THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



February, 1907 



The IVER JOHNSON Revolver has 

 now reached a sale equal to all 

 other American makes combined. 



A success like this does not merely happen. It is won by exclusive features 

 of excellence or a superior average of quality. The Iver Johnson has both. It is 

 the only revolver that positively cannot be discharged 

 by accident — you cannot fire it except by de- 

 liberately pulling the trigger. Jm ^~~~ 



Our booklet "Shots," which we mail 

 free on request, explains in detail, the ex- 

 clusive Iver Johnson Safety principle that 

 makes the Iver Johnson proof against 

 accidental discharge, so that you can 

 drop it on the floor, kick it 

 down stairs, bang it against 

 a stone wall, or with 

 absolute safety, 

 you may 



Hammer the Hammer 



But this is only part of the Iver Johnson story, the biggest part is that 

 which the revolver tells best itself — high quality of material and workman- 

 ship in every detail, faithful and sure discharge, straight, hard shooting, 

 beauty and graceful design. Compactness of structure, easy to handle — 

 just the weapon for a gentleman's pocket, bureau, or desk. It may be 

 purchased for home use without fear — the ladies of the home find in it a real protection 

 against intrusion and have no fear of accidental discharge with it "about the house."

The Southerner's Reminder 



In the latitude of Richmond sow in hotbeds 

 the tender vegetables, e. g., tomatoes, egg- 

 plants and peppers. 



Sow in coldframes lettuce and radishes for 

 use in March ; beets for April ; early cabbages, 

 cauliflowers and onions for May. 



Sow outdoors in late February, if favorable, 

 the earliest varieties of the hardiest vegeta- 

 bles. Under favorable conditions you can 

 have ready for the table in March radishes, 

 spinach, peas, parsley and beets, these being 

 named in the order of their maturity. Also 

 you will have plants of celery, kale, carrot 

 and other plants requiring a long season of 

 growth, to transplant or thin in March, 

 when shiftless people are just beginning to 

 think of sowing seeds. 



Sow seeds of Georgia collards so that they 

 will mature before the summer's drought 

 sets in. 



Set out asparagus roots, onion sets, horse- 

 radish roots, and a few lettuce plants. Also 

 plant an early variety of potatoes. 



Sow lawn -grass seed. Bermuda grass is 

 best, as it can withstand the summer's heat. 



Start flower seeds in boxes in the window. 



In the latitude 0} New Orleans sow outdoors 

 by the middle of the month, sweet corn and 

 Early Mohawk beans ; at the end of the month, 

 Early Valentine. If frost threatens the bean 

 seedlings, cover them an inch deep with 

 soil, by means of the hand-cultivator. To 

 prevent their being washed away by heavy 

 rains plant beans on slight elevations. 



Sow in coldframes tomatoes, eggplants 

 and peppers. 



Sow on sods cucumbers, melons and okra. 

 Cover them on cold nights with boxes or 

 canvas, and in March you can set the young 

 plants in their permanent quarters without 

 any set-back. 



Plant the main crop varieties of Irish 

 potatoes. 



Make a canvas-covered bed for propagating 

 sweet potatoes, or plant a row of whole 

 tubers for "draws" and vines. 



Set out small pieces of Bermuda grass a 

 foot apart, to make a lawn. 



Dig up and divide dahlia and canna roots 

 as soon as the growth begins. Dahlia roots 

 without eyes will never sprout. 



Plant one-third of your gladiolus and 

 tuberose bulbs; another third in March; the 

 remainder in April. 



Sow seeds of tender annuals and perennials 

 in coldframes, for protection against heavy 

 rains, e. g., castor oil beans, China asters, 

 heliotropes, lobelias, petunias, scarlet sage 

 and verbena.
