WKTTT PLASTER 

 Oi\t.lVUl .BOARDS 



For every kind of building — residences, factories, 

 office building's, apartments, hotels, theatres. In 

 fact, in any structure where plastering- is required 

 these tire and sound resisting, time and labor sav- 

 ing Plaster Boards should be used. 



Ordinary lath and plaster takes weeks to dry 

 and delays construction. With Sackett Plaster 

 Boards, drying has been done in advance in our 

 factory instead of on your walls. A light, quickly 

 diied finishing of plaster completes the construc- 

 tion. Our method costs no more, and is durable 

 and clean. Send for free sample.

Home Study Courses 



EVERYONE interested in farm- 

 ing or gardening, everyone who 

 owns or who expects to own a 

 suburban or a country home, should 

 know about the 



Home Study 



Courses in 



Agriculture 



Horticulture 



Landscape 



Gardening 



ana 



Floriculture 



which we offer under Prof. Wm. P. 

 Brooks, of the Massachusetts Agricul- 

 tural College, and Prof. John Craig, 

 of Cornell University. 



There is money, and pleasure, too, 

 in farming and gardening, in the grow- 

 ing of fruit and of flowers, for those 

 who understand the ways how and 

 the reasons why of modern agri- 

 culture. A knowledge of landscape gardening is indispensable to those who would 

 have the pleasantest homes. 



Our courses afford the best possible substitute for the courses offered by the 

 resident colleges. Our system brings the college to the student. Our students are 

 free to proceed with the lessons as rapidly or as slowly as they please and to ask 

 for special assistance or advice whenever they have occasion to do so. 



Every reader of cv4merican Homes and Gardens is invited to send for a 

 free copy of our eighty-page catalogue and full information in regard to our home 

 study courses.
