THE HOW AND WHY OF SHADE 

 TREES AND EVERGREENS 



Why should you plant shade trees or evergreens 

 about your new house — or the old one? 



How do they benefit you? Where do you get the 

 promised protection — and the cash returns? 



We answer these questions in our new book. // 

 tells just how much shade trees, evergreens, shrubs 

 and flowers benefit you, and how they do it. 



It also tells what kinds of trees to select and how to 

 arrange your planting, and fully describes all the best 

 trees for use about homes. 



Robert S. Conklin, head of the forestry 

 Department of Pennsylvania, says this about 

 "The How and Why of Shade Tree- and 

 Evergreens:" "We are frequently in receipt 

 of requests from people desiring information 

 on this subject and I think your little book 

 will answer all their questions."

scores of useful 



and uniquely beautiful 



things for Christmas Giving 



at the mere cost of a few thin 



boards of Cypress, "the wood eternal," 



and "a little pleasant labor lovingly done."

WHY 

 NOT 



MAKE HIM A "SUGP CYPRESS BOX? 



— to keep his cigars in {let him call it a humidor if he wants to.) 

 Or, on the other hand, why should not YOU put in a little time and a little easy and interesting 

 work and make HER a royal serving tray of Sugi Cypress — that will add real distinction to your 

 dining-room and delight her more than any conventional gift 

 of greater cost. Anyhow, the first thing to do is to 



Get the NEW CYPRESS "SUGI" BOOK: 



•■The Most Usable Free book Ever Printed For Folks Like You and Us." 



It tells not only how you can reproduce perfectly the rare and coveted Antique Japanese Driftwood 

 effects by scorching and brushing off a piece of ' 'just ordinary lumber' ' (working in your own kitchen or 

 cellar) but also why Cypress, owing to its peculiar properties is the only wood the Sugi treatment will 

 work on — aside from the fact that no other American wood offers similarly ornate natural grain. 



The SUGI process IS NOT "PYROGRAPHY" nor anything like it. 

 You do no designing or tracing or coloring — simply bring cut the natural beauty and distinction of the wood. 

 The book also lists numberless suggestions as to What to Make— from a glove box to panelling for the library.

The Only Real Stains 



Don't judge shingle-staining by the crude and tawdry colors 

 made by cheap builders and painters, which are nothing but 

 coarse paints thinned with kerosene or some other inflam- 

 mable cheapener. They give you no idea of the beautiful, 

 velvety coloring effects of 



Cabot's Creosote Stains 



Cabots colors are soft, transparent — bringing out the natural 

 beauty of the wood — and lasting. Creosote is "the best wood 

 preservative known," and reduces inflammability. Result— 

 the most artistic and economical colorings for shingles, siding, 

 and other exterior woodwork. 



You can get Cabot's Stains all over the Country. Send 



for samples of stained wood and name of nearest agent.
