or wash out in streaks. Both the beautiful colors and shingles themselves 
last, last, LAST! That’s because of our special factory process which forces 
the stain and preservative deep into the wood. We use only cedar shingles 
sawed from live timber—no stumpage, no sappy wood; all parallel widths, no 
waste. Colors made of best earth pigments ground twice in best linseed oil. 
It will mean money in your pocket to investigate. Write for Book of “CREO-

Gladiolus 
Flowers 
We are growers of the bulbs of these magnificent flowers 
on our own farms, and the 1915 acreage was double that 
of former years. 
Flowers All Summer for $li22 
There is no flower that is so easily grown and blooms so 
readily as the Gladiolus, and by repeated plantings a con¬ 
tinued bloom may be had all summer long. The long 
spikes are graceful and fascinating in their great array 
of colors; cut as first flower opens and placed in water, 
the flowers develop for a week, even to the last bud. 
Commence planting in April and repeat at 10-day intervals 
until the end of June, and you will have flowers until 
late Autumn.
