I F you are planning to build a home you will find 
it to your advantage to read this booklet before 
you decide on the material you are going to use. 
It is beautifully illustrated, full of valuable sugges¬ 
tions, and gives a short, concise statement of the 
merits of 
White Pine 
Three centuries of building in America have 
proved that no other wood so successfully with¬ 
stands exposure to the weather as White Pine. And 
it is more than simply durable; it holds its place 
perfectly for more than a lifetime, without warp¬ 
ing or checking or opening at the joints. This long 
and satisfactory service makes it the most economi¬ 
cal wood for home-building. 
Despite an impression of its scarcity, White Pine is still 
abundantly available today, as it always has been, in any 
quantity desired. If your lumber dealer is unable to supply 
it, we would appreciate the opportunity of being helpful 
to you in securing it. Send for booklet now. There is no 
charge for it to prospective home-builders.

Of late years there has developed 
in this country a gratifying interest 
in the problem of color in the flower 
garden. The old idea so aptly de¬ 
scribed by the expression “riot of 
color” is giving way before the ad¬ 
vance of those thoughtful gardeners 
who appreciate the fact that magenta, 
yellow, blue and red, massed against 
a background of lilacs or rising in
