 Powder is made by the new method. 



Each Grain of Soap Powder is POPPED 

 —FLUFFED— FLAKED— it Fills more 

 space — yet does no more work. 



Besides — Water is added to Increase the 

 Weight — again Decreasing the value of the 

 I Powder. 



PEARLINE is the same DRY- 

 DENSE— CONDENSED-EFFICIENT 

 Soap Powder it has been for 30 years. A

 these Popped,Look-Big Powders. PEAR- 

 LINE is more than ever

 Days Free in the 



Handsome COZY CAB 



Driving: in the ordinary top-buggy means frequent drench- 

 ings— ruined clothing:— severe colds. IT e Cozy Cab provides 

 instant and complete protection against such annoyances. 

 The Cozy Cab is the coolest vehicle on wheels. Stationary 

 side panels at each end of the seat create a current of air 

 which is very pleasing on hot, sultry days. At the approach 

 of a shower, the adjustable side doors can be closed and the 

 front window shut in a few seconds, keeping you perfectly 

 dry through the most terrific rain and wind storm. The 

 COZY CAB is neat, light and attractive. It is complete in 

 its comforts and gives years of satisfactory service. 

 Write Today for our Free Rook— a handsomely illus- 

 trated catalog of the COZY CAB, describing in detail 

 its comforts, its wonderful adjustability, its construction 

 and our liberal 30 day trial offer, that enables you to test 

 and prove each feature of the COZY CAB at our risk.

When selecting varieties of plums for planting, 

 one must be governed by location. In Southeast- 

 ern New York, the best European varieties which 

 will thrive under the conditions I have described, 

 are Reine Claude, Damson, the prune varieties, 

 Bradshaw, etc. Lombard is the easiest to succeed 

 with, but the fruit is not first quality. A few Japan 



Shropshire Damson, a little larger than the com- 

 mon Damson and the most popular of its type 



plums are desirable for canning, as they produce 

 large crops, Burbank, Abundance, and Red June 

 being among the best. The native American 

 varieties of the Wild Goose type will live longer 

 than any mentioned, but they are so hardy they 

 can be grown successfully under the same condi- 

 tions as the apple or pear. 



The principles of plum culture are the same 

 whether the trees are grown in poultry yards or 

 in an orchard. My points are that it is easier 

 to succeed with them in a small way if the trees are 

 planted in the poultry yards; that maximum 

 crops of the best dessert plums can be grown with 

 a minimum of labor or attention; and that people 

 who would otherwise neglect the trees will take 

 care of them if they are planted in places where 

 they can be seen daily.

A Self-Supporting Hobby 



IF YOU have a specialty — some good, easily 

 grown, hardy plant or bulb, at once useful for 

 garden decoration and cut flowers — and if you 

 have a better selection of varieties than is offered 

 for sale in your locality (which is often not difficult), 

 you have only to let your plants be seen in bloom 

 to book many orders for roots to be delivered at 

 planting time. I know one man who took orders 

 last summer for fifteen dozen dahlias, orders 

 attracted solely by the flowering plants in his 

 wayside garden at a California summer resort. 

 I think he had lots of fun selling them, too, for 

 his flowers gained all the admiration a gardener 

 could crave. I, myself, in the suburbs of a large 

 city in Eastern Canada, raised and sold fine English 

 larkspurs and hybrid columbines, but my greatest 

 success was with my specialty at that time, the 

 tall bearded or German iris. 



Since my sixth year when I "planted" a cake of 

 chocolate because an older boy told me chocolate 

 grew, I had always tried to garden but had for 

 the most time dwelt in city blocks where the 

 most general ideal of a back garden was a small
