 and Cold frames 



Twice Armed 

 Be Your Garden 



In these war times a Sunlight Double Glass 

 Sash outfit — a cold frame, a hot-bed, or a 

 small ready made greenhouse is doubly val- 

 uable. It will carry the growing of many 

 kinds of vege- 

 tables through 

 Fall and Winter, 

 and provideplants 

 for early crops 

 out - of - doors in 

 Spring. These 

 food supplies are now vital and when peace 

 comes the same glass for a lifetime longer 

 will go on expediting flowers and vegetables. 



Cold Frames or 

 unheated greenhouses 

 are best for certain 

 crops and conditions, 

 but it is easy to turn 

 a Sunlight Cold 

 Frame into a hot-bed 

 or provide artificial 

 heat for a small double 

 glazed greenhouse. 



Even the little Sunlight Suntrapz set over 

 plant boxes in a sunny room or in the sun 

 out of doors will do their bit in starting seed 

 or growing plants. 



Immediate ship- 

 ment is made of sash, 

 greenhouses, top 

 frames, pit frames or 

 any other outfits we 

 carry in stock.

The matter of seed sowing constitutes often a most tedious 

 job. If done hurriedly, by hand, rows are apt to be irregu- 

 lar, seeds are often sown too thickly. The resulting need of 

 thinning is a serious loss of time, not counting the waste 

 of seeds. All this can easily be avoided by the use of 



PERFECTION DRILL 

 AND SEEDER 



which marks the 

 greatest improve- 

 ment m hand and 

 drill seeders in the 

 last quarter cen- 

 tury. Will sow all kinds of small gar-den seeds 

 evenly, and to uniform depth. Of particular 

 usefulness in hotbeds and greenhouses. A 

 board is placed across bench, on which the 

 little wheel runs. This operates the disc in 

 the hopper which regularly and evenly drops 

 all seeds, from lettuce and radishes to cabbages and toma- 

 toes. Different size discs are supplied for different size seeds. 

 The drill is a model of simplicity, cannot get out of order, and 

 serves its purpose a lifetime. Used on all flower or vegetable 

 seeds. 



Price $2.00; weight 11-2 lbs. 



Soon pays for itself in seftd and labor saved. Will do sev- 

 eral times as much work as is possible to do by hand.

 display of cut Roses, covering two hundred 

 square feet, the first prize is $500; for dis- 

 play of Carnations, $150. In the named 

 classes for cut Roses, prizes vary from $50 

 to $100. Display of Orchids, $500. For a bor- 

 der planting, #500. No inducement is offered 

 for the hitherto familiar Rose Garden feature. 



The Exhibition Season 



TOURING the month of November various 

 -*-"' horticultural societies will hold annual 

 and fall shows in which the Chrysanthemum 

 naturally will reign supreme. The biggest 

 gathering will be at Cleveland, Ohio, where 

 the Chrysanthemum Society of America will 

 hold its annual convention, November 8 to 

 10. Several coinciding events combine to 

 make this a truly representative gathering 

 of the season. The Cleveland Flower Show 

 is conducted under the direction of the Ohio 

 Horticultural Society, the Cleveland Florists' 

 Club and the Garden Club of Cleveland; and 

 in addition to being combined with the meet- 

 ing of the National Society devoted to the 

 Chrysanthemum, there will also be combined 

 fall meetings and exhibitions of the American 

 Rose Society and the American Carnation 

 Society. The combined displays will be held 

 at the Hotel Statler. Naturally these events 

 will offer the best opportunity this season of 

 seeing grouped together at one time the vari- 

 ous novelties in the florists' flowers.
