Are Flowers Non-Essentials? 
1~\ECIDEDLY NOT. They are essential as mes- 
sages of love and sympathy to the sick or 
sorrowful who need their cheery companionship: 
they are essential for the table and for room deco¬ 
ration, to brighten somber days: they are essential 
on all festal occasions; and growing them is es¬ 
sential as a means of mental relaxation and 
healthful exercise. Resolve therefore to “Grow 
Flowers as Usual” this year. 
Heatherhome Flower Seeds 
have proved a revelation to American Gardeners. We have in 
past years developed many wonderful creations that have never 
yet been equalled. This year we again have several marvelous 
novelties that all Garden Lovers should grow and enjoy. Among 
them are a new Midsummer-blooming Cosmos, with Mammoth 
Flowers of a rich, glowing crimson, the new American Beauty 
Aster, a rose-pink window-box Petunia that is a wonder, the 
latest development in Sweet Peas, and many others.

lists nothing that is not well-worth growing; all unde¬ 
sirable have been discarded. Yet it covers everything in

garden. Shall we mail you a copy?

ARE YOU 
SATISFIED? 
Do you continue to 
use garbage and 
rubbish cans be¬ 
cause you are 
satisfied? Or do 
you tolerate them 
because you think 
they are necessary 
evils? 
The KERNERATOR 
Has at last emancipated the home from these evils. 
The door shown is located in the kitchen. Into it is put every¬ 
thing that is not wanted—tin cans, garbage, broken crockery, 
paper, sweepings, bottles, cardboard boxes—in fact all those 
things that accumulate in the home from day to day and are a 
continuous nuisance and dangerous health hazard. 
The material deposited falls down the regular house chimney 
flue to the incinerator built into the base of the chimney in the 
basement. From time to time a match is touched to it and it 
burns itself up. The material deposited is the only fuel required. 
Not one penny for operating cost and yet you have abolished 
garbage and refuse cans forever. 
SANITARY—ECONOMICAL 
CONVENIENT—ODORLESS 
A postal to us today will bring an interesting catalog to you tomorrow.
