ANY house- 

 owners put off 

 badly needed painting 

 last spring because of 

 the rainy weather in 

 April and May. If you 

 have done so, paint this fall. It 

 was wise not to paint in the 

 wet weather but don't put it 

 off longer. 



Fall is an excellent painting 

 season. 



The atmosphere is clear and 

 bright and free from moisture. 

 Insects are not prevalent. 

 Surfaces are dry — in short, 

 every condition favorable to 

 good painting is found in 

 the fall. 



When you paint, specify 



'Dutch Boy Painter" 

 White Lead 



and have the painter mix it 

 fresh with pure linseed oil at 

 the time of painting. Then 

 the right paint is assured — 

 paint which penetrates the 

 surface and dries with a tough, 

 elastic, durable film. 



We have prepared our "Dutch 

 Boy Paint Adviser No. 95" for 

 property owners who want authori- 

 tative lielp on painting. Free to all 

 who write for it.

Cold Frames Will Extend Your 

 Garden Up to Thanksgiving 



FLOWERS or vegetables, it matters not 

 which, can be transplanted from your garden 

 to the frames and protected from the frost ; 

 or by planting seeds directly in the frames now, 

 you can grow an assortment of flowers that later 

 on can be transplanted to pots so when November 

 comes you will have fine plants all ready to 

 bloom when brought in your living room. 



Another thing you can do with frames is to 

 set them right over the plants as they are now 

 growing in your garden, and, when frost threatens, 

 simply put on the sash. If the plants are the 

 tall kinds, you can make the frames deep enough 

 by nailing together a rough, temporary frame 

 of lo or 12 inches wide 

 boards, and then set our 

 frames and sash on top. 



Asters, Sweet Sultan, Core-' 

 opsis and such can in this 

 way be kept blooming for a 

 full monih after a killing 

 frost. There is a lot of 

 satisfaction in saving your 

 garden in these ways, espe- 

 cially as it can be done with 

 so little trouble and expendi- 

 ture. 



Take one of our three-sash 

 Junior Frames for instance ; 



Order some of these Melon Frames also. You 

 will find them handy things to set over plants 

 anywhere on your groands ; fall or spring. 



they cost only |5ii.oo complete, sash and all, and 

 they are so well made that they will last for 

 years to come. 



The sash are 34 inches wide by 38^^ inches 

 long, which is just a convenient size to be easily 

 handled even by the " gentler sex." In truth, 

 these Juniors were made more especially for 

 their use. 



As we told you in a grandfatherly way last 

 month ; buy your frames now and, besides 

 getting immediate use out of them, you will have 

 them all ready for next spring. If it should 

 be as late as this year's was, the six weeks 

 start they will give your garden would be very 

 much to the point. 



Yes, and there is another 

 thing we almost forgot — an 

 important one too — if you 

 are a chicken enthusiast, plant 

 a six sash " Senior " frame 

 with Swiss Chard, and it will 

 give you " green stuff " for 

 100 chickens through the 

 winter. It means more eggs. 

 Send at once for our Two 

 P's booklet, which gives you 

 abundant information. Any- 

 thing it doesn't tell, we 

 gladly will.
