 HOUSES 



WHEN you decide to build a small house of any 

 kind you invite trouble, dirt and expense to 

 your door. It starts with the deciphering of numer- 

 ous, complicated blueprints. Then follows dust, 

 dirt, racket and extra expenses. And when the 

 building is finished a ruined lawn and maybe dis- 

 appointment stare you in the face. 



Side-step all this trouble. Buy a Hodgson Port- 

 able House. Select your bungalow, cottage, 

 garage, playhouse, or any other kind of house from 

 actual photographs shown in the Hodgson catalogue. 



Then your house will be shipped to you in neatly 

 finished, fitted, painted sections. Unskilled work- 

 men can erect it in a day and you have the exact 

 house you selected and at the very same price. 



Send for a catalogue to-day.

GLADIOLI 



Don't worry about the proper pronunci- 

 ation — call them "Glads." and there will 

 be no question in your mind as to their 

 being rightly named. 



Plant them in May; hoe them a little 

 during the Summer. When they bloom, 

 the wide range of color and form will de- 

 light the most fastidious taste. 



Some, the children properly call "Butter- 

 fly." Some have the delicacy and indes- 

 cribable coloring of the opal or the Iris. 

 Some are gorgeously brilliant; most are 

 gay, and some that are demure and 

 modest are still beautiful. 



Our modest catalogue carefully describes by color chart methods 150 

 of the choicest varieties found either in America or Europe including 

 many rare and unusual varieties that are obtainable from us only.

TJAVE you a vision of your 

 * * lawn — unfulfilled — as you 

 look out of your window ? 

 Have you a picture that makes 

 you say, "If only my grounds 

 looked like that!" Send us 

 the picture, or tell us as best 

 you can of the ideal lawn you 

 have been dreaming of — and 

 see if we can't give you a 

 pleasant surprise with a plan 

 and estimate that will bring 

 your dream immediately with- 

 in your reach. We have made 

 so many dreams come true 

 for big homes and little homes, 

 big incomes and little incomes 

 — at a cost way below what 

 was expected, and in a mira- 

 culously short time — that we 

 boldly invite you to bring your 

 most fairy-like visions of lawn 

 and garden to us — and see if 

 we can't help you. And when 



we do help you, it will mean from that moment on a new joy in living — a new comfort and shade 

 and beauty and health and profit from country life such as you have never even dreamt of before. 

 Sit down to-day and write us all about your lawn and garden — what it is, and what you want it 

 to be. Then see what happens (no, you involve yourself in no charge whatever until you delib- 

 erately order your trees, shrubs, flowers, fruit-trees — whatever it may be). Write to-day!
