AN OLD RKLIABIiB SEED FIBM. 



We have just received the annual catalog of that 

 old reliable seed-house, D. M. Ferry & Co , Detroit, 

 Mich. The cover pages are handsome color illus- 

 trations of scenes in Belle Isle Park, in Detroit. 

 The firm of Ferry is so well known to all gardeners 

 and farmers that it is almost a work of supereroga- 

 tion to make any remarks about thpm. Their trade 

 extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from 

 Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico — and, in fact, 

 further, for they send seeds to the islands < 1 the 

 sea. They do a large business in farmers' seeds for 

 the vegetable-garden. In addition the farmers' 

 wives also buy considerable quantities of flower- 

 seeds for the proper adornment of the rural home. 

 Some good housewives will have none but Ferry's 

 seeds. When you send for their catalog, mention 

 this journal. 



THE " OLD TBUSTY " INCUBATORS. 



One of the most reliable poultry concerns we 

 know of is the M. M. Johnson Co., of Clay Center, 

 Neb , who manufacture the well known Old Trusty 

 incubators. One of the important features of these 

 incubators is the California redwood of which they 

 are made. This is one of the best furniture woods 



known, having the striking advantage of not ex- 

 panding with the wet atmosphere nor contracting 

 with a dry one. It is, furthermore, a wood of great 

 durability and beauty, being much used by piano- 

 makers. Another valuable feature of this machine 

 is the absence of the lever arm on top, which gene- 

 rally happens to be in the way, more especially 

 when some person throws his overcoat or hat down 

 on the incubator. It is also out of the sight of 

 meddlesome children who are generally interested 

 in incubators. These two features alone are surely 

 sufQcient to show that Mr. Johnson is no " chicken" 

 at the chicken business, and that hs is in earnest in 

 trying to furnish his customers the very best ma- 

 chine that money can buy. He issues a nice cata- 

 log which is free for the asking. When you send 

 for it, kindly mention Gleanings. 



THE DETROIT DISC HABROW. 



Disc machines are the order of the day in the farm- 

 ing world. Plows and harrows of this type are car- 

 rying all before them. Among the very best is the 

 Detroit tongueless disc harrow advertised on back 

 cover page. It certainly has features which appeal 

 strongly to the practical man who is looking for 

 something which will do his work with the least ex- 

 penditure of force, time, and money. One of the 

 prominent features of the Detroit is that it is tongue- 

 less. For this reason it is easier to handle and is 

 less troublesome to the horses. 



Another valuable feature is that the discs can be 

 lifted up out of the way very readily and easily. 

 This prevents dulling the discs when the machine is 

 on the road going from one field to another, or to 

 and from the barn and the land to be cultivated. 

 Having no tongue it is easily handled among fruit- 

 trees— something of a boon to fruit-growers. It is 

 unnecessary for us to explain all the features of this 

 harrow, because the manufacturers send free a book 

 which fully explains all the main points of superior- 

 if". It is wortn sending for. 



The makprs The American Harrow Co.. 468 Hast- 

 ings St . Dttroi- , Mich., have branch-houses through 

 which they ship to save freight. They also sell on 

 tie installment plan lo suit the views of some pa- 

 trons. Some of our foreign readers would probably 

 find a perusual of their catalog very intTesting.
