The Power of Suggestion 

 Is Worth $ $ $ 



to every real estate agent and country home 

 owner who advertises in the October issue 

 of Country Life in America. 



October is going to be a special Country 

 Home Building issue, which will undoubt- 

 edly influence a number of Country Life in 

 America's enthusiastic readers to buy and 

 build. 



The price for the October number will be 

 increased as usual to Fifty Cents. Thou- 

 sands of extra copies will be sold to those 

 interested in building a home in the country. 

 Even though the circulation is considerably 

 increased, the rate for real estate advertise- 

 ments will remain the same — $7.00 per 

 column inch. You could not possibly put 

 your place before as many prospective buy- 

 ers at one-tenth of this cost. Send me the 

 facts about your place and I will be pleased 

 to write your advertisement. Last copy 

 must be in by September 9th.

A Live Fence Beautiful the Year Round 



The landscape craftsman who understands his art more and more is letting nature 

 build his fences. A live fence adds as much to the appearance of home grounds as a 

 frame adds to the beauty of a picture. 



UNTRIMMED HEDGES AN IDEAL FENCE ™™t h e &™&T&hi*g 0U l_ 



touch to the beauty of a lawn and garden. They will afford protection against many unwel- 

 come intruders, may be used to hide unsightly fences of wire and other material, and have " 

 much usefulness for edging trellises and beautifying walks and roads. 



THUNBERG'S BARBERRY (Berberis, T.). This handsome deciduous hedge plant re- 

 tains its beauty in winter, when the bare twigs are strung with a profusion 1 

 of bright coral-red berries. It grows thickly with masses of > 

 matted branches, fulfilling its purposes as a hedge in winter as 

 in summer— low and even, with horizontal branches. 

 Good plants, $5 per 100; extra nice, $10 per 100. 

 bend lor our booklet, " More Hedge Specialties." 

 It's free. There's a reason for the unusual vigo. 

 of the plants and the shrubs we sell— the soil 

 and location in which they are grown.
