Florsatin 
A unique floor finish 
Like Wax But Unlike It 
“ You can’t slip cn Flcrsatin, Grandmamma” 
F lorsatin, as the name implies, 
is the Pearl of Floor Finishes. It 
produces the dull, satiny effect of 
wax, without its dangerous slipperi¬ 
ness, and retains it for months and 
years with no more care than a rug 
or carpet demands. This unique ef¬ 
fect, inherent in Florsatin, is obtained 
without the expense of rubbing, and 
Iia^ 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 mini¬ 
mum of cost. May be applied 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 Green- 
leaf. a 20-page, handsomely illustrated 
book on house decoration.

to Get 
Started 
First decide what you want to grow in your greenhouse—then where to 
locate it and about how much you care to spend. Write all these things to us. 
If you are somewhat undecided on some points and feel that a personal inter¬ 
view would be more satisfactory, then we will come and see you, or if you think 
this hardly necessary, we will mail a plan, sketch and approximate estimate, giving 
you a fairly definite idea of what we propose to do. You will find the getting 
ready for a greenhouse, as we arrange it, is rather pleasant work after all. 
To get some of our points of view on greenhouses, send 5 cents in stamps for 
our booklet, “How to Get Started with a Snug Little Greenhouse.”
