House & Garden 
with the 
NIAGARA HAND DUST GUN 
and 
Niagara “AIl-in-One-Dust-Mixture^^ 
Half the joy of having a garden is taken away by the 
insects and diseases which partly destroy or riddle your plants 
and trees. 
Dusting, by killing insect pests, and controlling fungus 
diseases, will help you to enjoy the garden to the utmost 
without the sloppy, mussy bother of mixing various chemicals 
with water and making various solutions for different pests. 
Niagara “All-in-One-Mixture” is a clean flour like dust 
which contains fungicide poison, and contact insecticide in 
combination. So a single application fights all classes of insect 
pests and fungus diseases. 
The dust is placed in the hopper at the end of the Niagara 
Dust Gun and by short, easy strokes of the piston blown in a 
thin cloud over the plant. There is no chance of soiling or 
spoiling the clothes and the entire outfit is so light and easy 
to operate that any woman or child can rid the garden of plant 
lice, green worms, potato bugs, mildew, etc., etc. 
Niagara Hand Dust Gun, One Pound of Niagara “All-in- 
One-Mixture” and the Niagara Garden Guide are all packed 
in a single attractive carton for sale by dealers everywhere.

THE NEW NETS MAKE ATTRACTIVE 
GLASS CURTAINS 
T he problem of glass curtains is 
being solved most satisfactorily 
this season by the new and attrac¬ 
tive nets which are so popular. Al¬ 
though casement cloth and silk gauze 
have been used to take the place of net 
curtains very frequently, there are 
schemes of decoration in which nothing 
is more effective than the simplest sort 
of curtaining without ruffles or without 
trimming. For that purpose net is the 
most satisfactory and it also has the 
advantage of being semi-transparent 
and admitting plenty of light. 
The new nets have many advantages 
over scrim and materials of that va¬ 
riety, as they do not sag or pull, which 
makes them in consequence much more 
durable. The nets may be had in a 
variety of meshes and textures, all the 
way from the heavy, wide variety to 
the very fine filet mesh with openings 
no more than one-sixteenth of an inch. 
They cut to good advantage, as all 
these nets come 45" wide, which is 
sufficient for one side of the average 
curtain. 
The making of these glass curtains in 
the decorative mesh nets should be as 
severely simple as possible; a wide hem 
at the bottom with either the selvage 
or a verj' narrow hem used at the sides 
is all that is necessary. This will be 
found very satisfactory, especially when 
the outer curtains are of a more elabo¬ 
rate nature. When' over-curtains are 
not used, however, as in the case of 
sun porches or breakfast rooms, it is 
attractive to edge the very heavy net 
curtains with a rather wide thread 
fringe. This may be either a deep ecru 
or cream color to match the net, or a 
contrasting shade such as peacock blue 
or burnt orange. 
Another method of making filet net 
curtains, which one of the New* York 
decorators is doing to a great extent, 
is to finish them with a wide hem at 
the bottom and the center, and then 
decorate them with self-colored threads 
in a variety of interesting designs. With 
this treatment, the design is very wide 
at the bottom and has just a little nar¬ 
row border at the sides. 
Many charming effects have been ar¬ 
rived at by the use of these designs, 
which of course could be carried out 
in a contrasting color if so desired. For 
this purpose only the filet net may be 
used, as the mesh of the other nets is 
too open. 
With all the variety of design in these 
serviceable fabrics, it is possible to use 
them in different types of rooms, not 
only for window curtains but for 
French doors as well. 
Four more glass curtain nets are found in these designs. 
The upper left is a square mesh net of medium texture, $2.10 
a yard. The upper right, a very close filet net, ,$3.15 a yard. 
The lower left, all-over design dart and egg, medium weight 
$2.10 a yard. The lower right is a very sheer openwork 
design, $2.85 a yard
