Garden Necessities That Repay You 



BUSHES, plants, vines must have some kind of support and protection in 

 order that they may grow most luxuriously. The best for the purpose, 

 the one that combines beauty in itself as well as proper construction for 

 endurance, is always the cheapest in the end. 



Trellises and bed guards repay many times over in plants, blossoms and 

 foliage. The Excelsior Rust Proof Trellis on the end of the porch shown here 

 not only supports the vines, but is ornamental as well. The bed guards are of 

 the same make — same construction and materials. These

Catalogue on application 



Trellises and Bed Guards 



are made of heavy, tough, springy steel wires, 

 which are held at every intersection in the 

 viselike grip of the Excelsior Steel Clamp, a 

 patented feature. AFTER making, the whole 

 fabric is galvanized by the Excelsior Process, 

 that not only makes it rust proof, but thor- 

 oughly and completely solders it into 

 one rigid mass. 



These trellises won't buckle, 

 droop or sag. Winds and shock 

 have no effect on them. They can 

 be taken down and used over, and 

 will last for years. 



To insure getting full value for your 

 money, ask your hardware dealer for these 

 products. We also make Excelsior fences, 

 tennis fences, tree guards, gates, and similar 

 garden necessities. We will cheerfully send
