THE SWEETEST AND EARLIEST CORN 

 FOR THE HOME GARDEN 



No vegetable in the garden is so satisfactory as 

 sweet corn. The selection of the variety to be 

 planted is very important. Ordway's Golden 

 is unequaled for delicious flavor and productive- 

 ness, as thousands have testified. 



It is a light golden variety, and produces an 

 abundance of large, well-formed ears. Matures 

 in ten weeks. Plant at intervals to secure suc- 

 cession of crop. No matter how many other 

 varieties you have, make room for a few hills of 

 this variety, and nextyearyou will plant no other. 



Tested and selected seed from the original 

 stock sent post paid. 



Trial packet, enough for 35 hills, 10c. Half pint. 20c; 

 pint, 35c; quart, 65c. IScperear.

Plants from the Mountain Plateau 

 Retain Vigor in Plain and Valley 



Mother Nature develops her sturdiest children on the mountain plateaus, and they 

 carry the vigor of the hills with them when transplanted to the plains and valleys. 

 Experience has shown that trees, shrubs and plants grown in high elevations are 

 remarkably hardy and vigorous when transplanted to lower levels, growing year after 

 year in the new locations with scarcely diminished vigor. 



BILTMORE NURSERY 



Is located in the heart of the Southern Alleghenies, where the fertile soil, long season 

 of growth, and short, sharp winters give its product unequaled hardiness and vigor. 

 The plants, trees, shrubs and vines grown in this nursery have been widely purchased 

 by discriminating buyers who bear witness to their possession of quality. 



FLOWERING SHRUBS 



Our new book, "Flowering Trees and Shrubs," describes the best of these for the 

 planting of lawns, gardens and yards, with illustrations from photographs, many of 

 them of successful plantings. This practical, suggestive book is FREE on application. 

 Send for it today — see it before you buy plants and shrubs for the spring.

Build Beautiful Houses 



It is really cheaper to be beautiful than ugly. 

 Your reputation for taste depends mostly upon the 

 outside of your house. Most people never see the 

 inside. The soft, rich, velvety tones of 



Cabot's Shingle Stains 



make beautiful houses more beautiful, commonplace 

 houses attractive, and redeem ugly houses. They are 

 also cheap, easy to applv, and guaranteed fast colors ; 

 and they are made of Creosote, "the best wood-pre- 

 servative known."
