NEW LILAC, MARIE LEGRAYE 
ELLIOT NURSERY CO. 
New Lilacs on Their Own Roots 
O F LATE years there has been a multitude of new varieties of Lilacs 
grown and many of them have very great beauty, but, unfortunately, 
almost all the stock offered, both in this country and Europe, has been 
budded on privet and is practically worthless, for lilacs grown on this are cer¬ 
tain to die in a few years. Nurserymen bud Lilacs on privet because they can 
produce a large stock quickly and inexpensively, but one Lilac on its own roots 
is worth a score of budded plants.

We started growing choice named Lilacs on their own roots ten years ago 
and now have a very large and fine stock and the only stock in America. These 
Lilacs are strikingly distinct and beautiful. The flowers of the double varie¬ 
ties are very lasting. 
We have the largest, finest and most_ comprehensive stock of hardy plants in America, in¬ 
cluding three hundred varieties of the choicest Peonies, one hundred varieties of Japanese and 
European Tree Peonies, and also the largest collection of Japanese Iris in the world and an un¬ 
surpassed collection of named Phloxes. Our illustrated catalogue describing these and hundreds 
of other Hardy Plants, Trees, Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Shrubs, will be sent on request. 
“A PLEA FOR HARDY PLANTS.” by J. Wilkinson Elliott, contains much information about 
Hardy Gardens, with plans for their arrangement. We have made arrangements with the publishers 
of this book to furnish it to customers at a very low price. Particulars on request.

The Original 
Brick and Cement Coating 
will protect concrete construction of all kinds 
against the ravages of dampness and at the 
same time will not conceal the distinctive tex¬ 
ture of concrete or stucco. It is admirable for 
residences, mills or such heavy construction as 
subways, bridges or dams. It comes in white 
and different tints. 
It will not chip or flake off, but becomes a 
part of the material itself, adding to its dura¬ 
bility and its beauty. When applied overhead it 
will not drop and injure delicate machinery. 
Allow us to send you a book that shows you 
the fine residences, office buildings and manu¬ 
facturing plants that have used it advantageously 
and extensively.

constructions on which it has been used, Dept.

Wall Covering 
-...j 
m 
Compare this fine 
fabric, this sumptu¬ 
ous wall covering, with 
paper, paint or any other 
you ever saw. Think of 
its artistic character, its 
attractive and decorative 
appearance and its wearing qualities. 
It is more permanent and more sanitary 
than wall paper and unlike it, may be 
stripped and rehung or painted in different 
tints to suit your changing room arrange¬ 
ments. 
Look at the small sample; if it interests 
you, write for our booklet which offers 
valuable suggestions on wall covering.
