just why the fact that

Purchase Your Peonies from Peony Specialists 
We ve got letters from people in Maine and in California—and most of the States between—speaking in the 
highest possible terms of the kind of stock we send out. 
For example, one gentleman in Tennessee writes: 
*““T must say that your roots are the largest I have ever received from any dealer for 
year-old plants. I have some from another party that yours would make two of them.’ 
) 
Remember we offer only the cream—the choicest and best, and the most distinct—of the many hundred 
varieties of Peonies in cultivation. Remember also that fall is the only time to plant. Most growers will 
ship in the spring too—if you insist. We do not—for your own sake. 
May we have your name and address?

Alabastine will give you an even, velvety surface which reflects the light instead 
of absorbing it, thus making your rooms brighter and more cheerful. Best results are 
obtained where the paper can be removed, for then Alabastine becomes a part of the wall. 
Alabastine is made from pure Alabaster rock, powdered. Simply mixed with cold water 
and applied with a flat brush, it adheres to the wall by its own cementing powers. 
You can do the work yourself, or employ an experienced decorator,

FOR AUTUMN PLANTING 
Set out hardy plants early in the autumn—they will 
get started before winter and do finely for you next 
summer. 
Lilies, Tulips, Hyacinths, Daffodils and many other 
varieties for fall planting are described in Horsford’s 
Autumn Supplement. Write early for free copy. 
Home Grown Lilies 
Most of the lily bulbs sold in this country are from 
stores, having been dug, dried, and roots removed be- 
fore shipping from Europe or Japan, which reduces 
vitality. Fresh bulbs right from the beds they have 
been grown in, with roots and firm outside scales, give 
better results first year. 
Horsford’s Autumn Supplement enables you to. get 
your bulbs all planted long before the imported bulbs 
are in, Tulips, Daffodils, Crocuses, &c., give better re- 
turns when planted early in the North than with late 
planting. They have timeto make their root growth 
before cold weather. Orders filled from fresh bulbs 
as long as stocks last. Send for free Supplement.

Where the old wall-paper is solid on the wall, charming and beautiful 
results can be secured by applying Alabastine directly over it, particu- ¢ 
larly on ingrain paper and even striped paper, providing there are no 
strong aniline colors or raised figures. 
Send a 2c U.S. 
stamp for sam- 
ples of Alabastine 
tints, and a fold- 
er giving valuable 
decorations.
