HODGSONKI 



\\ 7HEN you build the Hodgson way, a cottage, bun- 

 yy galow, play house or garage is the work of experts. 

 Hodgson Portable Houses are designed by men 

 with the requirements of such building at their finger tips; 

 the sections are constucted by carpenters far above the 

 average in skill and experience; they require no technical 

 knowledge to set up. Every corner and every piece fits 

 snug and tight — proof against rain and wind. 



You can tell from the catalogue how a Hodgson House 

 will look, down to the rose-trellis or the tight little win- 

 dow box — and remember that it is bound to be right. 

 There is no chance for a slip-up in the building due to 

 indefinite plans or bungling workmen. 



Hodgson Houses mean any sort of House — cheery little bird 

 houses, sturdy kennels and poultry houses, one to ten room cottages, 

 churches and barracks.

 — will be expressed in your garden, if you 

 spend an hour at Mayfaif choosing the 

 varieties you wish to have next Spring. 



The Flowers Wait For You 



and I will gladly tell you when to come. If 

 you are too far away, my Blue Book is the

 cannot come, my Blue Book will go to you.

RAIN'S ONLY RIVAL" 



As gentle as spring rains and as refreshing, Brooks Sprinkling System is always at 

 the beck and call of friends of pretty lawns. The turn of a valve turns drouth into 

 refreshing moisture, gives the lawn that velvety emerald hue we all greatly admire. 



Special Sprinklers, set level with the ground, are connected with a special system of 

 underground pipes which, from the turn of one valve assure uniform pressure and feed- 

 ing of sprays spreading 24 feet. 



The automatic nozzles are perfection in themselves. When at work, inner parts 

 rise automatically. When not in use, they disappear and become harmless disks 

 beneath the grass. 



Perfect drainage makes Brooks System frostproof. Perfect installation by our own 

 plumbing department does not mar the prettiest lawns. You who are fond of lawn 

 comforts and beauty owe it to yourself to investigate the merits of the Brooks System 

 TO-DAY. Please send for free booklet. Plans and estimates furnished without charge.
