What color scheme shall I use 

 to paint, decorate and furnish 

 my new home ? 



THIS is a question which we can help 

 you solve, if you will simply accept the 

 service of our Decorative Department. 

 This service is absolutely free of cost 

 and is intended to acquaint you with the many 

 artistic effects obtainable by means of Sherwin- 

 Williams decorative materials. At the same 

 time it places you under no obligation to pur- 

 chase them. 



To begin with, we will send you several 

 color suggestions for the exterior painting of 

 the building. These suggestions consist of color 

 diagrams and colored proofs in perspective. 

 Then we will send you an elevation sketch of 

 each and every room in your home, together 

 with complete specifications and even sugges- 

 tions for curtains, rugs, portieres, etc., if you 

 desire them. 



It is only necessary to send us an outline of 

 the conditions surrounding your painting and 

 decorating. Such information as the kind of 

 wood used on standing woodwork and floors, 

 the material used on walls, interior and ex- 

 terior, etc. , is of assistance to us in working 

 up our suggestions. Blue prints or rough pen- 

 cil sketch of ground plan should also be sent. 

 We will prepare these suggestions for a single 

 room or for the entire house. 



Our decorators have designed an ideal 

 house plan portfolio entitled An Ideal Plan of 

 Home Decoration," — sent free of cost. This 

 portfolio consists of twelve beautiful color 

 plates (two exterior views and one showing 

 each room in the house) together with a book 

 of specifications and full information about 

 our Decorative Department. Ask for B-73. 



"Stencils and Stencil 

 Materials" is the title 

 of a little book which 

 tells how to decorate 

 with s tenc il s. It is 

 sent free.

Qilletf 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 aud sandy butthat some of our hardy wild 

 ferns will beautify it. For 25 years we have been growing these hardy ferns 

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

 ferns for l he dark corner bythe porch, orferns and flowers, including our 

 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.
