 A water supply. You can 

 have all the convenien- 

 ces, comforts and pro- 

 tection of the best city 

 water works system. 

 You can have an 

 abundant supply of 

 water delivered 

 any point desired 

 —the bathroom, 

 kitchen, laundry, 

 lawn, garden, 

 barn — any- 

 where. 



This service will 

 be yours if you 

 install the 



Kewanee 

 tern of 



The 

 Kewanee 

 System does away 

 with old fashioned 

 methods. No elevated 

 or attic tank to leak, 

 freeze, over-flow or 

 collapse. Instead, a 

 Kewanee Pneumatic Tank is 

 placed in the cellar or buried 

 in the ground. It is protected 

 from all extremes in temperature 

 and will last as long as the house 

 stands and give economical and 

 efficient service every year. 



The Kewanee System of Water 



Supply is not an imitation, is not a 



substitute— it is the original water 



system, involving the use of air pressure 



instead of gravity pressure. Avoid 



cheap imitations. 



Over 8,000 Kewanee Systems in 



successful operation, supplying water for 



residences, schools, hospitals, asylums, clubs, 



apartment buildings and even small towns. 



Let us show you what we can do for you. 

 Let our engineers solve your water supply 

 problem — no charge for specifications and 

 estimates.

 everything. If you want information on the subject 

 of water supply, this catalog will be of vital interest to 

 you. Ask for catalog No. 36.

semi-double variety with pure white flowers. 

 Queen Charlotte is a beautiful pink much 

 after the color of a La France rose, and is 

 especially fine when grown with the white 

 varieties. Prince Henry is another fine pink 

 flower, but quite double. A paler rose !s 

 found in the double variety Rose d'Autumne, 

 while by some Lord Ardilaun is considered 

 finer than that old favorite, Whirlwind, it is 

 certainly more double. All are so thor- 

 oughly admirable that it will well repay one 

 to purchase all the various varieties by the 

 dozen, and make their planting a notable 

 one. It will thus be seen how fine a thing 

 the autumn garden may become by a little 

 judicious planting, and if equal care be given 

 the spring garden, and the list of spring 

 blooming plants and bulbs is infinite, the sum- 

 mer absentee will have little to complain of 

 in her garden during the time of home staying.
