Aid Nature to Do Better With Your Plants and Shrubbery 
These two illustrations show how simple a matter it is to give the growing things all pos- 
sible chance to do their best for you. The trellis on the end of the porch is a simple method 
of supporting climbing roses, clematis, wisteria, and other heavy climbers. They get the 
best chance to climb — their natural tendency. They also get plenty oi light and air with this 
RUST yROOE 
Trellis 
Made of extra strong, heavy wire securely held at every intersection of the wires by our 
patented steel clamp. This gives them extra long life and prevents buckling and collapsing 
under wind strain and sudden shock. 
Porch-end trellis 
as a rose support. 
Lawn and flower 
bed guard pro- 
tecting a luxu- 
rious growth. 
Dip-galvanized after making by our 
special Rust Proof process. 
Excelsior Rust Proof Bed Guards 
protect the flower beds from the ravages of small 
animals. They promote a greater growth because 
they prevent trampling and packing of the earth. 
They enhance the beauty of the bed as the beau- 
tiful, soft silver-gray blends with the green and 
colors of the flowers. 
Made of the same materials and eaually as 
strong construction as the trellises. They can 
betaken up and laid away for the winter as easily 
as pulling up a flower stake. 
Ask your hardware dealer. We will be 
glad to send you Catalog B upon request.
