House and Garden 
FLO-WHITE 
The selection of the finish for the walls and standing woodwork in the 
kitchen, pantries and bath-rooms of a residence is a detail of supreme im¬ 
portance to the householder. To render these sanitary is the first consider¬ 
ation, and to give the walls and woodwork a permanent finish and one which 
is suitable and pleasing to the eye is the architect’s responsibility. 
Flo-White, the most recent product of Chicago Varnish Company, fully 
meets these rec_[uirements and has aroused a very unusual interest, and 
wherever it is specified and used the most enthusiastic praise from client 
and architect. The many points of superiority of this enamel over prod¬ 
ucts prepared for like uses can readily be seen. 
In application it flows easily under the brush, and shows no brinsh- 
marks in drying. 
Its surface is of wonderful brilliancy, and is hard and smooth like 
glass. 
As a substitute for tile it is especially valuable applied to wainscot or 
entire side walls. 
For Hotels, Cafes, Barber Shops, Hair-dressing and Manicure Parlors 
it is particularly satisfactory. 
In the ideal kitchen of an ideal house, decorated and furnished by 
Margaret Greenleaf, the consulting decorator of Chicago Varnish Company, 
Flo-White was used over hard plaster marked off in 6-inch squares before 
the plaster hardened. 
This little kitchen is the pride of the housewife—clean, bright and shin¬ 
ing. Its glistening white walls and polished yellow maple floor (left in the 
natural color and finished with two coats of Chicago Varnish Company’s 
Supremis), make an attractive setting for the brick red range with its spread¬ 
ing copper hood. Blue and white ware and shining long-handled frying- 
pans decorate the shelves. 
The little casement window has diamond panes daintily hung with 
clear, crisp, white muslin. The whole effect is quaint and charming. Write 
Margaret Greenleaf for advice on the finish of the standing wood-work of 
your house; she will recommend a complete color scheme illustrated by sam¬ 
ples if you send your plans. No charge whatever is made for the service 
if you are using Chicago Varnish Company's materials, as this offer is 
made by the Company only to their customers.

PURE BRED AND HALF BRED 
MORGANS 
Statesville, N. C., Feb. 14, igo8 
T^EAR MR. SPEED; Two or three 
months ago you wrote a very inter¬ 
esting article in House and Garden on 
the subject of the Morgan horse. We 
have some friends here who are interested 
in Morgan horses, and we think about 
four of these might he sold here. 
Now, according to our understand¬ 
ing there are mo or three types of this 
horse, one of which is a very small 
horse and is known more as the old- 
fashioned Morgan, and we believe is 
full-blooded. Nowq the other types 
referred to, according to our under¬ 
standing are about half bred, are 
larger and have more speed. 
Our friends here who are interested 
in Morgan horses w’ant horses who are 
nice roadsters, and who are also able 
to walk rapidly under saddle and have 
a good canter. While the idea would 
he to use them principally for roadsters 
still they should be saddle-broken and 
he able to walk and canter. We, of 
course, understand that they do not 
show the fancy gaits like the Kentucky 
saddle horse, hut if they would walk 
rapidly and canter easily they w'ould 
be perfectly satisfactory. 
Is not the old-fashioned Morgan 
very small and more like a pony I 
Their powers of endurance, we under¬ 
stand, are great and they are also, we 
believe, stylish and have fine action. 
One of our friends interested in 
Morgan horses is a doctor and he would 
buy a pair if suitable horses could be 
found. 
What type of Morgan horse would 
you recommend, and will you be so 
good as to put us in touch with some 
reliable breeders or dealers located m 
dift'erent parts of the country i Do you 
think there is any special advantage in 
going to Vermont for these horses i 
We know they originated there hut 
think they are now being bred in dif¬ 
ferent parts of the country. 
Now, wdiat type of Morgan horse 
would you recommend for general all 
around purposes — the old-fashioned 
Morgan or the half bred horse ?
