June, The Month to 

 Visit Our Nursery. 



OUR four acres of Rhododendrons in their 

 glory of color will be in bloom. New 

 shrubs with which you should be acquainted, 

 will be at their height. The Hardy Flowers 

 such as Iris, Columbine and numerous others 

 will be decked in garbs of yellow, blue, pink 

 and white. To see such a_ sight is both a 

 treat and an eduratioc. It gives you a chance 

 to compare plantings and see heights and 

 colors. It's nature's own catalog free from 

 long listings and inadequate descriptions. 



While here, you can select some evergreens 

 for August or September planting and pick 

 out shade trees for October Big or little — 

 we have them. 



Run down in your auto — we are on the 

 direct road to the Meadowbrook Hunt Club 

 where the International Polo Matches will be 

 played during June. 



Our Booklet and catalog you 

 are always welcome to.

General Office and Works: 

 AURORA, ILL. 



Chicago Office: First National Bank Bldg. 



JUST the thing for tomatoes, sweet peas, cosmos, golden 

 glow, vines, roses, and all sorts of purposes where a 

 portable plant support is necessary. 



Made in four heights. Posts are galvanized steel angles, 

 sharpened at one end, and with clamp holes for rails, spaced 

 every four inches. Rails are of best cypress and are firmly 

 secured to the posts by a special binding clamp that is as easy 

 to apply as it is easy to remove. Can be erected quicker than 

 you can drive wood stakes and stretch strings. 



Take down in the Fall and store away in a small space. No 

 reason why it shouldn't last a lifetime. Its cost is decidedly 

 reasonable and varies with height of post and number of rails.

J-M Asbestos Stucco 



Residence of Mr. J. S. Slehlin, Long Beach, L. I . Covered 



with J-M Asbcslos Stucco. Kirby, Pettit & Green, 



Architects, New York 



J-M Asbestos Stucco is composed of pure, 

 ground asbestos fibrous rock. The sharp 

 granules of rock and the mass of short as- 

 bestos fibres produce a weather-proof, fire- 

 proof and practically indestructible exterior 

 covering. 



J-M Asbestos Stucco combines toughness with 

 solidity. It will not chip or crumble. Water or the 

 most severe weather conditions do not affect it . Water 

 will not damage it, even if applied when it is heated ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ mmmm ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

 by flames from adjacent buildings. 



It dries with a pleasing gray-white effect and does not tarnish or discolor with age. 



The covering capacity of J-M Asbestos Stucco is greater than that of any other exterior plaster 

 or stucco. Weighs considerably less than ordinary cement mortar. Its lightness facilitates the ap- 

 plication and often saves as high as 15 per cent, in labor. 



Furnished in white and various shades of gray and buff in prepared form.
