in the stock of Biltmore Nursery. It re- 
quires a 196 page catalog to describe 
and illustrate Ale offerings. The Bilt-

CAREY’S 
FLEXIBLE CEMENT 
ROOFING 
The best city and country structures in America—North, South, East 
and West, are covered with Carey’s One Standard Roofing. Being better, 
Carey’s may cost a trifle more than other composition roofings, but it is just 
as easily laid as any other and it stays laid, often outlasting the building itself. 
Carey’s Roofing is made of highest standard materials, all of our own 
manufacture—best woolen felt, highly tempered asphalt and fire-resisting 
cement. The Carey patent lap covers and protects nail heads. Carey’s 
Roofing is equally adapted to flat or steep surfaces and may be laid over 
leaky shingles, metal or composition roofs. 
For your own protection you should write us direct 
before buying any roofing. We will tell you where and 
how to get Carey’s.
