A first class lawn mower should 

 be self sharpening, light running 

 and wear for many years without 

 repairs or regrinding. 



"PENNSYLVANIA" 

 Quality Lawn Mowers 



have all these good points. 



In "Pennsylvania" Quality Mowers alone, 

 do you have all blades made of crucible tool 

 Steel, hardened and tempered in oil. 



This explains why they are actually self-sharpen- 

 ing — why they are always in AT cutting condition. 



Crucible oil-tempered steel is used exclusively in^- 

 making all first-class cutting instruments. It must 

 be used exclusively in your Lawn Mower if it is 

 to do the best possible work. Over 30 years' 

 experience in building ^ii«% Lawn Mowers 

 is back of all "Pennsylvania's." 



Ask your hardware dealer or seedsman — 

 they know.

HORSFORDS "?ColdWeathe S r 



When you buy plants that have stood a Vermont 

 winter, yo i can rely upon their not being killed by 

 the first cold wave. Plants raised in such a climate 

 are better fi'ted for any change they may have to 

 stand in the way of soil, clim.ite, etc., than plants 

 from the South. It needs only a trial to convince 

 anyone of this. Horsford's plants are nearly all 

 field grown. Send to-day for new catalogue.
