so well known, that progressive farmers and 

 gardeners wait for his Seed Books to know what 

 new things in seeds and plants are worth trying. 

 His 1907 Seed Book will not disappoint them in 

 this respect. The book contains 152 pages of 

 handsome letter press and illustrations, and two 

 beautiful colored cover pages. It will be sent 

 free to all applicants by Wm. Henry Maule, 

 Seedsman, Philadelphia, Pa., provided they 

 mention The Strawberry. 



Reforestation is a national problem. The 

 scarcity of the black walnut, chestunt, oak, 

 etc., is growing to be alarming. The man who 

 plants chestnut trees now is depositing a val- 

 uable bank account for himself and children. 

 Chestnuts are good food and command a high 

 price in the nut market. Ten thousand year- 

 I old chestnut trees are being given away to prop- 

 erty owners who write to the Gardner Nursery 

 Company, 33 Nursery avenue, Osage, Iowa. 

 Now is a good time to get a start and plant 

 chestnut trees. 



The 1907 catalogue issued by the Bateman 

 Manufacturing Co., who make the Iron Age 

 farm and garden implements is a book that every 

 soil tiller may peruse with profit. The aids 

 given the modern horticulturalist in the way of 

 ingenious implements and tools is suggested in 

 this publication, which will be sent free to all 

 our readers who will address a postal card to the

Storrs i Harrison of the Painesville (Ohio) 

 Nurseries have issued a very attractive catalogue 

 this season. It is a book of 172 pages and every 

 page of value. A copy will go forward to you 

 at once by the asking. 



Carl Sonderegger, whose German Nurseries 

 at Beatrice, Neb., ha\e become so famous, has 

 done himself proud in putting out a catalogue 

 of his 1907 offerings that is unusually fine and 

 attractive. The prairies of the West have be- 

 come of late years the home of many important 

 horticultural enterprises, and Nebraska counts 

 the German Nurseries as one of the institutions 

 of which her people are proud. 



The Dingee & Conard Co. , who are among 

 the leading rose growers of America, are making 

 a specialty of the famous Killarney rose this 

 season, and have it beautifully illustrated on the 

 front cover of their "Guide To Rose Culture," 

 which is sent free to all who ask for it. Write 

 for this book to Dingee & Conard, West Grove, 

 Pa., and secure, free of cost, this invaluable 

 guide to rose growing.

 markable "natural brooder," an invention that 

 will be of interest to all poultry folk.

A MONG the spray materials that are of in- 

 ^* creasing popularity is Good's whale-oil 

 soap, a preparation that has the endorsement of 

 the Department of Agriculture at Washington 

 and of many experiment stations. One feature 

 about this remedy for San Jose scale and other 

 enemies to plant life is the fact that its principal 

 ingredients — potash and whale-oil — are fertilizers 

 of large value, that aid plant life instead of hin- 

 dering it. Send to James Good, 936 North 

 Front street, Philadelphia, for full information. 



THERE is real economy in buying the best 

 tools. A man doesn't build a barn in a slip- 

 shod manner for the sake of saving (?) a few 

 dollars. No more should he think of buying 

 cheap garden tools when he wants them to be 

 of the greatest service to him and expects to use 

 them year after year. This obsers'ation at once 

 suggests the methods employed by S. L. Allen 

 & Co. to produce the highest grade of tools 

 that the combination of the best of materials 

 and the best of workmanship may do. For in- 

 stance, the making of Planet Jr. is under the 

 watchful eyes of five inspectors whose sole duty

Unusual Offer ot a World-Famous Manufacturer 



VOU^ ^^n now have your washing done by gravity 

 ■*■ power, for a washing? machine has been invent- 

 ed which actually makes the rotation of the eailh 

 on itsaxisdoallthe hard work of the weekly wash. 



The machine is very simple in construction, very 

 easy in operation and very wonderful in results. 



After the dirty clothes are put in the tub of the 

 machine and covered with hot suds, all that is 

 needed to start the work of washing is a slit^ht 

 push of the hand. The Btrenpth of a small child 

 would be far more than enout^h to set the machin- 

 ery in motion. And, once started, the washer is 

 easily kept going by slight pushes and pulls with 

 your hand. The machine oscillates slightly and 

 you exert but very little strength, because the 

 earth power gravity does all the hard work. 

 You can sit down to do your part, if you prefer. 



This Gravity Washer is made only by the world- 

 famous UtOO Washer Co., of Binghamton, N. Y., 

 who have patented the machine. And to show you 

 the wonderful work this machine will do, the 

 makers offer to send a Gravity Washer to any 

 responsible party, for a month's free trial. 



You need not send them any money in advance- 

 make any deposits--or sign any bonds. All you 

 have to do to obt-ain the proof that you can be rid 

 of wash-day worry and wash-day work forever 

 and ever is: write the HKW Washer Co. that you are 

 willing to try one of their Gravity Washers. They 

 will send you the washer at once, all freight pre- 

 paid (so you are put to no esfjuse for the trial) 

 and you have only to take the washer home and 

 use it a month. 



The makers ask you to give the washer a thor- 

 ough test— to wash everything from lace curtains 

 to carpets with it and if you are not perfectly 

 satisfied, you need not ke' p the washer. This test 

 will cost you nothing. It is free. 



If you decide to keep the Gravity Washer, after 

 using it a month free, you can, if you wish, pay 

 for it by the week or by the month (the makers 

 let you do as you choose about this). 



Full particulars of this liberal guarantee, of the 

 free trial offer and of the "Pay as it Saves for 

 You" plan of selling, may be had by sending your 

 name and address to the General Manager of the 

 V.m Washer Co., Mr. R. F. Bieber,301 Henry Street, 

 Binghamton, N. Y. 



it is to see that these tools are perfect in every 

 detail. A half-million users know how well 

 they do their work and understand why Planet 

 Jr. tools can be guaranteed. The new 1907
