THE VALUE OF 
Good Trees and Shrubs 
It is being more appreciated every day. Planters are beginning to 
realize that the success of a planting will depend largely upon the 
class of stock used. 
Good plants may be a little more expensive— It costs more to grow 
them, but they are worth the difference. The superiority of Trees 
and Shrubs properly grown, over ordinary stock is so evident that 
any trifling difference in the first cost is offset by results obtained. 
That’s the point— First cost is of secondary importance. Best re- 
sults are what you want— They can only be had with good stock. 
When comparing prices investigate the quality. 
We offer a most complete assortment of plants that have been 
grown right and will give satisfaction. Send for our Fall Catalogue. 
It’s just out.

Use Powdrpaint 
For Painting Casket Boxes 
C A soiled, discolored box can be 
made to look as good as a metal or 
hard wood case with 15c worth 
of Powdrpaint. 
C It dries in an hour, perfectly flat 
without gloss and produces a velvet 
like enamel finish which will not 
rub or wash off. It will add 50% 
to the selling price of your boxes. 
C It is better than oil paint for this 
work and 75% cheaper. Any 
handy man can mix and apply it.

Concerning the Thoroughly 
Practical Greenhouse 
1 1 isn’t a question whether your appropriation allows for an or- 
namental greenhouse, or not, but the point is, it must be prac- 
tical. Thoroughly practical. And it is to that side of the ques- 
tion that we first give our attention. 
First — a practical plan. 
Second— a practical location for the boiler and an arrangement 
of the heating that will work for economy. 
TAirtf— ventilation in sufficient amount and under perfect 
control. 
Fourth —Ornamental if you want it— but always a clean cut, 
workmanlike job from start to finish. 
You will admit that confidence is the result of things well done. 
This being so, we have hundreds of houses from Maine to Cal- 
ifornia, covering over half a century of building experience, 
that stand for confidence well placed. 
These facts mean a good deal to you.
