JF you would have the wood which possesses 
all the virtues of other woods, and has 
none of their shortcomings, for the outside 
of your home, insist on 
White Pine 
Three centuries of building experience in America 
have proved that White Pine withstands the attack 
of time and weather more successfully than any 
other wood. 
It does not shrink, swell, crack, twist, warp or rot— 
and once in place it “stays put,” after years of ex¬ 
posure, even in the closest fitting mitres and in deli¬ 
cate mouldings and carvings. It takes paint and 
stains perfectly. 
If your lumber dealer is un¬ 
able to supply White Pine, we 
would appreciate the oppor¬ 
tunity of being helpful to you 
in securing it. 
“ White Pine in Home Building ” 
is beautifully illustrated with old 
Colonial and Modern homes, full of 
valuable information and suggestions 
on home-building, and gives a short, 
concise statement of the merits of 
White Pine. Send for it now. 
There is no charge for it to pros¬ 
pective home-builders.

Companion by Day 
Protector by Night 
If you live in a lonely part of town or in a 
suburb, a good dog is the surest of all burg¬ 
lar alarms. Why not have a companion 
by day and a protector by night? 
Look through the kennel an¬ 
nouncements in this issue of the 
magazine and you may find the 
very dog you want. Should none 
of these quite meet your re¬ 
quirements, write us your pref¬ 
erence as to breed, the approxi¬ 
mate amount you wish to pay, 
and we will put you in touch 
with just the dog you desire.

Your All-Year Garden 
(Continued from page 48) 
a single plant. Mercerau, early, and 
Erie, main crop, are good varieties. 
Grapes—The greatest recent 
achievement among grapes is Caco. 
Concord, Catawba (which are the 
parents of the variety just men¬ 
tioned), Delaware, and Pocklington 
are excellent universal favorites. Of 
currants, Perfection, red, Lee’s Pro¬ 
lific, black, and White Grape will give 
a good assortment. A new variety, 
Everybody’s, is particularly robust 
and healthy, with first quality fruit. 
Gooseberries have been “coming 
back” for the last few years, because 
of the new varieties which are more 
mildew-resistant. Among these is 
Carrie; with fruit not quite so large 
as the popular Red Jacket, it never¬ 
theless yields almost twice as much. 
Downing, pale green, Red Jacket and 
Industry, are other excellent sorts. 
The New Flowers 
The descriptions of new ornamen¬ 
tals and flowers are more dependable 
than those of vegetable novelties; 
furthermore, one does not risk so 
much in trying them. The last few 
years have seen a great many valua¬ 
ble additions among shrubs, annuals 
and perennials—not merely improve¬ 
ments, but quite distinct, new crea¬ 
tions. For instance, there are the 
new buddleias or summer lilac, the 
new giant marshmallows, Weigela 
Eva Rathke; lobelia, Tenuior; portu- 
laca, Parana; double flowering morn¬ 
ing glories; the red “sunflowers” and 
the new dwarf, early flowering tri- 
tromas, and the new white oriental 
poppy, Mrs. Perry’s White.
