THE WONDER BUGGY 

 OF THE 20th CENTURY 



If you've never ridden in a COZY CAB you simply can't 

 imagine the comfort of this bus;gy that is instantly 

 adjustable to every need of every day's drive. In a 

 few seconds you can change it into a storm-proof buggy 

 without leaving your seat or exposing yourself. When 

 closed, it's so absolutely weather tight that not a drop 

 of moisture can leak through. Yet you aren't penned 

 in as you are by the storm curtains of the ordinary buggy. 

 In case of accident the door curtains can be opened quick 

 as a flash while you leap to safety from the low cut 

 box through the roomy door. If the winds blow chill 

 or the dust annoys, one side of the buggy can be quick- 

 ly closed. No matter what the condition of weather, 

 no matter how muddy the roads, it's always safe, 

 dry and comfortable inside the 



Cozy Cab 



There are no points of disadvantage to mar these 

 wonderful advantages. The COZY CAB is simply per- 

 fect — it's the neatest, handsomest buggy on the road 

 to-day. It's the lightest closed buggy made, the room- 

 iest buggy and the most serviceable. 



It's so unique, so unlike anything else, so complete in 

 its appointments of comfortdown to the smallest detail, 

 so infinitely superior to anything else of the kind, that 

 there's just one way you can appreciate it — that is, ride 

 in it. Ride in it day after day, fine days and bad days, 

 over rough roads and smooth, muddy and hilly, through 

 rain and snow, wind and storm. We want you to give 

 the COZY CAB a trial of this kind — want you to

to a great extent, and this injury manifests itself 

 Drincipally by the leaves turning yellow. 



If you have a rubber plant that has grown leggy 

 it can be made into many little ones. Propagation 

 by cuttings is easily accomplished, particularly 

 if bottom heat is available. Even without this 

 heat in the spring, the rubber cuttings will strike. 

 Make the cutting by taking it just under a joint. 

 Split the end for about half an inch. Stuff some 

 moss into the cut and then wrap a little ball of 

 moss around it. If placed in moist sand little 

 roots will be thrown out through the moss. The 

 cutting is then ready for potting in a thumb pot. 



Another way is to wrap moss about a joint 

 on the plant. Roots will also strike through 

 this moss if it is kept moist. Split a pot and tie 

 it, filled with moss, about a joint and the result 

 will be the same. Roots will form in the pot. 



An old stump that has lost about all its leaves 

 can have a new set put on it by "inarching" a 

 branch of another plant on to it. Stand it near 

 the plant that is to supply the cutting. Cut a 

 slice off the side of the stump at the place you want 

 the leaves. On the other plant make the same 

 kind of a cut. Bind the. two branches together 

 with tape, the cut places being placed together. 

 Keep the plants dry and in the light, and in the 



Inarching — putting 

 a new top on an old 

 stump 



The old stump two 

 weeks after separating 

 the plants 



course of a few weeks the two branches will have 

 united. The new top can then be cut from the 

 plant that supplied it. 



Again, take an old stump and cut the top wedge- 

 shaped, and on this set a cutting that has been so 

 cut as to receive the wedge. Have the cutting 

 and the old stump about the same size. Bind 

 them with electric tape and keep them dry. The 

 old stump can be further decorated by inserting 

 cuttings along the stem at different points in 

 practically the same manner. Once get the top 

 growing and the matter of decorating the stump 

 beneath will be easy. 



Do not repot your rubber plants too often. In- 

 stead of repotting, top dress them. Dig out the 

 earth without going into the roots too deeply and 

 replace what you take out with good soil. Pack 

 it in well and this treatment will answer better 

 than a repotting. It . will not check the plant 

 at all. 



However, if repotting is imperative, crack the 

 old pot and set the ball of the plant in a pot one 

 size larger. Then fill in with good garden loam. 

 Do not increase the size of the pot more than one 

 size. Be sure to give good drainage, putting 

 charcoal in the bottom of the pot. Put a little 

 moss over it before filling it with the soil, which 

 should be packed in hard. But don't be in a hurry 

 to repot; keep the plant pot-bound as long as 

 possible. And do not resort to stale meats and 

 oysters for fertilizing purposes. With the proper 

 kind of loam this will not be necessary.

They are made of Creosote ("the best wood pre- 

 servative known"), pure linseed oil, and the 



\ best pigments, and give soft, velvety coloring 

 effects (moss-greens, dark-browns, silver-grays, 



etc.), that look better and wear better than any 



others. 50 per cent cheaper than paint.

A house lined with Cabot's Sheathing Quilt will 

 be wind and frost proof. It will be warm in winter 

 and cool in summer. No heat can get out or no 

 cold get in, or vice versa. It is not a mere paper or 

 felt, but a thick matting, which retains the warmth 

 as a bird's plumage does. "It is cheaper to build 

 ■warm houses than to heat cold ones." m
