The Charm of a Formal Garden 
is the charm of white stone among green lawns, trees and vines, in the form of sun dials, pergolas, 
fountains, steps, walks, seats and arbors. 
The formal gardens of Italy were adorned with carved marble. It is possible for you to 
reproduce the effects of such gardens at a small expense by using Atlas Cement Concrete, 
a mixture of fine sand with 
ATLAS CEMENT 
The one point you should never forget is that the success of concrete construction de- 
pends upon the quality of cement used. 
“Portland”’ does not mean quality. It is merely the name of a kind of cement. “Atlas” 
is the brand of Portland Cement that makes concrete construction successful. 
“Atlas” is the standard in Portland Cements. It is always pure, always uniform and is made 
in one grade only—the best—and the same for everybody. The United States Government 
has purchased 4,500,000 barrels of Atlas Portland Cement for the Panama Canal. To get 
the best results you must specify Atlas Portland Cement. Write for 
“Concrete Construction about the Home and on the Farm” (Free) 
“Concrete Country Residences” (25 cents) 
“Concrete Cottages” (Free) 
“Reinforced Concrete in Factory Construction” (10 cents) and others
