PLANET JR. 



Nearly every one knows something about the Planet Jr. cul- 

 tivating tools. Either they have used them or have seen some 

 one else use them, for they are used everywhere. The intro- 

 duction of these handy tools ushered in a new era in general 

 gardening, and they are fast displacing the old-fashioned hoe 

 and rake, even in localities where the growers are conserva- 

 tive. The readers of this journal are as well acquainted with 

 the merits of Planet Jr. inventions as we are, and consequent- 

 ly they need no assistance from us in the way of suggestions; 

 but others not so situated can be strongly recommended to send 

 for a catalog of these interesting machines at once. They are 

 great labor-savers where labor-savers are very necessary in- 

 deed. If you admire beautiful tools, the neatness and ingenu- 

 ity of these monuments of Yankee genius will strongly appeal 

 to you. Many gardeners regard it as a sort of religious duty to 

 scan carefully the catalog of the S. L. Allen Co., who make 

 this line, looking for novelties or perhaps improvements on 

 some tool they already possess; and it is safe for us to say that 

 all up-to-date market-gardeners keep in touch with this firm. 



repair work. In point of fact, woven-wire fences are very 

 nearly perfect for the purpose for which they are constructed. 

 Of course, there are inferior makes of woven-wire fencing, 

 but that made by the American Steel and Wire Co. is of the 

 very best grade, and yet is sold at a moderate price. 



WIRE FENCING. 



We take this opportunity to call your attention to the full- 

 page advertisement of the American Steel and Wire Fence Co., 

 which appears in this issue. This company makes wire-fenc- 

 ing on a scale that may justly be termed gigantic, and are, 

 consequently, able to do for customers what small concerns can 

 not do; that is to say, they make fences to resist the heaviest 

 attacks of the wildest buffalo or control the liveliest chickens 

 on the farm. A would-be purchaser can find the fencing of 

 this concern on sale almost anywhere in this country, and to a 

 great extent in other countries, which may be taken to indi- 

 cate the vast extent of their business. Good fences are a won- 

 derful convenience on a farm, and labor-saving besides. These 

 woven-wire fences are a vast improvement over the barbed- 

 wire fences which are so common; moreover, they are very 

 durable and neat-looking. If properly erected they will im- 

 prison any kind of stock, and last a long time with very little 



Very few names are better known in the business world than 

 that of Burpee & Co. It seems almost synonymous with cer- 

 tain kinds of seeds such as cantaloupes and sweet peas. In 

 respect to valuable novelties introduced in recent years, the 

 name of Burpee stands pre-eminent, and no firm or even gov- 

 ernment experiment station is more anxious to improve the 

 quality and quantity of our garden produce than is the house of 

 Burpee. As is their wont, they have sent their advertisement 

 here for the season of 1909, knowing, probably, that their 

 seeds are highly appreciated by the readers of Gleanings and 

 their friends. Of course, they issue an excellent catalog that 

 is well worth sending for — more especially so since the state- 

 ments therein are reasonably correct and truthful — something 

 which is not always true of seed catalogs. 



PUMPS AND SPRAYERS. 



One of the first concerns in this or any other country to man- 

 ufacture sprayers for trees and crops was the Deming Co., of 

 Salem, O. They have always maintained that lead, so that it 

 now seems useless to praise the pumps and sprayers made by 

 them. Everyone who does any spraying knows of the supe 

 rior character of all their implements, and their fame is world- 

 wide. For years they have maintained a space in these col- 

 umns, and, so far as known to us, none of our readers have ever 

 complained of the treatment accorded them by the Deming Co. 

 On the contrary, there are many of our subscribers who praise 

 the wares of this company very highly. We feel sure, there- 

 fore that any one desirous of buying a spraying machine or 

 pump can not do better than correspond at once with the Dem- 

 ing Co., with a view to making a purchase.
