Be Sure of the Lens 
when buying your camera. The lens is the most important part 
of the outfit. Almost any kind of lens will make some kinds of 
pictures and under some conditions, but it takes a Tessar Lens 
to make first class pictures under all kinds of conditions, Dark 
days, late or early hours, street scenes, landscapes, interiors, 
portraits, athletes, copies of the finest engravings are alike to 
TEssaR. How much more pleasure and profit can be had from a 
camera fitted with a TEssAR Lens, how much less wasted material 
and opportunities. Such standard cameras as Kodaks, Premos, 
Centuries, Hawkeyes, Graflex are now sold with Tessar Lenses. 
See that the dealer shows you a camera with a Tessar Lens.

The Crowning Touch to a 
Beautiful Garden 
— INC EEINS: adds so much to the appearance and delights of a garden 
r as a beautiful piece of marble garden furniture. The sun dial or 
bench becomes the central feature of the ]andscape. It attracts more 
attention and gives more pleasure than any other thing of equal cost 
about the country estate or the suburban home. 
ee Because they are conspicuous they should be good. Our marble 
, garden pieces are cut in Italy by the most competent workmen. The 
* } material is the finest quality of Carrara marble, selected at the quarries” 
by our own buyer, who has made Italian marble a life-study. You 
can pay higher prices but no finer marble can be bought. Let us 
quote prices on the pieces illustrated herewith. 
ANTIQUES 
It is a well-known fact that there are practically no marble 
antiques in the market. Such pieces are not to be had at any price, 
except in rare instances. We can, however, produce the effects of age 
when desired. ‘This subject has been given special study.

Plant Pot-grown Strawberries 
in August 
le YOU do not have a strawberry bed 
in your garden and want one, August 
is a good time to start it, provided you plant 
pot-grown plants. 
These pot-grown plants are runners which 
were rooted in pots early in the season. 
You could not use at this season plants 
which had not been pot-grown because the 
roots would be so badly damaged in trans- 
planting that they could not furnish the plant 
with the amount of water which it would de- 
and moved in 
Strawberry runners rooted in pots, 
August may be fruited next spring 
mand. That kind of plant, known as ‘‘layer 
plants’? may be set out in September, but 
they would not give you any fruit next spring 
under ordinary cultivation while pot-grown 
plants set out in August will bear next spring. 
My bed was 10 x 20 ft., and I grew 100 
plants. The soil was a heavy clay into which 
I thoroughly worked a dressing several inches 
in thickness, of coal ashes, and half a ton of 
manure, before setting the plants. As soon 
as the ground froze, I spread another half ton 
of manure over the bed as a mulch. 
The following spring, as soon as the first 
leaves showed above the mulch, I pulled the 
manure away from the crowns of the plants, 
and worked it into the soil. That little, bed 
bore more strawberries than my family of 
three could eat fresh, so we were able to 
can some besides giving away a lot.

The Californian’s Reminder 
oo pansies and stocks, for winter bloom- 
ing, in well pulverized soil. Sow seeds 
of cineraria, pinks of all kinds, petunia, 
primula, salvia and verbena. All seeds 
sown must be carefully shaded and watered, 
as this is one of our hottest months. Cine- 
rarias and primulas need the best of care from 
sowing until plants are an inch or two high. 
August is our harvest month. This is 
a good time to plant potatoes for a late crop. 
It is in order to plant during August: 
Beets, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrot, 
lettuce, onion, parsnip, peas and turnip. 
Sow cucumber and eggplant for winter crops.
