Ele EBELING:
Ebeling’s Lawn Grass Seed
It Produces a Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green and in Four Weeks
From Sowing, it Is Ready for Mowing
A lawn made with the “Ebeling’s Lawn Grass Seed”
is practically permanent. Customers tell us that lawns
made with this mixture twenty or more years ago are
as beautiful today as when they were first made.
It should be borne in mind when considering the
making of a lawn that the cost of the seed represents
only a small part of the actual investment. The labor
cost is usually far in excess of the cost of the seed.
It is therefore false economy to save a few cents by
buying a mixture of grass seed obtained from a ques-
tionable source, only to be obliged to endure the
annoyance and expense of continually repatching a
weedy, irregular turf and perhaps being forced to do
the entive work over again in a short time.
Sunny Lawn Mixture:
The Green Carpet of Out-o’-Doors
PRICE: 1 Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 25 Ibs., $8.00.
Shady Lawns and Under Trees
This mixture is a combination of dwarf growing
grasses which thrive in shaded places. It quickly pro-
duces an abundance of lovely green grass where other
aes fail. Price: 1 lb., 45c; 5 Ibs., $2.00; 25 Ibs.,
9.25.
Golf Links — Tennis Courts — Polo
Grounds — Cricket Tables
For grounds that stand rough usage, our formula
produces an excellent turf rapidly. Per lIb., 40c.
A Real Putting Green Mixture
This mixture has been tried and tested over a period
of years. Fine bladed, low growing, with a rich green
color. The greens keeper and the golfer prefer it.
Recommended also for terraces, embankments and
steep slopes. Price: Per lb., 75c; bu. (25 Ibs.), $17.00.

Our experience of many years has taught us that a
well-balanced combination of grasses will give better
results than a single variety. Where conditions of
the seed bed are not all that could be desired, the
chances of survival are much greater than when only
one kind is sown. We offer Lawn Seed Mixtures com-
posed of the highest ingredients and in the correct
proportion.
Our Lawn Seed Mixtures contain no Timothy or any
other Grass Seeds that produce only temporary results.
We welcome the opportunity to make up for our
customers any Special Formula that they may wish,
using only the highest grade ingredients.
White Dutch Clover Seed
Excellent for use on lawns; forms a close herbage
and remains green throughout the season. We furnish
the choicest grade of seed. Lb., 95c; 10 Ibs., $9.00.
Terrace Grass For Thick Turf
Ordinary lawn grass will not hold the soil on ter-
races and embankments, which require a thick turf
consisting of varieties which make strong roots to
hold the soil and prevent damage by heavy rains. Our
selected combination mixture gives you quickly a
strong matted, velvety coverage. Price, Lb., 50c; bu.
(20 Ibs.), $9.00.
Kentucky Blue Grass
Per lIb., 45c.
Fancy Red Top
Per Ib., 35c.
Non-Warranty
We give no warranty, express or implied, as to de-
scription, purity, productiveness, or any other matter
of any seeds or bulbs we send out, and we will not be
in any way responsible for the crop.
We are not bound for any definite time or quantity
by the prices quoted in this catalog, and they are sub-
ject to change without notice. We recommend that
you order as early as possible.

While the rockery is usually filled
with Hardy Perennial plants, most of
which take a year to produce flower-
ing plants from time of sowing the
seeds in the spring, there seems to be
no good reason why the newly made
trockery should not be filled with
annuals he first season. These should
be sown in April or May, and would
produce a full crop of flowers within
eight weeks or even less, from time
of sowing, keeping the rockery gay
until filled with the Hardy perennials.

Summer Flowering Bulbs
AMARYLLIS
Ebeling’s Giant American Hybrids
A wonderful strain of new Giant
flowered Amaryllis, of free-flowering
habit. The large flowers are composed
of broad, well rounded, overlapping
petals and range in colors varying ¢
from crimson to orange-scarlet, light
. rose to white to the richest self-col-
f orings and combinations of stripes
and variegations.
Tuberous-rooted Begonias
This is an interesting section, valu-
able as pot plants and for garden
beds. The flowers vary considerably
as to form and size, ranging from 2
to 4 and even 6 inches across. While
some of the single ones are perfectly
smooth, others are fluted or distinctly
fringed. The colors are delightfully
vivid and distinct.
When grown outside, should be
taken up before cold weather, spread
out to dry, and be packed away in
boxes of dry sand, and stored through
the winter in some cool place, yet
: not where frost can reach them. Be-
eee fore planting outside in the spring,
they should be potted and kept inside until well started. They delight in a partially
shaded location in soils composed of leaf mold, sand and well rotted manure.

CELERY
Sellerie (Ger.) Sedano (It.)
Culture. Celery seed is slow to germinate, and
ample time must be given. Sow thinly; cover
lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about
7,500 plants per ounce of seed, or % pound per
acre. When the seedling plants are three inches
high they should be clipped at the top, to favor
stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is
mostly grown under flat culture, without trenches,
in rows 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart in row.
COLUMBIA. An exceptionally fine, early variety,
is of medium height, but very stocky. Stalks
are thick, almost round, are of a rich, yellow
color, and its fine flavor and crispness will please
SSG critical. Pkt. 10c; oz., 40c; %4 Ib.,

best celery for early use. It is in condition as
early in the fall as any, and we have yet to find
an extra early sort equal in quality and appear-
ance to our stock of Golden Yellow Self-
Blanching. Critical gardeners and consumers
generally depend upon this variety to produce
their best early celery. Plants of medium size,
compact and stocky—with yellowish green foli-
age. As they mature the inner stems and leaves
turn a beautiful golden yellow, so that blanching
is effected at a small expense of time and labor.

SWEET CORN—Is the Supreme Garden Crop
GILL’S GOLDEN EARLY. Ears 5 to 6 inches long, 10 to 12 rows of yellow kernels
of good quality, stalk about 4 feet. Season 60 days. A good early market garden
sort. Lb., 25c; 10 lIbs., $2.25.
KINGSCROSS GOLDEN BANTAM. This new Corn is bred for wilt resistance, high
yield, and superlative quality. Matures 4 to 5 days later than Golden Bantam.
Stalks 6 feet high and usually bear 2 ears having 10 to 14 rows of light golden
yellow kernels. A most profitable market variety. This Corn when ripe cannot
be used for seed, however. Lb., 40c; 10 Ibs., $3.50.
GOLDEN SUNSHINE or IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM. Golden Sunshine is
one week earlier than the Early Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. Very fine. Un-
usually sweet and early 12-row. It’s the market gardener’s best crop for profit.
Lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.
GOLDEN BANTAM. The best of all the yellow varieties. Stalks often have 2 ears.
Ears 8-rowed; kernels broad, tender, sweet, and of exceptional flavor. Lb., 25c;
10 Ibs., $2.25.
GOLDEN BANTAM CORN (Burbank Strain). Ready for table use 65 to 70 days

SWEET CORN—Continued
BLACK MEXICAN. This corn, when in condition for the table, cooks a bluish
black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and is a most desirable second
early sort. Ears about 8 inches: long, usually 8-rowed. 1 lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.
GOLDEN EVERGREEN SWEET CORN. New variety, extra fine, very sweet and
tender, and keeps in eating condition longer than most sweet corns. Ten days
to two weeks earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen. Across with Stowell’s Evergreen
and Sweet Orange, which is a second early, yellow, very tender and extra sweet
variety. 1 lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25.
EARLY EVERGREEN. We have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that
were claimed to be earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to be just as good, but
we have never found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we
offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come
into fit condition for use much earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to remain
in condition quite as long. Ears about 7 inches long, with 14 to 20 more or
less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best quality.
Plants average from 64% to 7 ft. high and in ear resemble those of Stowell’s
Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more uniform. A standard
main crop variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning.
1 Ib., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. 1 Ib., 25c; 10 Ibs. $2.25.
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. There is no sweet corn that compares with the Country
Gentleman for sweetness. It is the variety par excellence where quality is
desired. Market gardeners who make a specialty of growing for hotels and
high class restaurant trade use this as a main crop in preference to any other.
For home use it will be found superior and it is very productive. The fact that
it is a favorite variety with canners proves its merit. 1 lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.

MELONS
To Fit Your Growing Season.
Melone (Ger.) Popone (It.)
The Muskmelon succeeds best in warm, rich soil.
While both plant food and humus are necessary to
all plants, all vines require an extra amount. Manure
contains both, while rotted turf and commercial fer-
tilizer combined supply both. If manure is used it
should be well rotted, finely pulverized and evenly
distributed through the soil.

PkKt., 10c; 0z., 35c; Ib., $3.50.
WHITE PORTUGAL. (American Silverskin). This
is the best sort to sow—for onion sets or for pick-
ling; sown thickly for either it makes a small,
round, hard bulb. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; Ib., $3.25.
AILSA CRAIG. A handsome globular variety, grow-
ing to an enormous size, with pale yellow skin,
flesh white, a good keeper and valuable for exhibi-
tion purposes. Very fine for home gardens. Pkt.,
10c; 0z., 35c; Ib., $3.50.
LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD. We have a very fine
and select strain of this sort. Color is deep pur-
plish red, flesh white, moderately grained and very
firm. Yields an enormous amount per acre, and

onions are, setting them out in the spring instead
of sowing seed. Qt., 30c; bu., $7.00.
YELLOW BOTTOM SETS. Like the preceding except
in color and used in the same manner. &t., 30c;
bu., $7.00.
WHITE BOTTOM SETS. These do not keep as well
as the brown and yellow, but produce beautiful
white onions early in the season. Qt., 30c; bu., $7.00.
PARSLEY
Petersille (Ger.) Prezzemolo (It.)
Culture. Sow seeds in shallow drills in the early spring
for border, or in rows 1Z to 13 inches apart, care being
taken that the drills be not more than one-half inch in
depth, and that the seed be well pressed down after sowing,
as the seed germinates very slowly, 3 to 5 weeks elapsing
sometimes before it makes its appearance. Use one ounce
to 150 feet of drill, three pounds to an acre. Cultivate
frequently.
PLAIN PARSLEY. The leaves of this variety are flat, deeply
cut but not curled. Very desirable for flavoring soups
and stews and for drying. It is a favorite on account
of its very dark green leaves, as well as its hardiness.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., $1.50.
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED. This is a vigorous, compact
growing variety, excellent for garnishing and flavoring.
A handsome decorative plant. Leaves very finely cut and
so closely crisped or curled as to resemble bunches of
moss. Fine deep green color and very attractive foliage.
Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ib., $1.50.
Parsley was first known in Sardinia.
PARSNIPS
Pastinake (Ger.) Pastinaca (It.)
Culture. Sow in early spring, in rows 2 to 8 ft. apart,
thin to 4 or 6 inches in the row. One ounce of seed will
sow 200 feet of drill, four to five pounds per acre in drills
2% feet apart. Cover the seed one-half inch. Use rotted
manure and fertilizer. Parsnips may be left in the ground
all winter.
IMPROVED HOLLOW CROWN. This really is the greatest
old-time favorite among the parsnips and has a host of
friends which it will never lose. It is very smooth, white,
with a very thick shoulder and tapering down to a grace-
ful point. One of the best known, none better. Pkt., 10c;
oz., 15c; Ib., $1.00.
GUERNSEY. (Same as Hollow Crown). Greatly improved
strain. The roots do not grow as long as the Hollow
Crown, but are of greater diameter and very easily gath-
ered. A very heavy cropper. Roots very smooth. Flesh
fe eae and of excellent quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c;
Ib., $1.00.
Champion Moss Curled Parsley
PEAS
Your Own Peas Are Sweetest
Erbsen (Ger.) Piselli (It.)
For early peas the soil should be light and
warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy
soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or
wet mucky soil should be avoided, as they
cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the
quality of the peas. Such soil is often the cause
of early sorts maturing unevenly. Sow as early
as possible a few of some early variety on
warm, quick soil, prepared the fall before, plant-
ing in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart and 2%
to 4 feet between the double rows.
EARLIEST OF ALL or ALASKA. Medium
sized, bright green peas of good flavor. Vines
medium height, 2% to 3 feet, and of distinc-
tive light color. Pods about 2% to 2% inches
long. Matures all the crop at once. Lb., 30c;
2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.
LAXTONIAN. A little earlier than other dwarf
large-podded peas, this variety is generally
considered the best of its class. The blue-
green pods are often more than 4 inches long
and contain 8 dark green peas of finest qual-
ity. It is especially recommended for home
garden use. The seeds are large, wrinkled;
green and cream in color. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs.,
50c; 10 lbs., $2.25.

THOMAS LAXTON. A very early, wrinkled variety of great merit. Vine vigorous,
of medium height, about 3 feet, similar to that of Gradus, but darker in color,
hardier and more productive. Pods large, often 4 inches long, with square ends,
similar to but larger, longer and darker than those of Champion of England and
as uniformly well filled. The green peas are very large, of fine deep color and
unsurpassed in quality. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.
Second Early Varieties
ALDERMAN. This comparatively new pea is in many respects the very best early
main crop variety of the valuable Telephone type. The vines are tall growing,
about 4% to 5 feet high, dark green, vigorous and exceedingly productive. Pods of
largest size, often 5 to 5% inches long, dark green. The peas are of largest size and unsurpassed in

inches long, pointed, dark green, and uniformly filled with very large, dark
green peas of the finest quality. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.
CHAMPION OF ENGLAND. A very productive variety universally admitted
to be one of the richest and best flavored of the late peas. The vines are
4 to 5 feet high. The seed is light green and much shriveled. Very inferior
and mixed stocks of this sort are frequently offered, but when the seed is
as well grown and selected as. that which we offer we consider the variety
equal in quality to any in cultivation and one of the best of its season, either
for the home garden or market gardener. Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c; 10 Ibs., $2.25.

Lb., 30c; 2 Ibs., 50c. z RecE eet ea menee
TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM PEA LOUSE. Sow a strip of turnip seed
about 5 feet wide around the field of peas, which will attract the peauanedl
and will feed upon the turnip instead of the peas; thus preventing the de-
struction of the crop. Sow early turnips with Early Peas and late turnips
with Late Peas. This has been given to us by an expert grower who claims
it to be a sure remedy.
Peas are of Egyptian origin.

PEPPER—Sweet or Hot
Pfeffer (Ger.) Peperone (It.)
Peppers are most largely used for seasoning meat
and vegetable dishes; also for making chow chow and
chili sauce. The culture is the same as for eggplant
and the plants need quite as much heat to perfect
them. Sow seed early in hotbed, or about middle
of spring in open seed bed, the soil being light and
warm. When 3 inches high transplant in rows about
24% feet apart and 2 feet apart in the row.
WORLD BEATER. This is the finest large pepper
yet introduced. A cross between Chinese Giant
and Ruby King, as early as Ruby King and similar
in shape, but broader at blossom end. Almost the
size of Chinese Giant and far more prolific, some
plants producing as many as 24 marketable peppers.
Exceptionally mild, can be eaten raw without fear
of burning. Color of fruit green at first, turning
to a beautiful shade of scarlet. Flesh thick, which
enables it to hold up a long time and makes it an
excellent shipper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; %4 lb., $1.50.
CRIMSON GIANT. The earliest maturing of the ex-
tremely large, red sweet peppers and surpassed by
none in evenness of size and shape. The plant is
vigorous, 244 to 3 feet high. The fruits are of the
largest size, ripen earlier than any of the other very
large sorts. Color deep green when young, deep
crimson when matured; flavor very mild. Oz., 45c;
14 Ib., $1.50.
LARGE EARLY NEAPOLITAN. Decidedly the earli-
est of all large, mild, red peppers and the most
productive of all large peppers. The fruit measures
4 inches long and 4% inches in circumference.
The strong, vigorous plants grow 2 feet high by
18 inches across. They are heavily laden with large
handsome fruit and bear continuously until frost.
Single plants carry from 35 to 50 marketable fruits
at one time. Skin and flesh bright red; mild as an
apple. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.00.

variety having a slender, twisted and pointed pod
about 4 inches long. Color deep green when fruit
is young, bright red when ripe. Extremely strong
and pungent flesh. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.25.
LARGE BELL or BULL NOSE. Our stock of this
well known variety, sometimes called Sweet Moun-
tain, is very superior. Plant vigorous, about 2 feet
high, compact and very productive, ripening its
crop uniformly and early. The fruits are large,
with thick, mild flesh of excellent quality for use
in salads and mangoes or stuffed peppers. The

MODERN SPINACH
Spinat (Ger.) Spinace (It.)
Spinach came from Arabia.
KING OF DENMARK. Also known as “Antvorskov.”
This new variety is undoubtedly the most valuable
introduction of spinach in recent years. Although
the plants are ready for use almost as soon as the
medium early sorts they remain in good condition
from a week to two weeks after all other varieties
have gone to seed. The plants are of rapid growth,
resemble the Long Season in type but leaves are
more crumpled or blistered and are of darker green
color. The leaves are thick, stand well after cutting
and are of good quality. We believe this variety
will in a few years be one of the leading sorts as
its distinctive qualities are sure to win favor for
it from both the home and market gardener.

Tomatoes of all Types and Flavors
Liebesapfel (Ger.) |Promodori (It.)
As tomatoes are very sensitive to frost, they cannot
be set in the open field until-about May 1st. The
seed must be sown in well protected hotbeds, sowing
same about March ist. A hardy and stocky plant is
had by transplanting the small, plants in the bed a
few weeks before transplanting {fo the field. Or when
about 4 inches high, the top may be pinched off and
the plant grows stockier. : uh i
Sow the seed broadcast, using: one ounce to about
8 square feet.of area, which will yield plants enough
to set an acre. In the field set tall varieties 6 feet

Ideal Mangel Beets
This wonderful Mangel is a perfect chunk of beet, being as
large at the bottom as at the top. Stands two-thirds above
ground. Is easily harvested even on hard soils. This new and
original Mangel has been tested alongside 30 other Mangels by
strict laboratory tests on trial grounds and field demonstrations,
ee Brea to be ideal and superior in quality. Lb., $1.40; 10
Bs, .50.
BEETS SEVENTEEN POUNDS SAYS MR. ROBERTS
Ideal Mangel Beet—grown by Earl Roberts, Sauquoit, N. Y.
The left beet weighs 17 pounds and the other weighed nearly as
much. Mr. Roberts has grown these Mangels for years with won-
derful results. These Mangels will keep until June and even
longer. Increases the quality and flow of milk, keeps cows in
better health, less grain and ensilage is required where Ideal
Mangel beets are fed, as Mr. Roberts does. Also, fine for poultry
—increasing quality and quantity of eggs and quality of meat
when killed for market.

Planet Jr. No. 17 Singl
Wheel Hoe :
Planet Jr. Single Wheel Hoes are light, easily handled and
do beautiful work. They are all steel except the handles—
practically indestructible. Handles are adjustable for any
height. No. 17 includes all the necessary equipment for gar-
dening-—hoes for weeding and shallow cultivation—three
steel cultivator teeth for general cultivation—and a plow for
furrowing, ridging, etc.
Planet Jr. No. 12 Double
Wheel Hoe
Planet Jr. Double Wheel Hoes are almost universally used
by professional vegetable growers. They will straddle the crop
both sides of the row at once and until the plants are 20
inches high. The No. 12 includes all the equipment usually
required for gardening—a pair of hoes for shallow cultivating
and weeding, four steel cultivator teeth for general cultiva-
tion and a pair of plows for hilling, furrowing, etc. A long
bolt and ferrule are furnished for changing to a single wheel
hoe for later cultivation.
No. 2 Planet Jr. Grass Edger
With the No. 2 Planet Jr. Edger you can edge either
straight or curved walks on cement, stone or bricks
rapidly and easily. The sharp edging disc is made of
high grade steel and will last for years. The tool is
extremely simple and easy to operate and has nothing
to get out of order.
Lifetime Garden Trowels
Planet Jr. Lifetime Garden Trowels are guaranteed
not to bend or break. They are perfectly balanced so
they fit lightly and naturally into your hand without
tiring your fingers or wrist. The steel used is the best
and hardest and is further hardened in an oil furnace
and tempered in an electric one. The bulb trowel is
extra long and narrow and three notches—3, 4, and
5 inches from the point to help you plant your bulbs
at a uniform depth.

and Single Wheel Hoe
A combination of the most useful tools for a mod-
erate sized garden. Plants almost all vegetable seeds
in continuous rows, or in hills 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches
apart. An adjustable plow opens a straight narrow
furrow, the seeds are dropped in it, are covered and
the soil firmed and the next row marked out all in the
same operation. Converted into a single wheel hoe by
changing one bolt. Cultivating equipment includes all
the essential equipment for hoeing, weeding, cultivat-
ing, plowing, furrowing, ridging, etc. The tools are
oil hardened and tempered and will wear almost in-
definitely. Price, $18.75.
No. 4D Seeder only, price $14.75.
HT Planet Jr. Walking Tractor
The Planet Jr. Tractor pays for itself in many ways. Pri-
marily it either takes the place of several men or of one
horse, and it doesn’t have to be fed and cared for when it is
not working.
For the general farmer or the market gardener, the part-
time gardener or the large home gardener, the nurseryman
cr the florist. The Planet Jr. Tractor with its varied equip-
ment is designed for all of them and with it goes the great
advantage of Planet Jr.’s long experience in building the best
planting and tillage tools.
Plowing, harrowing, cultivating, fertilizing, mow-
ing, hauling, sawing, and many other light power jobs
are the things which Planet Jr. will do. Cultivating
is the most important because it is an all-season job.
Planet Jr. equipment includes every type of cultivator
whether for narrow or wide rows, small or large crops,
or one or more rows at a time. Most soil conditions
and crop requirements can be met with Planet Jr.
equipment and with our patented tool control, fast,
thorough cultivation is not only possible but surpris-
ingly easy.

READ THE BEST TRUE DOG STORY OF
ALL TIME
When one fond parent of ancient Pompeii
gave his child a dog, he little thought that
the record of their comradeship would go
down to the future as the finest dog story
of all time. For nearly two thousand years
its details lay buried beneath the debris of
the ruined city. Last century the picks of
the excavators revealed them.
Near to the body of a little boy, they came
upon that of a huge dog, its limbs contorted
with agony and pain. Still legible was the
inscription in Latin on its massive bronze
collar: “This dog has three times saved his
little master; once from fire, once from
drowning, once from thieves.”
This story, which has the merit of being
true, is one which could be told to any child
who had a dog. It is calculated to make him
think of the dog less as a toy and more as
a chum and protector. A dog will teach a
child kindness by giving him something on
which to express kindliness; it will exem-
plify for him the qualities of devotion and
loyalty, the spirit of “give and take,” and
“forgive and forget.” Not all our moral and
spiritual mentors have such good qualifications as
teachers of the young.

Maro Meat is an all meat product, used chiefly in
kennels where meat, muscle building and perfect con-
dition and ability to withstand the strenuousness of
the hunting season require richer foods. We use Maro
Meat at Pet Haven by adding to it water, mashing into
a thin soup, then thickening it with Chappel’s Ken-L-
Biskit. We have used this mixture at our kennels for
about 9 years and have been congratulated many times
on the appearance of dogs left in our care.

infection. They are a proven, tested formula, which has been dispensed
by veterinarians for years, by pet owners and breeders as a conditioner.
They do not affect the appetite, digestive system or any normal function,
and may be administered to puppies or grown dogs and cats.
EASILY USED
Dist-R-Tabs may be mixed with food if preferred. Immediately at the
first signs of loss of appetite, diarrhea, hacking cough, musty odor,
coughing up and reclaiming phlegm—Dist-R-Tabs should be given.

Beautiful Sea Shells
“T became fascinated with the Tropical Fish—eight large illuminated tanks, Betta
arranged to give the effect of a living moving picture of water life and beauty.
Above the display, I noted a sign, “Aquatic Art Gallery.’”’ I was fascinated as
I saw tiny fish that resembled miniature silver sail-boats as they moved about.
They seemed too fragile to be really living fish. We were told that they were F&
Pterophyllum Scalare,’ commonly called ‘Angel Fish’ and native of the Amazon
River, and cost only 25c each.
“In an adjoining tank, labeled ‘The Danio,’ were to be seen most beautiful
silver and dark blue striped fish, brought all the way from Bengal, India,
darting among the green ribbon-like plants, called ‘Vallisneria.’ Bright red
snails moved slowly, cleaning away the green algae upon which they feed.
An armored Cat-Fish, called ‘Cordydoras Leopardus’ was doing duty as a
scavenger by finding food and vegetation off the bottom of the aquarium.
“Another fish, a most colorful one, was ‘Betta Splendens’ or ‘The Fighting }
Fish of Siam,’ so named because fish fights upon which wagers are placed,
are staged by natives. To see a well-developed male with fins and gills spread,
ready to attack his reflection in a mirror I held near his tank, was a sight ,
I shall never forget.
“Snow-white Corals, miniature Weathered Ships, small Spanish Treasure
Chests containing beautiful jewels, moss-covered anchors, sea-shells among
tufa stones on the white sandy bottom—gave such a picture of beauty that
I resolved to have an aquarium of my own. a

The joyful song of a Canary fills one’s home with wonderful good cheer and can change an
atmosphere of gloom to one of happiness in a few moments. i
Canaries need little care, as they require little attention, yet they give us much in return.
Cages now are inexpensive. They add color and brightness to the home. The cost of main-
taining a Canary is very little. A Canary would be an inspiration to every home.
As a gift to a shut-in or invalid, and to teach children responsibility—a Canary has no equal.

Is a very fascinating pastime. German families in the
Hartz Mountains have enjoyed this work for genera-
tions. On Saint Valentine’s Day, the male and female
are put together—for their patron saint is thought to
bring about a happy mating. Five eggs are, as a rule,
laid. Fourteen days are required to bring forth feath-
erless infants. In four weeks they are out of the nest
and mother and daddy are building a new nest for the
next family.
We supply all necessary breeding equipment, foods
and accessories. Also practical books on the subject.

Cats, to be a pleasure to look upon and to fill that friendly feeling
in the mind and loving spot in the heart, must be in good health
and form. Success with cats, whether for exhibition, breeding or
home comfort, depends upon the condition in which they are kept
and the care bestowed upon them. Exercise is especially necessary
for cats in city homes, and the catnip ball is a desirable aid in this

‘Just a Cat Much Loved’’
A little old common New York City alley cat was buried
with high honors the other day in a private animal burying
ground at Scarborough, N. Y. Its name was Tammany and
it had protected the reporters and policemen around City
Hall, in New York City, from rats for many years, All
their guns and poison couldn’t do what the eyes and nose
of an ordinary tiger cat could do. One day Tammany was
found unconscious in a phone booth by one of the reporters.
Deputy Mayor Henry H. Curran rushed him to a hospital
and Dr. J. R. Kinney, chief of the staff, worked nearly all
night in a fruitless effort to save its life. More than 1000
telephone inquiries came to the hospital during the night
asking about Tammany’s condition. James Speyer, New
York banker, expressed his feeling by furnishing burial
space in a small animal graveyard which he and his wife
established some years ago on their place near Scar-
borough, on the Hudson. And there, next day, as morning
sunlight was streaming across the Hudson, quietly, peace-
fully, lamented by newspapermen and policemen, Tam-
many, little old alley cat, was laid to rest.
