I N order to extend the scope and work of the 
Real Estate Mart in House & Garden, we 
have decided to add a new department. Every 
month our readers write in and tell us what they 
require in real estate, and this department will act 
as “Central,” connecting buyer with seller and so 
put you in touch with the actual properties as they 
are listed. If you desire any kind of property just 
write in to us what you desire and where you desire 
it. State as fully as possible your wants and we will 
put you in touch with the party that has the very 
thing you want. 
N 1 A piece of property wanted suitable for summer camp 
within three hours of New York, preferably in a very 
rural and wooded country, about seventy-five or one 
hundred acres, not in the Catskills, must have at least 
over five hundred feet elevation, good water supply, 
well sheltered brook or lake suitable for bathing and 
a couple of good lawns and absolute privacy. 
N 2 Wanted a southeastern New York, western Connecti¬ 
cut, or an equally desirably located farm in exchange 
for a fifteen hundred tree grapefruit grove—willing 
to pay cash difference. 
N 3 Wanted a small farm in southern New York, Long 
Island, eastern New Jersey or within a radius of thirty 
miles from Philadelphia—not less than ten acres, no 
more than thirty. Rolling country desired, to have a 
stream or brook, not far from a good sized town or 
city. 
N 4 “I am interested in real estate, buying more or less 
run-down houses and remodelling them and beautify¬ 
ing the yards. Could you suggest something of value 
to use ?” 
-- - 
mostly know (and the rest are learning fast) 
that there really is only one wood for Bungalows 
—and that is “Cypress, of course.” Write for 
Volume 5, Cypress Pocket Library—very com¬ 
plete general treatises by well-known architects, 
covering all the puzzling questions on Bungalow 
building, from designs to furnishing—sent 
promptly with our compliments upon your re¬ 
quest. 
The less you have to spend in building, the 
more important it is that you secure the longest 
possible life for your investment. The more 
you spend the more important it is that your 
money shall represent a definite and permanent 
investment, and not have to be spent over again 
in exasperating repairs. Cypress is “the one best 
buy” in the entire wood market for those who 
care what they get for their lumber money. Be¬ 
cause it lasts and lasts and lasts and LASTS. 
Write for Vol. 5 Today. Now is the best time. 
Let our "ALL-ROUND HELPS DEPT.” help you. Our entire resources are at your ser¬ 
vice with Reliable Counsel. We invite Correspondence with a serious purpose in it.

T HE easiest and least expensive way of erecting a 
cottage, garage or other adjunct to your home is 
to put up one of the 
Portable 
HOUSES 
HODGSON 
But the popularity of these houses during the past year 
has been too great for us to promise prompt delivery 
next season except to those who order early. 
Look over the Hodgson catalog nowand select what 
you want next spring or summer. We 
will build it and store it for any ship¬ 
ping date desired. The sections, already 
painted, can be erected by unskilled 
labor in a day or two after the house 
arrives, yet the house can withstand any 
season or climate. For catalog address
