SECOND EARLY.
Glen Mary. Large. conical, bright red berries;

him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than

dark red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.
MEDIUM.
Barrymore. This fine Strawberry was awarded a Silver Meda! by the

MEDIUM.
Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit
without green tips and with quality similar to the Marshall. It
blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize the
pistillate sorts.
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, o1
handsome, glossy dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It
is one of the best midseason berries, either for private use or mar-
ket. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high culti-
vation. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted
extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.
MecAlpin. This new variety was originated in New Jersey and is
considered by many growers to be one of the best of the newer intro-
ductions. The berries are a beautiful scarlet in color, very large and
of rich luscious flavor. Very productive.
Nick Ohmer. Dark glossy red globular berries of superior flavor:
fine for forcing.
LATE TO VERY LATE.
Chesapeake. ‘The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous,
with rich dark green foliage. The fruit is of large size, deep red in
color and of a rich aromatic flavor.
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large
conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-
known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very produc-
tive, of deep rich color, solid and quite juicy.
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the
list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the
3ubach. — Its color is a glossy, deep red; late as Gandy.

PANSIES.
Culture of Pansies.—Pansies thrive best in a cool,
moist, but well drained soil, enriched with well rotted
barnyard manure, or fine ground bone. Seeds sown in
Spring in a partially shaded situation will produce fine
plants for Autumn flowering. The finest blooms are to
be obtained, however, by sowing in July or August, giving
the plants protection during winter, when they will bloom
profusely in the spring and summer.

LAWN MOWERS.
COLDWELL GASOLINE MOTOR LAWN MOWER.
For use on large lawns, such as are found on golf grounds, parks and large
estates, we recommend motor lawn mowers. Besides being great savers of
time and expense, the beneficial and beautifying results to the lawn obtained
by the constant rolling of the heavy rollers is in itself sufficient to warrant
their use.
Model ‘‘J.’’ A four-cylinder 1917 model motor furnishes the power for
the Coldwell Model ‘J’? Motor Lawn Mower. The machine is also equipped
with Mayo radiator, gas tanks and bonnets, Cleveland worm gear drive and
Coldwell cutters. All gears are enclosed and run in dust-proof cases. It
has 50 per cent. less wearing parts than any other motor lawn mower made.
The gears and sprockets are all cut from the finest of steel for the purpose.
Model ‘J’? can be speeded up to six miles an hour and will
easily negotiate 25 per cent grades. Weight of machine, 2,000
Ibs. Weight on 40-inch drive rollers, 1,100 Ibs. Price, $1300.
(F.O. B. Newburgh, N. Y.)
‘“*‘WALK’’? TYPES—MODELS ‘‘G”’ AND ‘‘H”’.
Simplicity more than anything else, has been sought in this
model. Mechanical experience is not necessary to operate it
and it can be cared for by anyone.
In using this machine you simply have to guide the mower
negotiating any grade that a horse mower can be used on, and
running a keen 30” or 35” cutter over 6 to 8 acres per day.
Model ‘‘H”’ 30-inch cut weighs 900 Ibs. Model ‘‘G’’ (same
type), 35-inch cut, weighs 1000 lbs. The operating handles
are also used for raising and lowering the cutter unit over
obstacles.
Price Model “G,” $350. Model “H,”’ $300. (F. O. B.
Newburgh, N. Y.)
TOWNSEND'S “‘TRIPLEX” HORSE LAWN MOWER.
This machine consists of three high grade Lawn Mowers
mounted in such a way as to allow each mower to adjust itself
to the contour of the lawn, thereby cutting an 86-inch swath
with extreme evenness. It is of extremely light draught, due
partly to ball bearing and partly to the excellence of design and
workmanship. Three levers at the driver’s right enable him
to lift any or all the cutting units from the ground to avoid
obstructions or in going to or from the field. A small lever in
the centre of each wheel operates the clutch, throwing the ma-
. chine in gear or out. Price, $275.00 (F. O. B., Orange, N. J.)
