placel 



Some growers give a very heavy mulching of 

 manure during the summer months, and, as 

 the plants are very gross feeders, this is no 

 doubt beneficial, but I have always success- 

 fully grown turtle heads without it. They will 

 sometimes grow in an open, exposed posi- 

 tion, but their leaves are generally burned, 

 and their blooming qualities greatly reduced. 

 Turtle heads grow very readily on all soils 

 where moisture and partial shade are given. 



The blooming period may be extended 

 one month, and their height reduced nearly 

 one half by cutting back in the spring. 



The plant may be increased by division 

 in the spring (March to May). Each small 

 piece of the crown that can be taken off with 

 a root attached will make a flowering plant 

 by October. Seeds may be sown as soon as 

 they are ripe in late summer.
