A 
BEAUTIFUL 
FLOOR 
is a very important part of a beautiful 
house. A wax floor appeals to many 
because of its satin-like finish ; its seri¬ 
ous disadvantages are its slipperiness, 
constant rubbing and care recjuired to 
keep it in condition, and its germ¬ 
breeding properties. A floor treated 
with 
FLORSATIN 
is an exact reproduction of a wax 
floor, as to appearance, with all its dis¬ 
advantages eliminated. Like other 
articles of merit Florsatin is imitated 
and sometimes unscrupulous dealers 
offer substitutes. Shun these substi¬ 
tutes and insist upon the genuine. 
W'e offer the services of Margaret 
Greenleaf as Consulting Decorator, as¬ 
sisted by a large staff drawn from the 
best talent to be obtained in Europe 
and America, to all who use our ma¬ 
terials. For this service no charge is 
made. Full color schemes are supplied 
upon request, illustrated with wood 
panels showing the beautiful wood fin¬ 
ishes for floors and standing wood¬ 
work made by us, together with sam¬ 
ples of wall covering, drapery materi¬ 
als, etc. This enables the home-maker 
to see what the finished color effect 
will be. 
For ten cents to cover postage we 
will send a wood panel showing Flor¬ 
satin and the ‘‘Flome Ideal,” by Mar¬ 
garet Greenleaf. This booklet will ex¬ 
plain our offer.

What 
TIanning Mhead 
Means 
Most of us spend some few even¬ 
ings along in the winter planning 
what we are going to do and plant 
in the garden the coming spring. It’s 
pleasurable work, too—not the sort 
of pleasure that’s more than half in 
the anticipation—Nature and only 
Nature actually gives full rewards. It’s the very same with a greenhouse, it’s interesting 
work planning the best place to build it, how it will look if placed as close to the house 
as you really want it—what you will grow, but the real enjoyment comes when things 
actually are growing in it—the few hours a week spent begin to yield their bloom-wealth 
and vegetables come along with all their out-of-season zest—and that’s why you ought to 
have a greenhouse. Send 5c. in stamps for “How to Get Started with a Greenhouse”— 
begin planning at once. We build the ver}^ best kind of house, and you can be assured of 
pleasant dealing.
