Florsatin 
A Unique Floor Finish. Like Wax 
But Unlike It 
Grandmamma” 
F lorsatin, as the name im¬ 
plies, is the Pearl of Floor 
Finishes. It produces the 
dull, satiny effect of wax, without 
its dangerous slipperiness, and 
retains it for months and years 
with no more care than a rug or 
carpet demands. This unique 
effect, inherent in Florsatin, is 
obtained without the expense of 
rubbing, and has never before been 
achieved in a lasting finish. 
Added to beauty is its extreme 
durability, ease of application and 
great covering capacity. The 
result is absolute satisfaction with a 
minimum of cost. May be ap¬ 
plied to old as well as new floors. 
Send 10 cents for a wood panel showing 
the beautiful effect of the Florsatin finish 
and a copy of “The Home Ideal,” by 
Margaret Greenleaf, a 20-page, handsomely 
illustrated book on house decoration.

A NATURE LABRATORY 
When one considers that Luther Burbank has demonstrated in his simple greenhouse the possibility of adding one grain to 
each head of wheat and that this would mean increasing the annual wheat crop in the United States by 15 , 000 ,bushels, the 
wonderful possibilities and opportunities which Nature holds open to the man who will study her secrets is most forcibly 
demonstrated, . , ,-x- j j u 
Why not have a Nature labratory—a greenhouse? A place to experiment in. If you know plant life you understand the 
anticipating-pleasure of each blossom development; can feel in this pleasure-work an enthusiasm so intense that you forget the 
sordid things of life and are unconsciously refreshed and invigorated. 
But there is more than merely what you get out of work in the greenhouse, think of the enjoyment to ALL the members or 
the family and the pleasure to guests and friends it makes possible. 
There is unmistakable perfection of plan, distinction and convincement in the way we do this greenhouse building, not 
found in other houses.
