Beautify and Protect 

 Your Grounds 



THIS picture shows the 

 simplicity, sturdiness and 

 good appearance of the Excel- 

 sior Rust Proof Fence. Gives 

 protection to the lawn, shrub- 

 bery, flowers, etc., yet permits 

 complete view from any point. 



CELSIOR 



RUST PROOF 



FENCE 



is made of heavy wires, dip- 

 galvanized AFTER making. 

 Wires are held firmly at every 

 intersection by our patented 

 steel clamps. The heavy coat- 

 ing of pure zinc makes the 

 whole fence rust proof and 

 exceedingly long wearing.

The Magic of a Summer Garden 



Is Wrought with Hardy Plants 



HARDY perennials, which live happily and improve from year to year, give 

 a distinct value to the garden from spring to fall. These old plants are 

 most admired when the Peonies and Delphiniums and Irises bring forth their 

 splendid colors and tints. Even on a small place there is room for these 

 "care-free flowers." 



If you are to have an established garden next year, plant large clumps, worth- 

 while stock, this fall — next spring will be too late.
