"AMERICA'S FINEST CABINET WOOD" 
For ARTISTIC SIMPLICITY and QUIET ELEGANCE 
there is no wood so completely 
satisfactory as RED GUM 
(which is neither red nor 
gummy!) It was a favorite with 
the most discriminating of Euro¬ 
pean cabinet workers for a score 
of years before America “dis¬ 
covered its own.” 
The texture of RED GUM is 
as soft as satin to the touch—its 
natural tone a warm and hos¬ 
pitable seal-brown—its amen¬ 
ability to skillful handling is invit¬ 
ing and unequaled—its behavior 
(under the treatment deserved by 
so fine a material) is beyond criti¬ 
cism—and its cost is so absurdly 
below its deserts as to provoke 
delighted comment. 
« 
RED GUM as employed with much skill in the residence of Mr. Edwin C. Lewis, in 
Canton, Mass. Warm, rich and most moderate in cost. {Compareprice with Circassian. ) 
Will you permit us to send you Finished 
Samples? And instructive literature?

Our response to your faajor avill be prompt and responsible.

Some Novels and Stories — 
Among the Season’s Best 
MISS MINK’S SOLDIER 
and Other Stories 
By ALICE HEGAN RICE 
A book of short stories combining all those qualities of authorship 
and of human relationship which have endeared the creator of 
"Mrs. Wiggs” to so many million readers in all parts of the world. 
The short story is a mode of expression especially suited to Mrs. 
Rice—even "Airs. Wiggs” was a long short story. In addition to 
"Miss Mink’s Soldier”, this new book contains seven other pieces. 
Frontispiece by Walter Biggs. Price $1.25 
THE BOOMERANG 
By DAVID GRAY 
A novelization of one of the most phenomenal dramatic successes 
of recent years, and Mr. Gray has himself never done a more en¬ 
joyable piece of work. The story is a charming one, its plot entirely 
new, its dialogue brilliant and stimulating, its characters irresistibly 
attractive. The book promises to be as great a success as the play. 
Illustrations by Norman Price. Price $1.40 
MAGGIE OF VIRGINSBURG 
By HELEN R. MARTIN 
Another delightful “Pennsylvania Dutch” story by the author of 
“Tillie: a Mennonite Maid.” The plot centers in an idealistic boy 
and girl, fiercely loyal to each other, who are in sharp conflict with 
their materially-minded guardians. As they grow they carry the 
spirit of insurrection into the colleges which both attend and so 
at last into the larger world.

Plant an English Walnut Tree 
If you have room 
plant a grove of them, 
for the cultivation of 
the English Walnut in 
the north is not only 
one of the newest, but 
one of the most rapid 
growing industries in 
the United States. The 
early planter is bound 
to reap a golden har¬ 
vest. Write us for de¬ 
tails.

Look at this record of The Thompson Orchard, near Roch¬ 
ester, 228 trees on five acres, the largest commercial bearing 
orchard in the East, producing in one season 260 bushels 
Walnuts, 32 lbs. to the bushel, sold at 25c. per pound. This 
orchard has been in bearing many years—with occasional tem¬ 
peratures 20 degrees below zero. 
The Isere Valley—the valuable walnut region of France, 
has been practically wiped out. Judge for yourself the prices 
we will be paying for English Walnuts in a short time. 
“Northern Grown” 
means specially bred to 
severe changes of climate 
and ‘ low temperatures, 
strong, vigorous, husky 
young trees, able to offer 
unyielding resistance to 
severest weather. 
You ought to try a few trees, 
or if you have room, a grove of 
them. If you wish to get Far¬ 
thest north grown trees, write to
