HOOFING 



AMATITE Ready Roofing is water- 

 proofed with two layers of Coal 

 Tar Pitch, the greatest waterproofing 

 material know?i. Storms, heat and cold will 

 not injure it in any way. 



After Amatite is laid on your roof it 

 will protect you without any care or 

 attention. 



It also has a real ?nineral surface. This 

 mineral surface needs no painting of any 

 kind. 



Amatite is easy to lay ; no skilled labor 

 is required — you can do it yourself. Just 

 unroll the Amatite on the roof, lap one 

 layer over the next, cement it together and 

 nail down. That's all.

It Is Winter Outside, But Summer 

 Inside This Sunshine Shop 



Summer in every sense of the word ; sum- 

 mer temperature and summer flowers all 

 abloom. These blooms may mean to you 

 a garden full of roses or rows of sweet peas, 

 with the vines clambering to the very ridge. 

 Then again, to many the growing of old- 

 fashioned flowers is the first thought. 



If you have one of our Sunshine Shops 

 with the heating plant so arranged that you 

 have an absolute control of the tempera- 

 ture, then you can grow practically any- 

 thing you want to. 



Any of your gardener friends will tell you 

 that upon the RIGHT GREENHOUSE 

 much of the success of these winter gardens 

 depends. And that brings the question to 



our side of it — the building side. It is 

 enough to say here, that a greenhouse built 

 carpenter fashion is never satisfactory. 

 Neither are they any cheaper IN THE 

 END. 



Then we might add that the lighter the 

 house, the greater the quantity and better 

 the quality of your blooms. 



The TJ-Bar greenhouse, just because of 

 its extreme lightness, was called by an en- 

 thusiastic owner "The Sunshine Shop." 

 But there is not enough room here to ex- 

 plain just why our houses are the lightest — 

 most attractive — but in our catalog there 

 is, and we would like you to have one of 

 them.

MONOGRAMS 



on CHINA, SILVERWARE, HARNESS, CARRIAGES, AUTOMOBILES, Etc., Etc. 



not only afford protection, but also give to each article 

 a distinctiveness of its own. Monograms can be used to 

 real advantage in many other ways — on your stationery, 

 your books, etc. The most distinctive monograms are by 

 far the most attractive. My made - to - order monograms 

 are most distinctive because I specialize in this work.

BERCKMANS 



There are trees and plants especially 

 adapted to every locality. Some 

 kinds will not thrive in certain sec- 

 tions. You can save time and money 

 by knowing before you plant which 

 may be depended upon in your 

 vicinity. We can tell you from the 

 knowledge gained in fifty years' ex- 

 perience; with trees, plants and 

 shrubs. A few shrubs, a tree or two 

 and a collection of plants wonderfully 

 enhance the beauty of any property 

 and increase its value surprisingly. 



TREEStSHRUBS 



If you contemplate improving your 

 grounds, ask our Landscape Depart- 

 ment to help you: we will be 

 pleased to show you how much a 

 little money invested in Berckmans' 

 Trees and Shrubs will do toward 

 giving your home a beautiful 

 setting. 



At any rate, let us send our 

 handsomely illustrated Catalogue
