Rare Water-Lilies I 
can be grown in any gar- | 
den or conservatory as | 
easily as other plants. A | 
few half-barrels or an arti- | 
facial pool is all that is | 
needed. For many years I | 
have specialized in Water- | 
Lilies and know the vari- | 
eties that can be grown by | 
anyone, anywhere. 
My 1916 Catalogue | 
lists these special varieties, giv- | 
ing full descriptions and many § 
pictures. It also tells of the i 
many plants suited to a water | 
garden. Write for a copy. y

SI-WEL-CIO 
Silent Closet 
r HE Si-wel-clo suppresses a noise 
you do not want heard and do 
not want to hear. 
If you are building a home or re- 
lodeling, give to your bathroom this 
entle attention. Install 
Its surface is highly glazed. It does not 
absorb grease stain nor discolor—will not 
crack nor peel. 
You will never be proud of a bathroom 
that contains a noisy closet. If, through 
oversight or indifference, you permit a 
noisy closet to be put in, you subject your¬ 
self to much embarrassment and self-re¬ 
proach later on. 
The Si-wel-clo is made of vitreous china. 
Y'our architect or plumber knows the Si- 
wel-clo. Speak to him about it. 
Booklet M-8 
“Bathrooms of Character” 
Shows just how you can make the most 
of your bathroom space 
and gives estimates on the 
cost of different installa¬ 
tions. Send for it.

Don't be sorry when the cracks come in the 
walls of the living room that you were so proud 
of when your house was new. 
Be sure of walls of permanence by insisting that

goes under the plaster. 
Plaster won’t crack if it forms a perfect bond with the 
base it is laid over and the fine mesh of “KnoBurn” always 
imbeds itself so firmly in the plaster that it can never come loose.

Oeautify the 
Ld Garden 
A N English bench in an ob- 
scure corner, a comfortable 
chair in a picturesque spot, 
or an old-fashioned settee with 
chairs and table invitingly set for 
tea or cards, go far to make the 
garden what it really should be— 
a beautiful spot to enjoy—a place 
of rest and quiet. 
Our garden furniture is unique in design 
and workmanship. It is thoroughly well 
built and can be made up to harmonize 
with stone or shingled houses. 
Send for our catalog showing great variety 
of benches in rustic and painted furniture. 
It will aid you in beautifying your garden 
and will be gladly sent upon request.

Stained with Cabot’s Creosote Stains. 
IV. P. Seaver, Architect, New York 
That Bungalow 
which you intend to build next 
Spring will need the soft, ar¬ 
tistic tones of 
Cabot’s Creosote 
Stains 
to make it complete and har¬ 
monious. 
Paint doesn’t suit bungalows. 
It forms a hard, shiny coat 
that is foreign to their char¬ 
acter and “atmosphere.” The 
Stains produce deep, rich and 
velvety colors that harmonize 
perfectly with the style of 
building and surroundings. 
They are 50 per cent cheaper 
than paint, and the Creosote 
thoroughly preserves the wood. 
You can get Cabot’s Stains all 
over the country. Send for 
free samples of stained wood 
and name of nearest agent .
