GOOD FENCE-GOOD NEIGHBORS 
A GOOD fence makes good neighbors. Be a good neighbor and pay your share 
for a first class boundary division. Remember that it requires just as much 
labor to erect a poor fence as a permanent one. The fence that looks best 
and lasts longest is 
EXCELSIOR “RUST-PROOF” 
This fence, by a final coating of non-corroding metal, is rendered moisture 
proof, so that it does not rust. Tree Guards, Trellis and Flower Edgiugs are 
also made with this “Rust-Proof” finish. 
Write for Catalog “C,” and sample of “Rust-Proof” finish.

P ROCRASTINATE again this fall and next June you will 
reap regrets'instead of armfuls of the most glorious flower 
of the age. And there’s plenty of time yet too. I never 
do any of my own planting until after mid-October and my 
flowers generally take first prize wherever exhibited. 
And when you do plant a flower that will outlive you, plant 
the best. 
Peterson’s Perfect Peonies 
have an international reputation. They're the best that untiring, 
skilled effort can produce.

ROSES My ‘'Epoch'’ Roses have already created a sensation 
in the Rose world. Last spring many varieties were 
sold out in February. They will be ready for late October and 
November planting. Why wait until spring to plant these extra 
big, robust, out-door reared Roses?

A Big Novel of an American Girl 
From colored frontispiece

“A Gem 
Gertrude 
BY EDWARD HUNGERFORD 
Author of “Little Corky,” “The Modern Railroad.” etc 
Gin GERTRL’DE, the reader of this strong, 
enveloping romance will find a marked 
contrast with the average drawing-room 
heroine, the wishy-washy, doll-like young 
woman whose province is only to be loved 
and won. Gertrude is a real American girl, 
the kind of a girl who is to-day achieving 
the big things of life, and her story is told 
with rare insight, humor and realism.

of a Love Story” 
— Brooklyn Eagle 
Six years alone on a little 
island in the Indian Ocean! 
What could Zalia Thorne 
know about love — having 
been marooned when she was 
twelve years old? How could 
she have existed in the great 
loneliness of this tropical 
island? Barry Carshall, a 
wanderer from New York, is 
shipwrecked and finds Zalia. 
And in the life of these Iso¬ 
lated Two—their adventures 
and the situations that arise—there is wonderfully appealing romance. The dia¬ 
logue sparkles and glows like the embers of a driftwood fire. 
“Most admirable * * * with every element of interest and with a dramatic 
movement that continues from beginning to end.”—Buffalo News.
