For Your Friend Who 

 Loves a Garden 



Innumerable love gardens, old and new, 

 live for those who love them in the pages 

 of Lena May McCauley's delightful book, 



The Joy of Gardens 



Illustrated with many exquisitely colored 

 photographs of the fair gardens described, 

 this book is also quite a guide to those who 

 are bent upon the development of their 

 own garden. 



".Miss McCauley loves flowers and gar- 

 dens, and it is safe to say that by this, at 

 once her floral creed and justification, she 

 will make many another garden devotee."

The Hammock That's Made to Last 



When you buy a bed hammock for your veranda this summer, 

 be sure it is sightly and comfortable, but above all be sure that it is 

 made to last. Cheap imitations soon look dilapidated and unat- 

 tractive, because they lack the material and skill in making so 

 necessary to service and lasting comfort. 



Rowe Gloucester Bed Hammock is made by skilled sailmakers 

 who are trained to sew canvas sails strong and true for every wind that 

 sweeps the Atlantic. It is made of duck weighing not less than 21 

 ounces to tbe square yard, reinforced at every point of strain — others 

 uie 16-oz.. 12-oz. and even 8-oz. duck single thickness. 



Rowe's Hammocks have consistently given ten years of contin- 

 uous outdoor service. We have never had one returned to us as un- 

 satisFactory. They are firm, strong, comfortable. They present essen- 

 tial advantages of which other makers have not even learned the need. 

 Write for catalog and name of dealer nearest you. If you are not 

 so located as to deal conveniently with the dealer, we will supply 

 you direct. Before you buy a hammock, be sure to see ours or send 

 for illustrated book and prices.

Let this Wonderful New Rose Cover Your 

 Pergola or Veranda 



There is nothing more beautiful. Think of it — your pergola or veranda 

 covered with a mass of large American Beauty Roses. Not the ordinary 

 climber, but real American Beauty Roses — big, gorgeous, deep-red blooms 

 measuring three to four inches in diameter. Fragrance most exquisite. 

 Beauty unsurpassed. Hardiness that withstands severe winters. Such 

 are our 



Climbing American Beauty Roses 



We originated them. They result from a cross between a hardy unknown seedling 

 and the most beautiful and fragrant of American Beauty Roses. Produce twenty 

 times as many blooms in June as the old American Beauty. 

 Blossom frequently throughout the growing season. 

 Their large, glossy green leaves remain on the bush until 

 snow flies. Can also be grown as a pillar or hedge rose. 

 A limited number of excellent one-year plants will be 

 sent, carefully packed, postpaid, for $1.00 each. 



Our Landscape Department 



For the improvement of country estates and suburban homes is thor- 

 oughly equipped and in charge of a competent designer. Our trees, 

 shrubs and vines are unequalled. Water-color sketches and planting 

 plans carefully prepared and estimates furnished. Write us if you 

 wish to consult our representative when next in your vicinity.

 check and crooked rows, and in rows of irregular width. Never leaves open furrows 

 next to plants. Cultivates crops up to 5 feet high and covers 2 furrows of manure, 

 potatoes or seed at one passage. Designed by a practical farmer; fullv guaranteed.
