“From THE oiENT. JAPANESE OR MIKADO FERN BALL For the window, drawing room, or suspended from chandelier, over dining table, or used in fern dishes.
What is prettier in winter than a ball of delicate Emerald Green Ferns?
Composed of the Japanese Inland Fern Roots and Sphagnum Moss, and so constructed as to send out leaves of beautiful emerald green from every point. They grow rapidly, and make a handsome ornament for the home conservatory or greenhouse.
DIRECTIONS: Place ball in water for several hours and then suspend in any desired position ; repeat every two days until growth has started, |} after which water occasionally as required, being careful that it does not become dry. The greater the growth the more water will be required to keep the ferns in a flourishing condition. To use in fern dish cut ball in halves, placing flat side down, thus getting two dishes of beautiful ferns. The Fern Ball may be allowed to dry up at any time and be set away, and started again by watering as before.
The Fern Ball will be from 1 to 4 weeks in starting, according to degree of heat and moisture. Do not expose to direct rays of sun.
When used for Fern Dish purposes divide the ball in four equal parts, submerge cut parts in water for about one hour and place in fern dish in which it is to grow. The results obtained by this method are very satisfactory.
PRICES: Extra large size, 75c. each (by mail, g0c.), $7.50 per doz.; 1st size, 50c. each (by mail, 60c.), $5.25 per doz.; medium size, 4oc. each (by mail, 50c.), $4.00 per doz,

NEW CARNATION, ‘‘ Mrs. B. A. Nelson."’ a ety
NEW CARNATION, “MRS. E. A. NELSON”
ANNOUNCEMENT We take pleasure in announcing that the new pink carnation, the ‘‘ Mrs. E. A. Nelson,’’ will be distributed in the Spring of 19.2 In offering the ‘‘ Mrs. E. A. Nelson”’ we do so thoroughly convinced that, as a commercial variety, it will
rank among the very best that were ever introduced, and that all the claims ever made for it will be fully verified by all those who may give it atrial. Those who saw it growing at various seasons during the past four yearsare unanimous in declaring it to be unquestionably the best commercial pink carnation in sight.
A FEW MERITORIOUS POINTS.—Size—The average bloom, under ordinary culture, exceeds three inichies in diameter. Color—A pure Shae pink, similar to that of Joost. Calyx—Strong and absolutely non-bursting. Stem—2 to 2% feet, strong and erect, sustaining the largest blooms. Bloomin Qualities—Although a “fancy”? of the highest order, it is withal an early, profuse and continuous bloomer. Scott, in its palmy days, never surpasse the “ E. A. Nelson”’ as to continuity and quantity of blooms.
Habit of Growth—Strong, clean and vigorous. It lifts easily and suffers no setback under the most discouraging conditions. _ Keeping Qualities—As good as the best; blooms shipped from Indianapolis to Boston, arriving at their destination in splendid condition. This fact is worthy of note because of the distance between the two points, necessitating three transfers.
Record — Scored 94 points in Boston and 91% in Cincinnation March oth.
The ‘‘ Mrs. E. A. Nelson’? will be ready for distribution February 1st, 1902. Orders will be filled strictly in rotation on the principle, ‘' First come, first served.”

HARDY GIANT PRIMROSE
(Primula Veris Superba) The plant originated a y few years ago ina batch of PRIMULA VERIS SUPERBA seedling Polyanthus, and apparently isa hybrid Primrose, having somewhat the growth of a Polyanthus combined with the yellow color and fragrance of the English Primrose.
In size of flower, it is fully three times as large as any hardy Primrose, the average size being over one inch, and they have frequently measured over two inches, with individual trusses of bloom six inches in diameter. Itis perfectly hardy, grows from ro to 12 inches high, and begins to flower earlier and continues in bloom longer than any other plant of the same family. This alone is sufficient to insure its popularity as a plant for the garden, but its greatest merit lies in the fact that it is not only one of the easiest plants we know of to force, but a plant that can readily be brought into flower during the winter and erly spring months, and is especially desirable as a cut flower, being of delightful fragrance.
The plants can be stored in cold frames, successive batches being brought into the greenhouse or conservatory as required, allowing about four to five weeks time to bring them into full bloom. Price 25c. each; per doz. $2.50 ; $15.00 per Ioo.

LIMA BEANS
These are more tender and require rather more care in culture than the Bush Beans, and should be sown two weeks later. They succeed best in sandy loam, which should be liberally enriched with short manure in the hills, which are formed, according to the variety, from three to four feet apart; from five to six seeds are planted in each hill about two inches deep. Rough cedar or similar poles, about seven or eight feet long, should be used for Lima Beans to climb on. They should be setin the ground at least eighteen inches, so as to prevent being blown over.

Peas succeed best in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and dwarf sorts require richer soil than the late varieties. If manure is used, let it be old and well rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold, and must be planted later. Sow seed in single rows, three feet apart, for dwarf sorts, and four for tall sorts, or in double drills, six to eight ; inches apart, one inch apart in the drill, and not less than four inches deep, for late sorts seven to eight inches deep. Deep planting prevents mildew.

Advantages of Changing Seed Potatoes.
There is no other crop that we raise that is so much benefited by the introduc-
tion of fresh seed from time to time as the potato, provided the change is to a well-
selected, stock, and the further north it is grown, the better.
They yield nearly double the crop on the same land,

POTATOES.
PLANT TEN BUSHELS TO THE ACRE
The soil best suited to the potato is a rich, sandy loam; being a gross feeder, it requires a liberal application of ma- nure; if stable manure is to be used it should be well rotted and not allowed to come in contact with the tubers. Onno other crop are the results from the use of phosphates so manifest as on the potato; almost invariably the tubers are brighter, smoother and freer from rust and the destructive influence of wireworms. ‘I’he best fertilizers are plaster, lime, super-phosphate of lime, and bone dust, for heavy and Mh wet soils especially, as they promote growth, and at the same

which should be done as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, pro- vided the ground has not already been prepared in the fall, The very best time, the ground being in order, is about April ist. Three to four bushels per acre should be sown ; the latter amount is best, for the young plants are but small and if thick, cover the ground better and make a smoother and more even turf. Mowing should be done at least once a week in favorable growing weather, and even in dry weather it should be cut
twicea month. Do not allow the clippings to remain on the ground, except they are very short.

In addition hereto, the color is something fine, and the appearance of the petals convey the idea that they were made of crushed silk, on account of the delicate colors. The eee arb from disease is a good point, and the fact that at each axis are 3 to 4 buds, which all develop, is also a good point; this prolongs the blooming season. hey come go per cent. true from seed.

Photograph of Gloxinias grown by F. Canning, Gardener to S. T. Bodine, Esq. Bulbs furnished by us.
GLOXINIA BULBS.
One of the handsomest summer blooming plants.
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS.
Pot the bulbs as soon as received in a mixture of soil consisting of two parts loam, and one part of leaf mould and sand, they should then be placed in a temperature of not less than 60°, water sparingly until the roots are well develop:d. A warm moist temperature, care in watering, a shady position, and care to prevent cold draughts from striking them, are necessary in order to secure the very best results. When their blooming period is over they should gradually be left to dry out, watering can be avoided by laying the pots on their side, placing them in the sun as the foliage begins to disappear in order to thoroughly ripen the bulbs; start them the fo lowing spring by repeating the afore described treatment.
Separate Colors. Crimson, White, Spotted, Blue, Red bordered: Each, 15c.; Per doz. $1.25; per 100, $7.00. Choicest Mixed, Each, r1oc.; per doz., $1.00; per 100, $6.00.
TESTIMONIAL Mr. Henry F. Micuerv: Vitra Nova, Pa., Sept. 24th, 190%. Srr:—Enclosed please find a photograph of a bunch of Gloxinias grown from bulbs purchased of you. The wide range of colors are extremely beautiful, and were admired by all who sawthem. 1 have no hesitancy in saying they are the best I have ever grown. You are to be congratulated on possessing
the best strain of Gloxinias the market affords. Respectfully yours, Gardener to Samugt T. Boning, Esq. FRANCIS CANNING.

- Coldwell’s Motor Lawn Mower
This is one of the latest and best inventions. Experimenting and improving on the Motor Lawn Mower for a number of years has at last produced one en- tirely satisfactory.
The object in building this machine was not only to do the work much quicker than can be done with either Horse and Hand Mowers, but also to do the work much better. We haveno hesitation in saying that our Motor Lawn Mower cuts grass more perfectly than is possible with any other kind of machine.
It is especially adapted for use on Parks and Golf Grounds, the latter of which it is especially recommended for, as its great weight and fineness of cut, leaves the ground in the very best condition for the game.
AsaSTEAM ROLLER FOR LAWNS it has no equal; its weight is just right for this work. When so used the lawn mower part is y,,,_ lifted by means of a lever and left suspended free from the ground.
na The Motor (8-horse power), of the latest improved de- sign, is the same as is used on an up-to-date automobile.
The machine complete and ready for operation weighs about 3,000 pounds, It cutsa swath 4o inches wide, and travels at the rate of from 250 to 500 feet per minute over any ordinary grade.
AS A PORTABLE ENGINE to be used for pumping water, sawing wood, etc., it is perfect.
Considering the amount, quality and variety of work this machine will do, we consider it the most econom- ical machine that can be used on a large place.
We guarantee that a man can do as much cutting with this machine in a single day as can be done with two or three Horse Mowers in the same time.
PRICE, $1500.00 NET. Coldwell’s New Motor Lawn Mower. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED.
Buckeye Mowers
Now Largely Used on Lawns and Golf Courses
Also for ordinary field mowing generally required on a gentleman’s place. Considered the finest ma- chine of its kind; very simple and durable in con- struction. We can supply these mowers for one horse, with either chain or gear drive, 3% or 4 ft. cut. Guaranteed to give satisfaction.
PRICE, $38.00.

Testimonials on the Finley Lawn Rake
Mr. MIcHeELt. Puira. Country Cius, BALA, Pa., September 30, 1g0r.
Dear Sir: Uhave had the Finley Lawn Rake thoroughly tested and find it the most useful and economical rake that I have ever used. It will do the work of four men in the same amount of time required. It is alsoa splendid help to the lawn, as it lifts up the grass, so that the mow-r can cut it more easily. It takes up sticks, stones and anything that go between the teeth and the cover.

“PLANET JR.” FARM AND GARDEN TOOLS
Space wilt not permit our showing and describing all of the “ Planet Jr.’’ tools, but we will send a fully illustrated catalogue free for the asking to any who desire it. yx.” goods are standard machines ; the best; yet great improvements have been made for 1902. You can rely on getting a bottom price from us on any of the ‘Planet Jr."’ Tools-
‘«« PLANET JR.’’ No. 3, Hill Dropping Seed Drill.
We all know that a seed sower that does not drop in hills is fast becoming a thing of the past. Why? Because all crops that are to be grown from seed and thinned to a regular stand should be planted in hills at just the distance apart the plants are desired; for in drilling, un- less the seed is sown unnecessarily thick, there will not always be a plant at the proper spot, and the crop is therefore irregular. This means that a seed sower should drop in hills, and at various distances. The new No. 3 “Planet Jr.’’ drops at 4, 6, 8, x2 and 24 inches apart, and also in a continuous row, without injury to the seed and can be changed fro
hill to drill in- Sows ately, or from Either In ‘ene distance to Hills or another very in Con- quickly. Thein- tinuous dex is at the top Rows.

This is exactly the same style of seeder as No. 3 “ Planet Jr.”’ Hill Dropper. It is smallerin capacity, though still of good size, holding two quarts. It drops in hills at 4, 6, 8,12 and 24 inches apart and in drills any thickness, handling the smallest
paper of seed perfectly, and is simple, durable and very ee running. Throws out of gear instantly by simply
raising the handles The drill is detached and the ae frame substituted by moving but one bolt. It
then becomes one of the most admirable Single Wheel Hoes of the ‘‘Planet Jr.’’ family.

“PLANET JR.” No. 11 Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator, Rake and Plow
This tool combines in itself the good points of its predecessors, with valuable new ideas. It hasxzz-inch wheels which can be set at Sur different distances apart; the frame is. malleable, with ample room for tool adjustment, and can beset at three different heights. The handles are adjustable, and being attached to the arch, are entirely undisturbed in making changes of the height of frame, width of wheels or in the adjustment of the tools them- selves. The arch is of stiff steel unusually high. The design of the frame is noyel, allowing all changes of tools to be made without removal ofthe nuts from the standards.
A pair of model rakes
and apair ofnew #& style hoes are added to the usual equip- ment—seven pairs of tools in all, The , variety ofa >. * sa thework pos- ai bea a SEH sible with this machine is incredible, covering the whole range of wheel hoe work, both in the garden and on the farm, and has our unqualified endorsement.
+ PLANET JR.’”’ No 12 Double Wheel Hoe.
This tool is identical with No. rz except that it has a less complete equipment, as shown in the cut, but at a correspondingly less price. The set of tools with No. 12 is what gardeners need most.
Price $6.30
The ««-PLANET JR.’’ No. 13 Double Wheel Hoe
This tool is the No. rx with 6-inch hoes only, this pair of tools being most gener- ally useful at allseasons. Any or all of the No. x1 tools may be added at any time, and aresureto fit. Price $4.50.
“Planet
| ‘¢ PLANET JR.’ No. 25 Combined Drill and Double
Wheel Hoe
This new combined machine is intended for those who have a large enough acreage to use a Double Wheel Hoe to advantage, and yet prefer not to buy a separate machine. It holds 2% quarts, and has 311% inch wheels, which are just the right size. As a drill it is almost identical with the No. 4, and as a wheel hoe, is identical with the “ Planet ie No. 12 Double Wheel Hoe. The change from drill to double wheel hoe takes buta moment, and the entire com- bination is one we can heartily recommend and guarantee satisfactory.

This tool has rapidly grown into favor with farmers, market gardeners and strawberry growers. It has a high frame and the chisel-shaped teeth cut an inch wide each. The foot lever pulver- izer is a capital addition for preparing ground for the seed drill or for plant setting, and con- trols the depth of the rear teeth. Hand ley- ers regulate both width and depth while in motion;it con. tractstorzinches and expands to 32 inches. Itcul- tivatesdeepwith- out throwing dirt upon the plants, emits and the smooth round - throated teeth turn strawberry runners without injuring them.

Fairmount Weed [Jiiller
Hills Weeds Scientifically Will keep your paths and roadways clear of all organic growth, will not injure marble or any kind of stone or gravel. WEEDS are the bane, the nerve destroyers of all forms of life; they are the vegetable rats. We are only concerned, however, with the weeds that destroy nature’s beauty. For some time past we have devoted our time to the ways and means of
quickly, effectively and economically destroying them. Our success has surpassed our expectations, and we have now passed the experimental stage.
One gallon of our Weed Killer mixed with forty-nine gallons of water and spread over roo to 150 square yards of surface with a rose sprinkler, will
save the labor and expense of several men. It destroys all organic growth, therefore is only intended for use in places where grass is not wanted.
By using our Weed Killer you avoid digging up your paths and roads; they then become firm and free from dust.
The best time to use it is about 24 hours after rain, so that it will penetrate to the roots. Our Weed Killer acts by destroying the seed germs and roots of plants. Park and Cemetery Superintendents and care-takers of private grounds should test its valuable merits without delay.
