Find in the Iron Age Book devices of which they never dreamed for 

 the easy, economical, exact cultivation of the pleasure -profit garden. 

 Think of one pair of easy-going handles performing every opera- 

 tion from the opening of the soil to the gathering of Nature's 

 reward and you have a slight idea of Iron Age methods. 



Whether you plant a hill, a row or an acre, whether you do it 



yourself or employ others, you must know about these Iron 



Age labor saving, yield-increasing implements if you want 



to get the full return for your labor or investment. The 



Iron Age Book will be forwarded upon request to readers of 



Garden Magazine -Farming. Read it and be a better gardener. 



BATEMAN MFO. CO., Box C, GRENLOCH, N. J. 



first of March I got fifteen good slips from it. 

 The cutting back did the plant good, for a 

 vigorous new growth started, and on the 

 twelfth of April ten more slips were taken 

 from it, making twenty-five young plants 

 from the old one. The local florist charged 

 $1.25 a dozen for bedding plants, so I es- 

 timated that mine were worth $2.50; and 

 they proved to be better plants than those 

 sold by the florist because they were pinched 

 back and hardened off before being planted 

 out-of-doors. 



In' eighteen days all the cuttings were 

 well rooted, but they were left in the saucer 

 a week longer before being put into pots.

 Alpine plants, or those which come from 

 high mountains in Europe, are usually planted 

 on rockeries, and while some of the choicest 

 can only be grown in situations where they 

 can have cool air, plenty of light but without 

 shade, constant moisture and perfect drain- 

 age, there are plenty of varieties that are
