TT/fe^ght Painter 

 White Houses 



WHEN architecture or surroundings 

 dictate a white exterior, it is un- 

 wise to seek individuality by any 

 scheme of harmonizing or contrasting 

 colors. The charm of many homes lies is the 

 simplicity and good taste of a white exterior 

 in pleasing contrast with grass and foliage. 

 When white is your choice you would 

 not allow your painter to tint it with black 

 or blue or yellow, and you should not per- 

 mit any white paint to be used which 

 already has a tinge of foreign color. Often 

 paint that, by itself, seems white, will be 

 found several shades darker when com- 

 pared side by side with a clear, pure white. 



CARTER 



The White 



White Lead 



is guaranteed strictly pure, and has all the 

 good qualities that have made white lead 

 the most widely used white pigment. But 

 more than this, it is so white that it has 

 established a new standard of whiteness 

 for white paint, given new beauty to deli- 

 cate tints and added life and brilliancy to 

 colors mixed with it. 



For use as white paint it is thinned 

 with pure linseed oil. To produce any 

 shade or tint desired, tinting colors are 

 added. It is always mixed fresh to your 

 order by the painter, exactly to suit the 

 surface to be painted. In either white or 

 colors, pure Carter White. Lead and linseed 

 oilpaintgives the maximum of service at the 

 minimum of cost, and never cracks or scales. 



If you have any painting that should be done this 

 Spring, write now for "PurePaint," a brief text- 

 book on houae painting, with six harmonious color 

 schemes for modern houses. Free on request. 



If white paint is likely to be used, let us send 

 you a sample tube of Carter with which you may 

 compare Carter with any other paint you might . 

 consider using. Also free.

Dean Hole, a cream salmon, is a fine big rose and 

 robust, but the buds will putty up under moisture. 

 J. B. Clarke, deep scarlet, General MacArthur, 

 bright scarlet and Lady Battersea, a cherry, are 

 good reds. Thus the list might be extended, but 

 these are about my "bests" of the newer roses I 

 have grown.

The Hardiest Roses 



DURING the past twenty-one years a large 

 number of rose varieties have been tested out 

 at the Central Experimental Farm, and the follow- 

 ing list of the hardiest roses in Ottawa is taken

 Culture in Canada," by W. T. Macoun, which 

 has recently been issued by the Department of 

 Agriculture of the Dominion Experimental Farms. 

 The asterisk (*) marks those varieties that are 

 not now generally obtainable in the nurseries:

Sunlight for Roses 



OF EQUAL importance with the character and 

 preparation of the soil in outdoor rose culture 

 is the exposure of the plants. Give them always, 

 where practicable, full sunlight and free air circula- 

 tion. Few wild roses grow well in shady and 

 confined situations — our native species are per- 

 haps most tractable in this respect — and the 

 highly developed garden varieties we all desire 

 to grow, descendants for the most part of sun 

 loving Asiatic species, fairly demand free and open 

 situations, and show their inability t6 endure the 

 overshadowing companionship of other plants by 

 languishing or succumbing to mildew and other 

 well-known pests. 



In planning the rose bed, or border, place it at 

 least where it will receive the benefits of the early
