“. . . I’m willing to give up the bulk of my 
garden to growing anything that Hoover 
wants, from lettuce to Liberty Bonds. But 
cant you suggest some way of putting a little 
imagination into one corner of it so that we 
can have tea in war-forgetfulness? I’ve al¬ 
ways wanted a pool for waterlilies and cloud 
shadows. And / fairly dream about a wicker 
tea table, blue plates and pale gold roses. 
But I dont know how to combine them and — 
without your aid—I feel I never shall!”

T HAT’S the kind of letter we like, with its post¬ 
script particulars as to price and size limits. We 
drew a diagram of that garden, and we put in 
everything from the iris around the lily pool to 
the cornbread on the blue plates, and the red-lac¬ 
quered furniture under the upeurved roof of the 
Chinese teahouse. But if you chance to prefer clear 
white, and a latticed pergola for your roses, we’ll give 
you that. 
A ou see, we aim to cover in House & Garden from 
month to month the greatest possible number of those 
problems of gardening, building and interior deco¬ 
rating that have been worrying you. But every such 
problem can’t be solved through the pages of the 
magazine, because many of them call for individual 
advice. 
The Information Service fills this gap. It is the an¬ 
swer to the personal question, the particular difficulty 
that is yours and yours alone. We have, right at our 
New York doors, the best architects, decorators, shops 
and shoppers, gardeners and landscape artists. Their 
advice is at your disposal; your questions addressed 
to the Information Service will receive their personal 
attention. Next time you don’t know what to buy, or 
where to put it when you have it, ask: 
DANERSK DECORATIVE FURNITURE 
offers you the fullest opportunity for

ing furniture for single rooms or the

Colonial tradition finished in antique

Quick Work—No Waste 
Makes a neat, attractive, durable 
surface, which will last as long 
as the house itself. 
Wherever a neat, artistic, 
water-proof surface is wanted, 
Con-Ser-Tex 
Canvas Roofing should be used. 
It will not leak, buckle, crack, 
stretch, peel or rot. 
It is 
Water-proof, Weather-proof 
and Wear-proof 
Unlike untreated canvas, CON-SER- 
TEX is not affected by the action of 
the sun, wind, rain, snow or frost. It 
is a high-grade roofing material, which 
is economical and durable. 
Investigate its merits. Send us the 
dimensions of your roof, porch doors, 
sleeping balcony, or the surface you 
want covered. We will mail you sam¬ 
ple showing quality , width, weights 
and free illustrated copy of “Roofing 
Facts and Figures.”
