 This is the farmhouse of the Long Island R. R. 

 Agricultural Development Station, Medford, 

 Long Island, stained with 



Cabot's Creosote Stains 



and this is what the Director says about it: 



"Our farm homestead has a shingled roof 

 stained with your stain . . . moss green, 

 while the body of the house ... is 

 gray. This coloring has created no end of 

 favorable comment, and many have been 

 pleased to find it Cabot's Stain." 



— H. B. Fullerton, Director. 

 You can rely on Cabot's Stains. The colors are soft, rich 

 and beautiful, they wear as well as the best paint, and the 

 creosote thoroughly preserves the wood. 



You can get Cabot's Stains all over the country. Send for 

 stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

The Best Mowers for the Best Lawns 



m 



HEREVER you see fine lawn, or a velvet expanse 

 of park, it's more than likely that the owner uses 



COLDWELL 

 Horse and Hand Mowers 



The new Coldwell horse mower is equipped with demount- 

 able cutters — two or more with each machine. When one 

 cutter is dull send it to the shop to be sharpened, and slip in 

 the other. It's like changing the blades of a safety razor. 



The Coldwell "Imperial" is the standard of all hand mowers 

 — clean cutting, easy running. The Coldwell Combination 

 Roller and Motor Mower is best for large areas — used by the 

 U. S. Government and on golf links and parks everywhere. 



Write for catalogs and a useful 

 booklet on the care of lawns.
