J7T For late planting, buy plants 
jJ grown in the cold northern 
regions, where the winter lasts 
longer and the normal spring is 
very late. 
JTT Mount Desert’s rigorous cli- 
jJ mate produces plants of great 
vigor and hardiness, and the late- 
ness of the shipping season — April 
25th to June 15th — is to your ad- 
vantage for late planting. We send 
you only strong plants, which can- 
not fail to grow. 
f|T Our illustrated general catalogue is a 
TJJ most interesting production which we 
shall be pleased to send upon receipt of a 
post card. We sell a general line of nur- 
sery stock, flowering shrubs and high class 
herbaceous perennials — all well grown in 
a rigorous climate. 
#TT Remember — this climate makes roots 
□1 and growths start late. The newer 
type of Astilbis are among our leading 
specialties. 
A supplementary list, in brochure 
form, of New and Rare Shrubs and 
Hardy Plants, describes one of the best 
collections of New Plants ever offered in 
this country. This includes many of 
Mr. Wilson’s notable introductions. 
We make a specialty of plants for 
Rock and Wall Gardening.

T HE thoughts of a new cottage, garage 
or playhouse for the children give you 
a pleasant thrill. But the thought of 
plans, builders’ bills, infinite little worries 
and expenses soon put a damper on your 
enthusiasm. . 
Now, if you want to know the exact cost of your 
building; if you want to be sure of no ‘‘extras” 
and no worries; if you want to see a photograph 
as it will look — all before you are obligated in 
the least — do this: Gel a Hodgson Catalogue. In 
it you will find photographs, plans and prices of 
portable cottages, garages, playhouses, bungalows, 
screen houses, tent houses, chicken houses and lots 
of other kinds of houses. Pick out the one that suits 
in price and proportion. Then order. 
By paying 25% of the price of your house we will 
prepare and hold it until wanted. This saves you 
money and insures you prompt delivery.
