EXCELSIOR "rust-proof" WIRE FENCE 



A HEDGE is all right as far as it goes — but it rarely goes far 

 enough — particularly when you wish to keep out intruders; and 

 remember it takes years to grow a hedge. 



EXCELSIOR Rust Proof Wire Fence gives absolute protection, 

 immediately, and does not detract from the beauty of the landscape. 

 It is made in many styles for many purposes. 



EXCELSIOR Rust proof Fence is all that its name implies. It 

 requires no paint, and will outlast the posts. The first cost of Ex- 

 celsior is only a little more than ordinary wire fencing, and its life is 

 twice as long. 



ORDER through any hardware dealer, after you have sent to us for 

 an illustrated catalog telling more about Rust Proof fencing.

You Have Just Time 

 To Get Gladioli 



Not a minute for delay if you 

 want your Gladioli to do their best 

 this summer. Bulbs ordered now 

 will reach you in ample time for 

 planting, but there is little margin. 

 Gladioli should go in just as soon 

 as ground and season are fit. This 

 means that you must have your 

 bulbs on hand. Order now — today 

 — and you will have them. I am 

 aware that a lot of people don't yet 

 know what modern Gladioli are. I 

 want them to know — want them 

 to get acquainted. Here is an 

 unequalled offer: 



A Summer's Delight 

 for SO Cents 



Ten named bulbs taken from my 

 select list, made up of the best only 

 of 15,000 varieties. The bulbs are 

 large, sound and sure to produce a 

 profusion of bloom. Try this collection. It is a bargain in the 

 truest sense of the word. Send me fifty cents today and I will 

 send you postpaid this collection of Ten Named Gladioli.
