GARDENING. 



June 75, 



FROM NOW UNTIL 



July 10th, Not Later. 



There is no mnre useful garden material than what are known as Dutch Bulbs, 

 Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissi, Crocus, etc. They give for a small outlay of time and 

 money an abundance of flowers in the house from December until April, and in the 

 garden almost before the snow is off the ground in the spring until the middle of May. 

 These bulbs are grown almost exclusively in Holland, and in enormous quantities, 

 where they are sold at very low prices. Usually they pass through the hands of two 

 dealers, and more than double in price before reaching the retail buyer in America. 



By ordering from me now instead of waiting until fall, you save from 25 to 50 per cent, 

 in cost, get a superior quality of bulbs, not usually to be obtained at any price in 

 this country, and have a much larger list of varieties to select from. My orders are 

 selected and packed in Holland, and are delivered to my customers in the original 

 packages immediately upon their arrival from Holland, perfectly fresh and in the 

 best possible condition. 



If you wish to take advantage of my very low prices, 1 must have your order not later 

 than July ioth, as I import Bulbs to order only. They need not be paid for until 

 after delivery, or taken if not of a satisfactory quality. 



My price-list is now ready, and may be had for the asking.

The Capacity Question 



When dilTerent heaters of same actual 

 capacity are rated differently, something's 

 wrong. At least one of the heaters is over- 

 rated. Won't do work claimed for it. It'll 

 mean a ln-ater failure. Heating contrac- 

 tors know th;it the 400 "TROPIC" HOT 

 WATER HEATER, and all heaters formerly 

 made for American I toiler Co., are nol 

 over-rated, that they have just the eap- 

 acities th<- manufacturers say they have.
