PROOF 



That Faormers all over the 

 World are Discarding Com- 

 mon Cream Separators for 



SHARPLES DAIRY 

 TUBULARS 



We will mall to you, free, large pictures showing; 

 the immense number of common cream separators 

 recently exchang-ed for Sharpies Dairy Tiibulars. 

 These pictures would cover more than one page of 

 this paper, and are positive proof that farmers all 

 over the world are discarding common machines 

 for Sharpies Dairy Tubulars. These pictures show 

 iustashort time accumulation of these discarded 

 common machines. Write for these pictures at once. 



Sharpies Dairy Tubular Cream Separators con- 

 tain neither disks nor other contraptions, jet pro- 

 duce twice the skimming force, skim faster and 

 skim twice as clean as common machines. Because 

 Dairy Tubulars are so simple, they wash many 

 times easier and wear several times longer than 

 common separators. Tubular sales exceed most, 

 if not all, others combined. Tubulars probably 

 replace more common separators than any one 

 maker of such machines sells. The World's Best. 

 World's biggest separator works. Branch factories 

 in Canada and Germany.

 with their progen}' if vou chance to let any plants 

 go to seed; but they at least let you know when they 

 are up to any mischief.

The Calendula's Two Sorts of 

 Blossoms 



SINCE establishing our garden in Southern 

 California, we have become quite interested 

 in the calendula (pot marigold, the "marybud" 

 of Shakespeare) as a winter bloomer. We sow 

 the seeds where they are to stay, in a sunny border, 

 shortly before the first rains of autumn are due — 

 say in late September or early October, California's 

 second spring. The plants grow rapidly. Con- 

 siderably before Christmas they are blooming freely, 

 and never stop throughout the winter. Our 

 winter temperatures (rarely below 35, and then 



Abnormal and normEd flower-heads of the caler- 

 dula on the same stalk 



only for a few hours in the night or before sunrise), 

 with the abundant sunshine, are exactly to the 

 calendula's taste, and it is entirely unaffected by 

 the occasional hard frosts which even in this favored 

 region have to be reckoned with. 



With the coming of the higher temperature of 

 the spring months, however, the calendula's glory 

 passes — the foliage loses its freshness, the plant 

 spindles, and the peculiar phenomenon shown at 

 the left of the accompanying photograph is wit- 

 nessed. The mature flower-head, instead of sim- 

 ply going to seed and falling to pieces, often 

 forms both seed and a new set of six or eight flowers, 

 which spring up from the old head on short, slender 

 stalks, making a pretty circlet of miniature flowers, 

 exactly like the normal ones except for their smaller 

 size.

Horsford's 



Hardy 



Perennials 



For Cold Weather 



If you have not tried Horsford's Plants, better 

 get a few to set with others and watch results. 

 It pays to have the best if you are looking for the 

 best flowers. Plants from cold Vermont will win- 

 ter almost anywhere that white men can. If in- 

 terested in Hardy Bulbs for Autumn setting, 

 Home Grown Lilies, Shrubs, Trees or Vines, you 

 can get them from a Northern climate and feel 

 sure they won't kill back the first hard Winter. 

 My Autumn Supplement, ready middle of August, 

 offers many inducements to those who have room 

 to plant liberally. You should ask for it, also 

 my Spring catalogue, before placing Fall orders.
