ATTRACTIVE FENCES and GATES 
For Country and Suburban Houses 
A WELL built fence adds to the appearance of any 
country place, protects your lawns and gardens 
from romping, heedless children and keeps out the 
neighbor’s dog. To be a permanent source of satisfac¬ 
tion and not a source of trouble and expense it must be 
properly made. ___ 
ANCHOR POST FENCES 
have back of them a record of over twenty years of satis¬ 
factory service. The Anchor Post construction insures 
permanently correct alignment. Its stability is unaffected 
by frost and thaw and it remains erect and true year after 
year._All parts are heavily gal vanized to p revent rus t. 
Our catalogue shows a wide [variety of fences and 
gates and we will gladly mail you a copy.

A Letter from Mr. Tracy to the Readers 
of House & Garden: 
My Friends: 
Before the smoke had blown away after the big 
fire at Cedar Acres, on the morning of November 
23 rd, we were busy making plans for continuing the 
business. 
Through the many expressions of sympathy 
which have come to us, we are given the courage to 
start over again. We have the advantage, this time, 
of all our past experience and the knowledge of 
Gladiolus culture that these years have given. 
One of the greatest factors of our loss was the 
destruction of all mailing-lists, orders placed 
through the summer, and, in fact, all office records. 
If you or your friends are interested in Gladiolu s 
we Would be very glad to receive names and ad¬ 
dresses, if only on a postal card, so that we may 
send our new catalogue. 
With thanks to you for all your past courtesies 
both to Mrs. Tracy and to myself, I am. 
Sincerely yours, 
(Signed)

As Waterproof as a Duck’s Back 
That’s the way Bay State Brick and Cement 
Coating keeps exterior walls of concrete or 
stucco. One coat absolutely overcomes the 
tendency of cement to absorb water — it 
prevents disintegration. 
Bay State cltenl Coating 
gives a uniform color—no blotched appear¬ 
ance. For interior decoration it is unequaled, 
being light-reflecting, damp-proof, fire- 
retarding and easily cleaned. 
Oar free Booklet 2 contains some ideas that will be 
of immense help to the man who’s planning to build 
of concrete, stucco or brick. Send for it — it’s free.
