House & G arde 
Your Home of Redwood— 
Whatever its style of architecture, will have a distinctive 
personality all its own. 
It will be different from the houses around it because, in 
all probability, your neighbors’ homes are not built of this 
many-purpose wood of the West. 
Not that Redwood is a new or untried lumber! On the con¬ 
trary, the Sequoia Sempervirens of California is accepted as 
a symbol of age-old endurance; and the rose-tinted beauty 
of its wood defies a parallel. 
But only recently has Redwood been marketed upon a na¬ 
tion-wide scale; only recently has the esthetic charm of this re¬ 
markable wood been within the reach of most home-builders. 
You will find in California Redwood a happy combina¬ 
tion of beauty and endurance. 
For exteriors, its rot-resistant and fire-retardant qualities 
recommend it. Redwood siding, shingles and shakes last as 
long as the house, despite extremes of moisture and temper¬ 
ature. And since the lumber contains no pitch, it does not 
ignite readily, is slow burning and easily extinguished. 
And for interior panels and woodwork, the close-ringed 
graining and the natural old-rose tint of California Red¬ 
wood give it a variety of very attractive possibilities. 
Properly seasoned, it will not warp, shrink or crack —a de¬ 
cidedly important quality. 
Let us tell you more of this many-purpose lumber. Write for free 
booklets: “California Redwood Homes”and “How to Finish Red¬ 
wood. ’ ’ Probably your lumber dealer handles Redwood. If not,
