THIS WASHER 



MUST PAY FOR 



ITSELF. 



A HAN tried to aei' m? a h^rw once. Tie 9^ 

 l\ tt was a Qiie horse and bad ncitbini; the mat 

 *■ ■'ter with It Iwanteda6nebot3e,but,l<U(lot 

 jnow a n y t h 1 n K about ^eJP^S^- 

 Sorsesmuch- Aaaldidnt 

 linow the man very well 

 either. 



So I told him ( wanted to 

 try the horse for ? month. 

 He said "AU right," but 

 pay me first, and I'll give 



fou back your money If 

 he horse isn't all right.'' j 



Well, 1 didn t like that • 

 I was afraid the horse i 

 was'nt "all right" and that I. 

 I might nave to whistle for f4 

 my money if i once parted rj 

 with it. Soldidnt buythc '^ 

 horse, although 1 wanted • 

 it badly. Now, this set me J 

 thinking, U 



You see I make Wash-i 

 ing Machines-the "1900^ 

 (iravity" Washei — 



And I said to n-.yself lotsot peopi, may thluS 

 about my Washing Machine as i thought about 

 the horse, and about the man whooivned It 



But I'd never know because they wouldn't 

 write and tell me. You see I sell my Washing 

 Machines by maiU 1 have sold over half a mil- 

 lion that way. So. thought I, It is only fair 

 enough to let people trv my Washing Macliines 

 for a month, before they pay for them just as I 

 wanted to try the horse, „. 



Now,! know what our "IflOO Grairtty" Washer 

 will da^l know It will wash the clothes, without 

 wearing or tearing them, in less than half th« 

 time they can he washed by baud or by any otber 

 machine. , „ , '-j,,^ 



J know It will waaO a tub JuU o£ very dirty 

 clothes in Six Minutes. I Itnow no other machine 

 ever invented can do that, without wearing the 

 clothes. Our "1900 Gravity" Washer doea the. 

 work 80 easy that a child caii run It ajnostai 

 well as a strong woman, and Jt don t wear tl-e 

 clothes, fray the edges, nor break buttons, the 

 way all other machines do. 



It Just drives soapy water clear through the 

 fibres of the clothes like a force pump might. 



So, said I to myself, 1 will do with my "1900 

 Gravity" Washer what 1 wanted the min to do 

 with the norse. Onlj 1 won t wait for people to 

 ask me. I'll offer nrst, and I U make good the 

 offer every time. 



Let me send you a "1900 Gravity" Washer on a 

 month's free trial. I'll pay the freight out of 

 my own pocket, and If you don't want the ma 

 chine after you've used It a month, I'll taielt 

 back and pay the £relgbt.too. Surely that is fair 

 enough, Isnt It. ^f^ , . 



Doesn't it prove that the "1900 Gravity" 

 Washer must be all that I fay It is » 



And you can pay me out of what It saves for 

 you. It will save its whole cost In a few months 

 In wear and tear on the clothes alone. And then 

 It will lave 50 to 75 cents a week over that In 

 washwoman's wages. If you keep the machine 

 after the month's trial, I'll let you pay tor it out 

 of what It saves you. If It saves you CO cents a 

 week, send me 60 cents a week 'v'lf paid for. I U 

 take that cheerfully, and I'll wait for my money 

 until the machhie itself earns the balance. 



Drop me a Una to-day, and let me set. i yoti a

An Exhibit of Merit 



Messrs. Ross & Son, Toronto Nurseries, 

 in addition to their usual exhibit of nur- 

 sery stock at the Toronto Exhibition, show- 

 ed a number of fine specimens of the Eng- 

 lish Laurel, variegated Silver and Golden 

 Hollies, Eng-lish Ivies, variegated Japamese 

 Euonymus, Ketinosporas in variety, Speci- 

 men Boxwood, both pyramidal and globe, 

 and different sized Bay Trees, Rhododen- 

 dnons, and Japanese Maples. They are 

 endeavoring to popularize these half-hardy 

 broad-leaved evergreens, and to show how 

 easy it is to decorate home grounds with 

 clumps and single specimens of those 

 beautiful plants. They can be lifted with 

 ease before winter and stored in the cellar 

 with a little earth thrown over the roots. In 

 the spring they may again be planted out 

 on the lawn or garden, where they arc 

 ven\' effective on account of their novelty 

 and beauty. They are splendid substitutes 

 for palms in the sunrooms, halls or green- 

 houses. 



The Cupressus Lawsoniana, Triumph ot 

 Boskeep or Blue Cypress was much admir- 

 ed It is hardy in Toronto, two fine speci- 

 mens having been growing for years in 

 the St. Clair district. 



Ross & Son, besides the usual line of 

 ornameint;il trees and shrubs, have many 

 other evergreens, such a Magnolias, Kal- 

 mias. Deodar Cedars, Irish Yews, and 

 Junipers. They invite intending planters 

 to inspect their stock at the Nurseries, and 

 will be pleased to mail their catalogue to 

 any address or give information on any 

 subject relating to Horticulture on appli- 

 cation.— Ross & Son, 1167 '.Queen St. E.,

Possible Western Outlet 



Dr. J. W. Rosi,. Canadian Trade Agent, Shan|hai, China 



British Columbia fruit packers will do 

 well to study the China market, for it has 

 great possibilities of a demand for the pno- 

 ducts which they can supply. British jams 

 and marmalade, United States tinned fruits, 

 vegetables and preserves, and Australian 

 jams have for years had a quite eix^ensive 

 sale in all the open ports of China, and the 

 demand will surely increase. 



In promoting this trade, the same points 

 must be observed as those applying to can- 

 densed milk. In the case of jams, glass 

 containers would have the best appearance. 

 All labels must be attractive, and the word 

 Canada or Canadian must always appear. 

 Good articles of this class when put up in 

 an attractive manner will always find a 

 readv sale in the China market. 



Packing Fruit for Exhibition 



E. F. Palmer, Toronto, Ont., Atsutant Provincial 

 Horticnltnrift 



It seems to be the general opinion of 

 those -unfamiliar with wrapping that it 

 adds considerably to the cost of packing. 

 As a matter of fact, the cost of paper for 

 wrapping is almost saved by the weight of 

 fruit displaced by the paper. Furthermore 

 experienced packers can do as quick or 

 even quicker work wrapping than with- 

 out. Again, it is easier to secure the pro- 

 per bulge with wrapping, as the firmness 

 of the pack can be varied considerably 

 from the middle of the pack to the ends 

 without injuring the pack in any way. The 

 principle of this has already been dealt 

 with in "Bulge." Wrapping also allows 

 more latitude in the style of pack. In fact, 

 i: is easier by far to pack wrapped apples
