American Flag Daisies 



We take pleasure in offering here, for the first time, 

 these three hardy, ever-blooming Daisies in the 

 three national colors, Red, White and Blue. We feel 

 that the greatest discovery ever made in plant life 

 was made when our botanists brought these to perfection after years of trial, and they bid fair to be- 

 come the most popular bedding plant for lawn massing. They are noted for their freedom of bloom 

 and easy culture from seeds. We will send one packet each of the Blue, White and Red postpaid 

 for 25 cents. Stamps not accepted. Address BUCKEYE CONSERVATORIES,

One suburbanite out here made his roller 

 by simply standing the drain pipe on one end 

 and inserting through the centre a one-inch 

 pipe. Running this water pipe into the 

 ground three inches, he left the same length 

 projecting out the other end and poured 

 into the drain pipe a lot of very small stones 

 and cement. This was allowed to stand for 

 a week to set. The same kind of a handle as 

 described was used.

A Device for Reaching Over 

 the Border 



TO reach the back part of the border 

 without walking all over the front of 

 it and yet be in a comfortable enough posi- 

 tion to allow me to pull weeds, cultivate 





The "bridge" as long as a spade, twelve inches 

 wide, and six inches high. The lower leg has a board 

 attached which prevents it from sinking into the soil 

 when placed on the border 



and set plants in the spring was a hard 

 problem until I had built the bridge shown 

 in the illustrations. By its use the work 

 is made much easier. It is long enough 



By its use the worK of weeding, cultivating and plant- 

 ing is made easier in the border 



to reach to the back of the border, is high 

 enough not to injure the young plants, and 

 is made broad enough not to sink into the 

 soil or tip over.
