Watering the Stock tffl Hot-Air Pump 



Just think of the difference, especially in 

 cold or dry weather, between driving your 

 live stock down to the brook, and turning 

 a faucet which will fill a trough right in 

 the barn-yard or in the stalls, next to every 

 horse and cow. This is what the Hot-Air 

 Pump means on any farm; this is what it 



It does away entirely with lugging water by hand, whether for the bath, the kitchen, the 

 lawn, the garden or the live stock. It is known to-day as the best and most economical 

 water-supply, because, being independent of wind or weather, it is constant and reliable.

saves in time and labor. Then, too, what 

 does an abundance of fresh running water 

 at the right temperature mean in the way 

 of healthy stock and increased yield of 

 milk from the cows? Now is the time to 

 put in a Hot-Air Pump and be 

 ready for winter.

We aim to kill scale and not trees. One spraying will not kill all the scale. Many of them 

 get under the rough bark. They are very minute, but their multitude makes the San Jose Scale 

 a plague like the plagues of Egypt.

 CRIMSON OR BABY RAMBLER 



The Greatest of Pot Blooming Roses 



"THE Crimson Rambler in dwarf form—about two feet 

 high. Perfectly hardy. Grown outdoors, blooms from 

 June until late frosts. The greatest of forcing: roses. 

 Blooms the year round under glass. The Dwarf or Baby 

 Rambler grows a fine, healthy bush from 24 to 30 inches in 

 height, with foliage of dark glossy green; blooms in large 

 clusters like the old variety, the sturdy little bushes being 

 literally loaded down at times by their covering of small 

 bright red roses; very attractive throughout the season, 

 as they are constantly in bloom from June until late frosts, 

 and when potted up will bloom all winter. Is adapted to 

 use on lawns or in the garden in clumps in odd corners, 

 as edgings or low hedges for driveways, etc., or for grow- 

 ing in pots. Everyone having room for a single flower 

 pot should have this rose. We have a choice stock of 

 plants which will begin blooming soon.

place water sparingly, and if the leaves get 

 dusty they should be wiped off with a wet 

 sponge, say once a week. 



The palms suitable for house use are but 

 few. The ground rattan (Rhapis flabelli- 

 jormis) is easily the best. The curly palms 

 (Kenlia Forsteriana and Belmoreana) are 

 good, and Latania Borbonica will succeed 

 with care. S . T . Orchard.
