How to Avoid 

 Burning Off Paint 



BE CAREFUL not to use imitation paints con- 

 taining substitutes for Pure While Lead — 

 barytes, silica, clay, etc. They will surely 

 crack, scale and check, and cost more to burn off 

 than to apply real paint. 



When you paint your buildings use Pure White 

 Lead, colored at the time of painting — it's the only 

 economical — the only right way to paint. 



CARTER 



Strictly Pure 



White Lead 



is the best of all white leads — the purest, the most 

 carefully, most scientifically made. The modern 

 Carter process eliminates every particle of discolor- 

 ation and impurity. Carter is several degrees 

 whiter than ordinary leads — makes brighter, truer, 

 more durable colors. 



Carter is as fine as the finest flour — it is 

 always uniform. This fineness makes Carter spread 

 farthei — just as a cup of flour will spread farther than 

 a cup of wheat. 



Carter never cracks or scales. It forms a tough, 

 durable and elastic film. Wears down gradually — 

 only years of wear will remove it. 



By the pound Carter costs slightly more than 

 other leads. Figured by surface covered and years of 

 wear, it is the most economical paint made. Sold by 

 all reliable dealers — used by good painters. 



Send for our valuable free book which tells how 

 to test paint for purity. How to choose a harmonious 

 color scheme. With the book we send a set of 

 modern color plates from real houses that will give 

 ideas for painting your home.

Qillett's Ferns and Flowers 



For Dark, Shady Places 



There is no corner so shady but that certain ferns and plants will thrive 

 there. There is no soil so light and sandy but that some of our hardy wild 

 ferns will beautify it. For 2.5 years we have been growing these hardy ferns 

 and flowers and know what Is suited to each condition. We can supply 

 fernsfor the dark corner by the porch, or ferns and flowers, includingour 

 native orchids, in quantity, to make beautiful country estates. Wet and 

 swampy spots, rocky hillsides, dry woods, each may be made beautiful by 

 plants especially adapted to them. Nothing adds greater charm to the 

 home grounds than clumps of thrifty ferns. We also grow the hardy 

 flowers which require open sunlight — primroses, campanulas, digitalis, 

 violets, etc. 



Write for my descriptive catalogue. It tells about this class of plants.
