English Gooseberries 



Editor, The Canadian Horticultxirist : 



The article on growing English gooseberries 

 in the November issue deeply interested me 

 We have never had any trouble with the 

 Industry and we have tried quite a planting 

 of Whitesmith and Crown Bob. 



These varieties we were warned not to 

 buy because English gooseberries could not 



be grown in this country. We had no 

 difficulty whatever in keeping the fur off 

 of them by early spraying with potassium 

 sulphide, and we harvested an extremely big 

 crop of handsome, large berries. — H. B. 

 Fullerton, Director, Agricultural Develop- 

 ment, Long Island Railroad Company, 

 Huntingdon, N.Y.

 the parts oV 

 our No. 1317 

 Telephone Set to 

 fully appreciate its 

 superiority. For ex

 demands an extra loud 

 gong — you're liable to be 

 quite a piece away when it 

 rings and it's of little use un

•yHAT'S what a telephone says to every man on whose wall it hangs. 

 * It's a good servant — is a telephone — a mighty good servantand al- 



ways ready and waiting for you the moment you want it. And not 



only is it there for business, but it stands for pleasure as well. 



Think what a convenience, — what a deal of comfort, — it 



would be for you in the long, lonesome winter evenings, 



when the snow is piled mountain-high in every path 



and road. Orsupposeyou needed adoctor on one of 



those evenings— just suppose. Well, if you have 



less you always hear it. The 

 gong we use is made of brass — 

 a big one— and produces fully 50 

 per cent. more noise than any other 

 gong for farm use. The gong posts 

 are mounted directly on the ringer 

 frame so that even the warping of the in- 

 strument cannot change the adjustment 



Our Newly 



Designed 



No. 1317 Type 



Telephone 



Set 



is also equipped with our new type No. 

 38 ringer, a very sensitive and efficient 

 ringer operating with only one-third to 

 one-fourth thecurrent required for other 

 ringers in use on farm 'phones. The 

 cabinet, or wooden part of this tele- 

 phone is thevery finestquality and 

 finish of quarter-sawed oak — in 

 point of mere appearance this 

 instrument is an ornament 

 to any wall. Of course this 

 means nothing, unless 

 the service it gives is 

 of the very best ; but 

 consistent with 



telephone — but you know the story 



There's only one way fora story like that 



to end if your telephone's a good instrument— 



if it doesn't get out of order— if it doesn't 



failyouatthecritical moment— in short, 



if it's a "Northern Electric." "Ycu

a never-ending journey back— 



and — perhaps — a life.

MO. 1317 



'is equip- 

 ped with our 

 new No. 48-A 

 generator — a 

 generator whose 

 efficiencyisgreater, 

 and which will ring a 

 greater numberof tele- 

 phones on a longer line 

 than any generator on the 

 market. Thousands of 

 these generators are operat- 

 ingonlinesmore than30miles 

 long with ES many as 40 tele- 

 phoneson thesameline. Indeed, 

 in one case, en a line approximate- 

 ly 75 miles lorg, there are 75 sets. 

 While this is really too great a load, it is 

 of interest as indicating the wonderful 

 strength of this generator. Consider this. 



And Some 

 Of Its 

 Principal 

 Exclusive 

 Features 



such as the fact that the armature is 

 normally short circuited so as to give it 

 complete protection against damage by 

 lightning. The act of turning the crank, 

 automatically connects the gener:;tor 

 to the line — and this circuit is again 

 broken as soon as the crank is re- 

 leased. All magnets are made of 

 a special steel so as to insure 

 theirretainingtheir strength 

 indefinitely. Remember 

 this is a five bar gener- 

 tor and fully fifteen 

 per cent, more effici- 

 ent than any other 

 generatoron themar- 

 ket. Speciallyadap- 

 ted for use on long 

 heavily loaded 

 rural lines.
