Better Than Window Shades 
Burlington 
Venetian Blinds 
can be adjusted to let in light and 
air, yet keep out the sun and the 
gaze of outsiders. They make 
your sunny rooms cool and rest¬ 
ful, and your porch a shady, airy 
and secluded haven of comfort. 
Also order Burlington Window 
Screens (inside or outside) and 
Screen Doors with Rust-proof 
wire cloth—they have the quality. 
Instead of old-fashioned folding 
blinds insist on Burlington Patent 
Inside Sliding Blinds. Look for 
the name “Burlington”; best 
for cottage or mansion.

of handling evergreens is to transplant, trans¬ 
plant, again and yet again; this insures 
success. Andorra’s beautiful evergreens can
