Have Spring when you want it. Have it NOW! 
All you need is a plot in your garden covered with 
Sunlight Double Glass Sash. GET THEM NOW. 
You will be surprised to see what fine, strong 
plants you can grow. Your flowers and vege¬ 
tables will be six weeks ahead of the season. 
And, how much better they are when not 
commonplace — when they are your own 
achievement! Sunlights Eliminate the Drudgery. 
When the hot-bed is made, planted and covered with the 
double-layered glass_ the hard work ends. Thereafter 
lettuce, radishes, onions and greens are growing ready to 
eat; and such plants as cabbage, cauliflower, beet, to¬ 
mato, pepper, cucumber and melon, in order, are growing 
ready for the early field. The double glass, enclosing a 
non-conducting air space, keeps 
the bed bright by day and 
warm by night and does away 
with the labor of using heavy 
boards or shutters. The sash 
are complete in themselves. 
Get them now.

LIQNl-SALVOR, Best Wood Preserver, t Registered) is an 
antiseptic compound, and is used in two capacities: for ‘’INSIDE 
WOODWORK'* and for “OUTSIDE WOODWORK.” 
“INSIDE WOODWORK” 
It createsa beautiful, natural, oil finish, either in a “FLAT EFFECT" 
(brown i. or a wax-like “DULL GLOSS,” by simply applying one, 
or three coats, respectively. It t^kes the place of wax or varnish. It 
is unsurpassed for ceilings, beams, trusses, braces, panels, doors, 
wainscoting, pews, choir stalls, seatings. and all other interior trim. 
For “FLOORS” it is elegant, it is not afiected oy water, and will not 
show heel marks. 
“OUTSIDE WOODWORK” 
It is easily applied. It requires no skilled labor, no expensive plant, 
no lengthy preparations; ONLY A BRUSH. “SHINGLES” are 
dipped, and when laid, given a heavy bru.sh coat. “SLEEPERS 
AND TIES” are given a bath. It soaks readily into the wood. Un¬ 
like paint, it leaves the pores open; prevents rot or decay, and com¬ 
bines serviceability and beauty, if applied thoroughly. It weathers 
prettily. Is largely specified for dwellings, churches, hospitals, rail¬ 
road depots, sheds, stables,boathouses, and other wooden structures 
exposed to climatic changes. Nothing like it for impregnating 
SLEEPERS, to be imbedded in cement. Comes in one color ( brown) 
only, and one gallon covers about 300 square feet of dressed lumber. 
It9 cheapness appeals to aU builders. It eaves expense. Three co.ats 
are required. Send for particulars and full directions.

**Please accept my thanks for your dainty 
* Little Book About Roses.* It is Just the thing 
for amateurs and beginners in rose culture. 
It is quite a relief to get a hold of such a 
little gem. It wVl do much to restore con¬ 
fidence among amateur rose growers, and is 
deserving of wide circulation.** 
‘‘J{ Cittle Book Jlbout Roses” 
for 1912 is a real gem—far-and-away the best I have yet 
issued. 
Among those who know, this booklet is also the most 
helpful and inspiring of anything of its kind yet at¬ 
tempted. It, and the business behind jt, is the outcome— 
the result of many years of enthusiastic amateur and 
professional devotion to the flower nearest the heart of 
mankind the world over. 
Unique in its honesty in describing (and pricing) the 
world’s best roses of today, it also tells in detail how 
even the merest tyro may surely succeed.

Coating Man 
My Bay State Brick and Cement 
Coating is a protection for concrete 
and stucco; has been tried under 
all sorts of conditions and has met 
all the requirements. Years be+ore 
anybody else made a coating for 
concrete or stucco mine was an 
established success. 
Mine has no oil in it and you can’t 
burn it. It will keep out moisture 
and save concrete from cracking. 
You can use it as a floor tint on 
concrete or wood, or a wall deco¬ 
ration. It has a dull tone and you 
can use it on a private house or 
on a factory floor or on a factory 
wall, in rooms that are damp or in 
rooms that are dry, and it does not 
destroy the distinctive texture of 
concrete. 
Just write me and let me send you 
my Booklet No. 2 that gives you 
a list of the houses of concrete and 
stucco and other constructive work 
upon which my coating has been 
applied. Address
