THE ONLY REALLY
Dwarf Salivia Splendens, “Lord Fauntleroy”
The illustration is engraved from a photograph of one plant, measuring only 18 inches high from the
ground to the tips of the spikes. This is a fair average specimen, and we have found in two years’ trial that
it comes strictly true from seed. It will at once
be seen that for bedding this new Salvia is fully
as suitable as geraniuis in respect to height and
compactness, while in brilliancy of color it
eclipses anything in nature. We have counted
over one hundred spikes of bloom on a single
plant. The foliage is of a very rich dark green
color, beginning right at the ground and rising
no more than ten inches above, while the 8-inch
flower spikes stand erect and clear above the
foliage. For bedding in masses alone, or with
plants of equal height, or for borders around
beds of taller plants, we know of nothing that
will be so effective.

Albert’s Plant - Food
THE BEST FERTILIZER FOR HOUSE PLANTS
The style of the very handsome tins in which this celebrated German Plant-Food is put up is shown by our
eut. Full directions for application are given on the outside of each tin. The lid can be removed by hand and
replaced so as to keep the fertilizer absolutely air-tight. It is also much
more convenient for mailing than any style of fertilizer package now on
the market.
It is to its quality, however, that we attach most importance, the
analysis being as high as it is possible to make a chemical plant-food, which
at same time can be used without risk of injury to to the plants.
It is a scientific preparation containing in a highly concentrated and
easily soluble form the food elements required by plants. It is odorless,
clean to handle, quick in its action, and unequaled in its effects. Inside each
tin Is a small spoon holding the exact quantity required for dissolving in a
quart of water. By its use plants acquire a sturdier growth, fuller develop-
ment and a manifold increase in bloom. For palms, ferns, India rubber
plants, bulbs, and all kinds of pot-plants, it is by far the most complete, most
effective, most economical and easiest applied fertilizer made.
We are sole agents for the United States, and as an inducement to catalogue a reaily genuine article
that will sell well, we offer it at the following low price:

Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe Radish.
As a forcing Radish the Early Scarlet Globe has established a reputation as a
leading sort—the best in every way. It is handsome in form and color—a beautiful
oval and rich scarlet. The amount of foliage is small compared with other varieties and
small for the size of radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing radish is that
it will bear the heat requisite for forcing without becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is
crisp, tender, jucy and mild; it is equally as good for open ground as for forcing, and
therefore it commends itself equally to the amateur and to the market gardener.

Detroit Dark Red Turnip Beet.
‘Long experience has shown this variety of our own introduction to be the best
deep red turnip beet not only for market gardeners but for home use. It is also by far
the best for canning, making a strikingly handsome product much superior to that obtained
from any other variety; its small, upright growing tops only maturing, and the splendid
shape and color of the roots make it popular with every one who plant it. Top small
upright growing so that the rows may be close together; leaf stems and veins dark red,
blade green roots, globular or ovoid peculiarly smooth. Color of skin, dark blood red;
flesh, blood red, zoned with a darker shade. Very crisp, tender and sweet and remaining
so for a long time. We believe that the stock of this variety which we offer will pro-
duce a crop more uniform in shape, color and quality than any other beet seed obtain-
able.

FERN BALLS (Davallia Bullata.)
We have imported some of these interesting Ferns from Japan. They are easily
grown and occupy little space, bemg suspended in the room. In the fall the leaves die
off, and the plants need a rest for two months, during which time it is recommended
to keep them out of doors. The frost does not hurt them, but when taking them in,
they should be gradually thawed out. We handle only the long-leaved variety.

The seeds should be sown early in the spring, in drills an inch and a haif deep, and one foot apart. The
next spring transplant to permanent beds, in rows or hills three feet apart and two feet between the plants.
Plant in a deep, rich, moist loam, and the plants should be protected in winter by a covering of leaves or coarse
manure. A bed will continue in bearing for several years.

Sow the seed early in spring, in drills 15 inches apart, and about a dozen
to the foot in the drill; keep the soil mellow and free from weeds during the
summer, and in the succeeding spring transplant to permanent beds, which
should be done in the following manner, as described by a cultivator of
Oyster Bay Asparagus,
«Plant on sandy soil. To grow Asparagus in perfection, the soil need
not necessarily be richer than it must be to produce a good erop of Corn.
Some experiments have shown that by heavily manuring the crop cannot be
made permanently greater than by moderate dressings. It is not desirable
to plant them out very early; more plants will fail to grow than when the
planting is deferred until the soil is dry and warm.
“In planting for private use, set out in rows two feet apart, and allow 12
inches in the row. Set the plants at least six inches below the surface. For
market on a large scale, set four feet apart one way and two the other, which
will allow the use of a horse and cultivator to keep the weeds under.
“Tf the plot is made sufficiently rich when the plants are set, they will
make a large growth the first summer, and the shoots may be cut from them
Columbia White Asparugus. the succeeding year. Any well treated plot ought to produce a moderate crop
the second year after planting. Remove the dead brush late in the fall or
early in the spring of each year, and apply broadcast a dressing of manure. A plot of Asparagus will reach its
maturity in its fifth or sixth year, after that the size of the shoots will diminish, but their numbers will increase.”

A rich, deep, open soil is the best suited to the culture of Boeke fresh manure is undesirable, but land that
has been well manured the previous year is highly suitable. For an early supply sow in spring as soon as the
ground becomes fit to work, in drills about one foot apart and two inches deep. For main crop sow the first
week in May, .and for winter use sow in June. When the plants have obtained three or four leaves, thin out, so
that they may stand eight or nine inches apart. Keep free from weeds by hand weeding and hoeing. Those
intended for winter use may be taken up in October, and stored in dry sand, in the cellar or outhouse. Before
storing leaves and fibres must be trimmed off, but care must be taken not to bruise the main root.

A tender and delicious vegetable. The plant grows two or three feet high, and produces from the sides of
the stalk numerous little sprouts, one or two inches in diameter, resembling cabbages. The leaves, which look
like the Savoy, should be broken down in the fall, to give the little cabbages room to grow. They are very

as soon as the soil will admit. For autumn and winter use, plant in the seed-bed in May and early part of June,
and when six inches high transplant into rich soil, two feet apart each way for the early varieties, and three by
two and a half feet for the large winter varieties. To secure the best results, the soil should not be too dry, but
should be thoroughly enriched, and the crop should be hoed at least once in 10 days. Sow in heat early in

The Carrot, like other root crops, delights in a sandy loam,
deeply tilled. It should neyer be sown on newly manured ground,
as forked roots are sureto be the result. Itis best to sow on ground
that has been well manured the previous year for some other crop,
such as Celery, Potatoes, Onions or Peas, but avoiding such cropsas
Cabbage and Turnips, or any of the tap-rooted section. For early or
main crops sow the latter part of April; for later crops they may be
sown any time until the beginning of June. Sow in rows about 15
inches apart and half an inch deep, thinning out to three or four
inches between the plants.

Cauliflower delights in a rich, moist soil, and in dry
seasons should be abundantly watered. The seeds
may be sown in September and wintered over in the
same manner as described for early cabbage. Where:
this is not practicable, it may be had nearly as well
by sowing the seeds in the hotbed in January or
February and transplanting the plants at two or three
inches apart in boxes, or in the soil of another hot-
bed, until such time as they are safe to be planted in
the open ground, which, in this latitude, is usually

The seeds may be sown in the oper
ground in April, as soonasthe ground
can be nicely worked. Sow about half
an inch deep, and be careful to firmly
press the soil over the seed: this should
be done by treading over the vows with
the feet after sowing; this prevents the
air drying up the seed, which thereby
loses its vitality and fails to germinate..
Many valuable crops are annuglly lost
by inattention to this important par-
ticular. After the seed is up, keep care-
fully clear of weeds until the time of
planting, June and July; the tops may
be shorn off once or twice before plant-
ing; this makes them ‘stocky’’ and
they suffer less in being transplanted.

riety, setting the plants about six
inches apart, and pressing the soil

weeds until the plants are able to take
care of themselves. Earth up gradu-
ally during their growth, keeping the
leaf stalks close together, so that the
soil does not get between them. The
soil best suited for Celery is a rich,

Sweet Corn may be either sown in rows, four and a half feet apart, and the seeds planted at about eight
inches in the rows, or planted in the hills, at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the variety
grown, or the richness of the soil in which it is planted.” The taller the variety or the richer the soil, the
greater should be the distance apart. The first plantings in this vicinity are made about the middle of May,
and successive plantings every two or three weeks until the first week in July. In more southern latitudes
planting is begun a month earlier and continues a month later.

should be plucked when large enough, whether

Moss Curled Early Summer, used for salads same as winter varieties
Endive is one of the best salads for fall and winter use. Sow
for an early supply about the middle of April. As it is used
mostly in the fall months, the main sowings are made in June and
July, from which plantations are formed at one foot apart each
way in August and September. It requires no especial soil or
manure, and after planting is kept clear of weeds until the plant
has attained its full size, when the process of blanching begins.
This is effective by gathering up the leaves and tying them by
their tips in a conical form with bass matting. This excludes the
light and air from the inner leaves, which in the course of three
to six weeks, according to the temperature at the time, become
blanched. Another and simpler method consists in covering up the

Kohl-Rabi, or Turnip-stemmed Cabbage, is a vegetable that is not so much cultivated
as it deserves to be. The stem above the ground swells into a bulb somewhat resembling
a Turnip; this again is crowned with leaves. The edible part is the bulb, whichis dressed
and served like turnip, and is very delicate and tender when young. It is very hardy,
withstands severe drought, and is a good keeper. Cultivate the same as Cabbage, but in
hoeing be careful not to throw dirt into the heart of the plant, or the bulb cannot form.

inches apart each way, as deep as possible, that the neck, being covered, may be
blanched. If fine Leeks are desired, the ground can hardly be made too rich.

under glass in February and March, and transplant as soon as the ground can be worked. Later, sowing may
be made in the open ground for succession as long as the weather permits; thin out well, or the plants will be
weak, and set in rows:two feet apart and eight inches between the plants. The best early plants are obtained
by sowing in the open ground in September, and transplanting to cold frames the latter part of October, being
wintered over in the same manner as early Cabbage. Lettuce requires good ground and abundant moisture.

Melons thrive best in a moderately enriched live soil; the hills should be six feet apart each way. Previous
to planting incorporate well with the soil in each hilla couple of shovelfuls of thoroughly rotted manure; plant
twelve or fifteen seeds in each hill early in May, and when well up, thin out to three or four of the most prom-
ising. Pinch off the leading shoots as the growth become too luxuriant, and if the fruit sets too numerously,
thin out when young, which will increase the size of those remaining, and cause them to ripen quicker.

Mustard in the green state is a refreshing salad, mixed with Cress, Lettuce, or other salad plants. It is
necessary to make frequent sowings of it, as it should be cut and used in a very young state, even before the
first rough leaf has appeared. The seed should be sown thickly in light soil, the surface of which should be
made very smooth. The seed should be pressed into the soil with the back of a clean spade, and should then be
watered through the fine rose of a watering pot, without having any soil placed upon it; but the bed should be
covered for a few days with a piece of cloth or mat, and in the course of six or eight days the Mustard will be
fit for use, and should be cut close to the surface of the soil with a sharp knife; and no soil having been placed
over the seeds, it will be found clean and free from grit.

Mushrooms should be grown either in a building especially erected for the purpose or some shed, stable or
cellar, where a temperature of from 40 to 60 degrees can be kept up in winter. To every barrow load of fresh
horse droppings add about the same weight of loam or soil of any kind that has not been manured. Turn the
heap every day, so that it is not allowed to heat violently, until you have quantity enough to form a bed of the
dimensions required. Be careful that your heap is under cover, so that it cannot possibly get wet.
The most convenient size for a bed is from three to four
feet long and eight inches deep.
Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed
in layers, and pounding down each with the back of a spade.
Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the
heat subsides to 90 degrees, make holes in the bed about a
foot apart each way, into which put pieces of the spawn, two
or three inches in diameter; fill up the holes with the compost
and at the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will
have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Now spread
a layer of fresh soil over the heap to the depth of two inches,
firm it down moderately, and cover with three or four inches
of hay or straw. Examine the bed often to see that it does
mot get dry. When water is given it should be at a tempera-
tare of about 100 degrees.

The Onion thrives best in a rather strong, deep, rich, loamy
soil, and, unlike most vegetables, succeeds well when cultivated
on the same ground for successive years. The ground should be
deeply trenched and manured the previous autumn, and laid up
in ridges during the winter to soften. As early in spring as the
ground is in working order, commence operations by leveling the
ground with a rake, and tread it firmly; sow thinly in drilis about
a quarter of an inch deep and one foot apart; cover with fine soil
and press down with the back of a spade ora light roller. When
the young plants are strong enough, thin gradually, so that they
stand three or four inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground
open and free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking care not
to stir the soil too deeply nor to collect it about the growing
bulbs.

PARSNIPS—Continued.
Parsnips are largely used both as a garden vegetable and for the farm.
They are very nutritious, and cattle fed upon them fatten rapidly ; while in
cows they produce a larger yield of milk, having a rich color and affording
butter of excellent quality. They succeed best in a deep rich soil that has
been well manured the previous season, as manure freshly applied tends to
the production of forked and ill-shaped roots. Sow the seed early in
spring in drills eighteen inches apart in the garden, and three feet apart in
the field, and thin the plants to six inches in the drill.

PEAS—Continued.
Peas come earlier to maturity in light rich soil. For general crop a deep rich loam, or strong loam,
inclining to clay, is best. For early crops decomposed leaves or leaf mould should be used, or if the soil is very
poor, strong manure may be employed. For general crops a good dressing should be applied, and for the dwarf
growing kinds the soil can hardly be too rich. When grown as a market crop, Peas are not staked, but sown in
single rows, two or three inches deep. two to three feet apart, according to the variety. When grown in small
quantities, for private use, they are generally sown in double rows six or eight inches apart and the rows three
feetapart, the tall varieties staked up by bush. For anearly crep, sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and
make repeated sowings every two weeks for succession. A quart is sufficient for a row of about eighty feet.

There are two classes of Radishes, those for Spring and Summer
use, which are small and arrive quickly at maturity, and those for
Winter use, which are large and mature slowly, and with proper care
can be kept all Winter. The Summer Radishes should be used while
young and tender; if allowed to grow too long they become tough
and stringy; they thrive best in a light, rich soil. For a successive
supply, sow from the middle of March until September, at intervals
of two or three weeks. For an early supply, they may be sown on a
mild hotbed in February. The Winter varieties may be sown from
the latter part of July to the middle of September.

Squashes are divided into two classes,
Summer and Winter. The Summer varieties
come into use about midsummer, and are
eaten when the rind and flesh are young and
tender. The Winter varieties are left on
the vines until they are thoroughly ripe,
gathered in the Fall, and stored away for
Winter use. If well ripened and kept in a
good cellar, they can be preserved until
May. Prepare hills for the seeds by incor-
porating two or three shovelfuls of well-
rotted manure with the soil, for each hill.
For the bush varieties, from three to four
feet each way, and for the running sorts
from six to eight feet. Eight or ten seeds
should be sown to each hill, thinning out
after they have attained their rough leaves,
leaving three or four of the strongest plants.

Tobacco seed may be started in a hotbed, or sown in the open ground, as early in Spring as the
ground can be worked. Prepare a bed in rich dry ground, with a southern exposure; the bed should
Ye burned over to kill the seeds of weeds and wild grasses, or they will spring up before the Tobacco
plants and destroy them. After this is done, rake it off fine and sow the seed. A tablespoonful is
sufficient for one hundred square yards. Sow broadcast, and hand roll, or press down the soil evenly
and firmly. When the young plants appear, keep free from weeds and water frequently. If the weather
is dry, set out about the first of June, in land that has been heavily manured. Tobacco thrives best
in a light, rich, sandy or gravelly soil. Plant about three feet apart. Look out for the ‘‘Tobacco
worm,” which must be removed as fast as it appears, or it will quickly destroy the crop.

The seed should be sown in a hotbed
about the first week in March, in drills
five inches apart and half an inch deep,
When the plants are about two inches
high, they should be set out four or five
inches apart in another hotbed, or re-
moved into small pots, allowing a single
plant toa pot. About the middle of May
the plants may be setin the open ground,
at a distance of three to four feet apart,
in hills in which a good shovelful of rotted
manure has been mixed. Water freely at
the time of transplanting, and shelter from
the sun for a few days until the plants are
established. Sufficient plants for a small
garden may be started by sowing a few
seeds in a Shallow box or flower pot, and
placing it in a sunny window of the room

For the Spring crop, commence sowing early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills
fourteen inches apart; thin out the plants to five or six inches apart. Keep clear from weeds, and
when the bottoms begin to enlarge, brush away the earth from about the roots to the depth of am
inch or more, and give them a light dressing of wood ashes, This is the surest mode of obtaining
fair and smooth Spring Turnips in old gardens, where they are almost certain to grow wormy if the
earth is allowed to remain in contact with the roots. It is important to get them started very early,
so that they may have time to grow of a sufficient size before very hot weather, when they will soon
become tough and strong. For the Fall and main crop, sow from the middle of July to the last of
August, in drills as directed for the Spring sowing. In the field, Turnips are more generally sown
broadcast, though much larger crops are obtained by drill culture.
Sweet, Pot and [ledicinal Herb Seeds.
Herbs are valuable for culinary and medicinal purposes, but they do not always receive the attention
which they deserve. They are easily grown, and when preserved by drying are ready for use at any
season of the year. Sow in Spring as soon as the weather is warm, and thin out as the plants grow
up; or the seeds may be sown under glass and the young plants afterwards transplanted to their respective
beds. The perennial kinds should occasionally be divided and transplanted in Spring.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN.
The ground ought to be carefully prepared during the Winter, by draining if found requisite, and digging
to the depth of six to twelve inches, according to the nature of the soil. The land should then be leveled and
raked to remove stones, etc., and then made firm with a heavy iron roller. When the natural soil is too stony,
a supply of good mould should be spread over it to the depth of two or three inches. In March or April, before
sowing the seed, the ground ought to be thoroughly cleaned and made perfectly level with the iron roller, and
as the subsequent appearance of the lawn depends in a great measure on this part of the preparation, it is of
the utmost importance it should be well done. The ground should then be evenly raked and the seeds sown.
April and September are the best months for sowing. The seed should be sown on a calm day, at the rate of
four bushels to the acre.
After the sowing has been accomplished, the ground should be again rolled, and as soon as the young
plants have attained the height of two or three inches, the whole plot should be carefully gone over with a
sharp scythe, and from the months of April to October it should be mown eyery ten days. Mowing machines
are excellent after a comparatively close turf is established; but for the first six months’ sowing, the scythe
should be used in preference to the machine. Frequent mowing and rolling are indispensable to maintain the turf in
good order. By adopting these means a close greensward will be obtained in a short time.
For lawns requiring improvement, and on croquet grounds, where the turf has become bare through
constant use, it is only necessary to sow fresh seed at the rate of one or two bushels to the acre, either in the
Spring or Fall, using a small tooth rake, and rolling afterwards. A slight dressing of manure, late in Fall, will
often be found beneficial in encouraging the growth of finer kinds of grasses, and helps to produce a close
growing turf.

Cultivation of fklower eeds.
HARDY ANNUALS.
No class of plants or flowers is so easy of cultivation as Hardy Annuals; their brilliant and varied colors
and the readiness with which they adapt themselves to almost any soil or situation have rendered them general
favorites.
Successive sowings may be made from March to the end of September; March, April and May are the best
months for a general Summer display; June and July for Autumn blooming, and August and September for
Spring flowering. ‘The soil should be carefully prepared by being finely pulverized and made light and rich.
Sow thinly ; cover with a very thin coat of fine, dry earth—the smallest seeds needing but a mere dusting to
cover them—and from the first keep the plants thinned sufficiently to prevent overcrowding, which weakens
them and produces poor blooms.
HALF HARDY AND TENDER ANNUALS.
These include some of the most beautiful and varied of our Summer flowers, among which may be mentioned
Aster, Balsam, Ten-Weeks’ Stocks, Phlox Drummondii and Double Zinnia, which in form, size and brilliancy of
flowers, and their great diversity of color, are now brought to a high state of perfection.
Sow from the beginning of March to June; when sown in March and early part of April, sow thinly in well-
drained pots, pans or boxes; place in the greenhouse or a frame where there is a mild heat, or, in the absence of
these, a sunny window in the house will do; cover the seeds lightly, press down the soil firmly and give a gentle
watering with a fine rose water pot.
Separate the plants when large enough to handle, and finally plant out in May, as soon as the weather is
sufficiently warm, where intended to flower. The seed can be sown in the open ground in May and June.
z =
Mi Py Ne Need
Balsam. Briza—Quaking Grass. Carnation.
HARDY BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS.
These can be grown at all seasons of the year in the open garden without protection, and may therefore be
placed among the most useful of our flowering plants; their variety is almost endless, producing almost every
form of flower and shade of color. :
The seed may be sown from May to October, but the best time is in May and June. Select for sowing a
shady, moist situation, and, in order to secure fine, strong plants, sow thinly, and as soon as large enough
transplant in showery weather to nursery beds, and finally plant out in October and November; those sown in
Autumn are best planted out in March or April, where intended to flower. Many Perennials, if sown early and
treated as Annuals will flower the first season, The Pansy, Petunia, China Pink and its several splendid
varieties, and many others, do better as Annuals than Perennials.
Half Hardy Biennials and Perennials may be raised and treated in the same way as recommended for
Half Hardy Annuals.
ANNUALS FOR WINTER BLOOMING.
Many Annuals are very desirable for the greenhouse for Winter blooming; these should be sown in July or
August. The most important are Browallia, Candytutt, German Stocks, Lobelia, Mignonette, Schizanthus,
Sweet Alyssum and Dwarf Nasturtiums. Many varieties as well as the above may be sown in the Fall and
Winter for blooming early in the Spring, such as Acroclinium, Ageratum, Antirrhinum, Apple-scented Geranium,
China Pinks, Dianthus, Mimulus, Myosotis, Pansy, Petunias, Phlox Drummondii, Salpiglossis, Salvia, Verbena,
Vinea and others.

the lawn, the teeth on either side of the center performing their work perfectly, without touching
or tearing up the lawn. This feature makes the Ole Olsen Rake unapproachable for light
draught; also the head being curved, in raking throws the materials toward center of rake
and makes it easy to handle. The Rakes are also furnished when desired with Straight Heads.
The Teeth are made of extra selected stock, and so constructed that when driven into ‘the
head they will never shrink from place and cannot fall out. They have an even taper,
and in use acquire a high polish. They cannot bend, and therefore will not clog and bind like
a metal tooth.

We are pleased to offer for 1903 a new combined tool
of great excellence, which we can scarcely recommend
too highly. It combines conveniently in a single garden
implement a capital hill dropping and a continuous row
seeder with the most perfect and complete wheel hoe, cul-
tivator, rake and plow that the most practical can desire.
Designed by a practical man, itis light, compact, dur-
able and easy running, and does all its great variety of
work with a thoroughness and perfection that has never
before been attempted, much less equaled.
No. 7. ‘Planet Jr.’’ All Steel Horse
Hoe and Cultivator.
This Horse Hoe is the No. 8 without the depth regulator and
with a slightly different lever wheel. It works the same as
No. 8 in every way, ex-
cept that it lacks the per-
fect steadiness and abso-
lute control of depth
made possible by the
depth regulator.

6é ” HE ‘Planet Jr.” Double Wheel Hoe is a great favor-
PLANET JR. No. 12 ite, especially for field work. It hoes both sides of
Double Wheel Hoe, tbe row at once at the speed of a moderate walk.
A wheel hoe should be double or at least be capable of
hoeing both sides of a row at one passage. Any inequall-
ties can be accurately followed when straddling but one
row, while between two the tool must work the nar-
rowest points, and therefore be quite too narrow for the
wider parts ; nor can a person watch two rows and work
them as closely as one, even if planted accurately.

“PLANET JR.” No. 17.
Cultivator and Large Garden Plow.
SINGLE WHEEL HOES.
INGLE Wheel Hoes are lighter than the double, but do almost the same va-
S riety of work, though in a different way, being used mostly between the rows
instead of straddling them. Yet by attaching the wheel to the other side of
the arm, No. 17 can be used to hoe both sides of the row
at once while the plants are small—the most important
time.
For 1903 we offer our latest single Wheel Hoes, as the
highest type of their class, superior to any of the old
styles. They have the greatest variety of tools we have
ever offered. These adapt the implements to a greater
variety of crops, and to work
at many different distances
apart; there is scarcely any
garden culture of which they
are not capable.
The Handles are adjust-
able in height. The frame
is convenient and strong,
with quick change device,
which permits the tools to
be changed without remoy- —— = F yo

F. W. Mann Co’s
Patent Bone Cutters
Are absolutely the first Bone Cutters ever sold to the public, and
they are by far the most successful hand and power machine on the
market to-day for cutting up green bones.
Original Invention.
Nine years of practical use among poultrymen has only served to
increase their popularity and prove their necessity.
Old Methods a Failure.
Before the advent of the Mann Cutter, bones for poultry food
No. 5, B.
were broken up with a hammer or reduced in mills con-
structed with chilled or cast-iron plates. This process,
while possible with burned or thoroughly dried bones, was a
total failure for bones as they come from the market.
Corrugated Knives.
Our machine introduced for the first time corrugated
knives of the finest tool steel, accurately tempered, which
enable usto cut the hardest bone, either dry or fresh from
the market, with ease and without injury to the knives.
These knives retain a good cutting edge, without grinding,
for two or three months of ordinary use. They are adjust-
able to cut finer or coarser, can be easily removed when dull,
and can be sharpened on a common grindstone, the same
as a carpenter’s chisel.

In presenting the numerous merits of this invaluable little implement we would be

increasing the work instead of lessening it.

This Harrow is probably the best in use; being hinged, it works as well on uneven ground, and is easily
raised to discharge weeds, etc. The teeth are all fastened with nuts and washers, preventing them getting
loose, These Harrows are also made with curved teeth, when so ordered, at an additional cost of 3c. per tooth.

Double Steel Track, Put Together Before Shipping.
Fig. 644. (Ratan.)
When so required by dealers, we put track together as shown above before
shipping. The advantage of this plan is that in erecting, the only thing necessary is SA
to attach the splice clamps. Instead of old method of breaking joints in center of a
rail, we use a long heavy clamp, as shown in Fig. 641. This plan is recommended, Fig. 436. (Keesh.)
as it adds all the advantages of the single rail, and makes the double rail the most
desirable track for dealers to handle. PRICE, 10 CTS. PER FOOT.

THE BLANCHARD CHURN
The body of the Churn being cylindrical, all the cream is churned alike and at the same time, making
streaked butter impossible. Those who desire to make butter on what is called the ‘‘ granular system” can do
it perfectly with the Blanchard Churn. If we were disposed to follow the oxabe of some of our competitors,
we could add page after page of ‘‘ unsolicited” testimonials as to the
accuracy of these claims; but we simply point to our past record
and to the absolute guarantee under which all our sales are made.

can be obtained with the same amount of material by any other method. The novelty and comfort of the
Pillow and Spreader cannot be appreciated. They are highly ornamental, and as well adapted to indoor as
outdoor use. All Hammocks are tested with weight of two persons.

THE “WATER WITCH”
LAWN SPRINKLER.
PATENTED NOVEMBER 5, 1889.
In constructing this device the main object was to produce a sprinkler that would
scatter the water more evenly and over a larger area than would any other
sprinkler. This purpose has been fully realized in the ** Water Witch.’’
The water flows through the nozzle with unimpeded force, and is divided and
deflected by the two lips of the swivel piece, which it causes to revolve rapidly,
scattering the water in fine drops and evenly over a circular area of twenty-five
to forty feet diameter.
