Hardy Plants for 
Specific Purposes 
I_TOW many of us have longed for 
1 1 a real old fashioned hardy gar¬ 
den, a longing which got side-tracked 
simply because we did not know 
either how to go about it or what to 
order for it. To encourage the making 
of more old fashioned hardy gardens, 
designed to give a maximum of 
pleasure from a minimum invest¬ 
ment, we have arranged a number of 
specific borders for specific purposes. 
And to make the execution of the 
plans easy, we will supply a planting 
plan free with each order. 
The hardy border blue print fur¬ 
nishes suggestions for an eight foot 
border to be planted in various color 
combinations and for a fifteen foot 
border planned along similar lines. 
In price the collections run from 
$ 5.50 to $ 8 . 50 . Every plant included 
is a specimen bound to do as we 
promise. Here are two

Pearl for Beauty and Durability 
B ecause of Rust, ordinary Painted or Galvanized screening 
fails to give satisfactory service. T he wire becomes pitted 
and corroded particularly at the points of intersection, and is soon 
destroyed. 
When screening, use PEARL WIRE CLOT H. Due to its metal¬ 
lic coating, a special process, exclusive with us, PEARL is longer 
lasting. The coating is a part of the wire itself, does not peel or 
chip, is rust-resisting, insures long life, making it the most econom¬ 
ical wire cloth, as well as the most beautiful and the clearest of 
“vision.” On the market for over 30 years. 
Insist upon the genuine which has two copper wires in the selvage 
and our round red tag on every roll. 
We have a dealer in your town. See him or write us if you are interested in 
permanently screening doors, windows or porches. Samples and literature free.
