in large-blooming dwarf Comet Asters has been
attained. The plants form compact bushes and bear
magnificent globular pure white flowers of the gen-

old Giant Comet Asters. Will be unsurpassed in .
value as a pot-blooming, also garden Aster.

“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

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

foot in the rows.

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

FRINGED PERPETUAL BLOO/PIING «ALLEGHENY ”

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

than the Tom Thumb, the dainty little Flowers are produced in

vise you to grow a large quan’ity for next year’s cut flowertrade.’’ All flower lovers

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

Srr:—Enclosed please find a photograph of a bunch of Gloxinias grown from bulbs purchased of

- 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.

struction. We can supply these mowers for one
horse, with either chain or gear drive, 3% or 4 ft.
cut. Guaranteed to give satisfaction.

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.

Yours, Jno. CRAWFORD,
This is the very best device known for raking lawns. Takes up Gardener to the Phila. Country Club.

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

This is exactly the same style of seeder as No. 3 “ Planet

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

“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.

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%

a drill it is almost identical with the No. 4,
and as a wheel hoe, is identical with

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.
