Hardy Ferns and Flowers 

 for Dark Shady Places 



NO corner is so shady but that certain hardy ferns and 

 flowers will thrive there. There is no soil so light 

 and sandy but that some of these plants will beautify it. 

 For 25 years we have been growing these hardy ferns and 

 Bowers and know something of the conditions necessary 

 to their growth. Have you a shady nook, a bit of wood- 

 land path, a brook or swampy spot, or a rocky hillside 

 you *vish to re-establish and grace with ferns and flowers 

 and rhododendrons and so bring out the natural charms? 

 Do you wish the little wooded path bordered with bright 

 hepaticas, bloodroots, trilliums, wood-violets and dainty 

 vet hardy ferns; or the low marshy place brightened with 

 brilliant lobelias, yellow marsh-marigolds and bright blue 

 gentians? We are in a position to help you, and shall be 

 glad to send our descriptive catalogue which may aid you 

 in selecting. Pictures of some of these wild wood plants 

 have been taken by us here and are shown by half-tones 

 in the catalogue, including the clump shown in this ad of 

 Aspidium Goldianum and Asplenium Angustifolium.

How to 



Keep Dirt 



Out of 



Milk 



To Have Pure Milk to 



Drink You Must MILK 



it Pure 



Nearly all the dirt in milk gets 

 in at milking: time. You can't 

 "strain" out the impurity 

 when the milk softens the dirt 

 and it " trickles " into the pail. The 



Sterilac Milk Pail 



Keeps Milk Pure and Sweet 



All dust, hair, and filth that fall from the udder are caught 

 by the "dirt shelf." Only absolutely pure milk, just as drawn 

 from the cow, goes into the pail. The only sanitary milk pail 

 that ever proved a real success in every way and received the 

 approval of all cow owners. Easy to wash — just right for 

 pouring- and handling milk. If vour dealer cannot supply 

 you We Will Send Pail Prepaid on Ten Days' Trial Free. After trial 

 send us the money or the pail. Price $2.50.
