FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION

deregger is a careful shipper, and his trees and 

 plants all arrive in a sound, healthy, growable 

 condition ; in fact, he guarantees their safe 

 arrival at any railroad station in the United 

 States to which shipments are made. Damp 

 moss and expert packing are the reasons why 

 he can send nursery stock to any address. 

 His catalog is a good one to have at one's 

 elbow. He sends it free anywhere.

DEPENDABLE KNIVES. 



The illustrations herewith show Marble's 

 6-inch Ideal hunting knife with three styles of 

 blade, Nos. i, 2, and 3. The blade as at pres- 

 ent made is a modification of the two shapes 

 of blades formerly made, known as sticking 

 and skinning points, and is claimed by many 

 expert hunters and woodsmen to combine more 

 of the essential qualities for all-round use than 

 are usually found in one style of knife. 



The new blades are slightly thinner than the 

 old pattern and carry a more gradual bevel bake 

 of the edge. The bone chopper at the back of 

 point is a valuable feature for rough work. 



The solid hard-rubber handle, No. 3, is con- 

 sidered by some to be superior to any other 

 material for the purpose. The heavy tang, 

 threaded at the end, just fits the mortise in 

 the handle, and a half-inch brass nut counter- 

 sunk in the end of the handle, engaging with 

 threaded tang, makes the strongest fastening 

 that it is possible to make. 



No. i. 



No. 2. 



No. 3. 



The stripes or trimmings at each end of the 

 No. i and No. 2 handles are made up of alter- 

 nate washers of colored hard fiber and brass or 

 German silver, that are a driving fit on the 

 tang. The center of the No. i handle is com- 

 posed of leather washers put on under heavy 

 pressure and held in place by the nut counter- 

 sunk into the end of stag tip. The No. 2 is the 

 same construction, except that the center is 

 composed of two grooved slabs of selected stag 

 riveted together and driven on the tang the 

 same as the washers. 



The popularity of the Marble knives is proved 

 by the fact that the sales are considerably more 

 than doubling up each year.
