HARROWS AND CULTIVATES 



With Clark's Original "Cutaway" Double Action 

 Harrow and Cultivator you can do more different kinds 

 of work with less effort than any other. It is the only 

 Disk Cultivator that completely embodies the douue 

 action principle. It will do the work of several otn^r 

 disk machines that would cost you several times asmucii; 

 do it more thoroughly, because it has \ gangs instead Sv 

 2. Cuts the soil twice, throws in opposite directions 

 fills the hollows, leaves land level and true. The dra.t 

 is always from the center— suitable for light team. All 

 single action harrows run in half lap. Gang Irame ad- 

 justable for cultivating rowed crops. Jointed pole. We 

 make a "Cutaway" for every crop. Send today for our 

 new catalogue, " Intensive Cultivation." It's free. 



asked for. It is a perennial, but so tender as to 

 come into the greenhouse class. Therefore it is 

 best planted in a pot indoors. In summer the pot 

 can be plunged in the ground. The name of 

 "prayer bean" comes from the East Indies, whence 

 the vine was brought into western culture so long 

 ago as 1680. In India the gay little beans have 

 been used not only as prayer beads by the 

 Buddhists but as standards of weight. In Ber- 

 muda and the nearer tropics, they are called "crab's 

 eyes," and appropriately enough. A third common 

 name of the vine is "weather plant," but some 

 years ago science decided that there was no war- 

 rant for the claims made for it in the matter of 

 foretelling the weather. In the Bahamas, where 

 it grows naturally in the pine barrens and palmetto 

 scrub, I found it going by two more English names, 

 "black-eyed Susan" and "wild licorice," the latter 

 because its root has the virtue of the Glycorrhiza 

 glabra of commerce. The bean pods grow in 

 clusters and follow blossoms that in the type are 

 light purple, but in cultivation vary to rose and 

 white. The much larger red bean with a black 

 eye that frequently is brought home from Bermuda 

 and other places by tourists comes from a tree, 

 not a vine. It is the fruit of the snake wood 

 (Ormosia monosperma) , a West Indian tree ten to 

 twenty feet high. The "necklace tree" (0. 

 dasycarpa), the beans of which are strung for beads, 

 is a species that is cultivated in Florida.

Cucumbers on a Trellis 



ANY method of growing cucumbers that raises 

 the plants above the ground level has much 

 to recommend it. For one thing they will not 

 sprawl over a space that is needed for other things 

 and be at the same time in the gardener's way; 

 the fruits will be easily seen and picked, instead of 

 ripening out of sight and thus going to waste. The 

 sensitive plants will not be bruised and possibly 

 killed by unavoidable trampling, and picking is 

 much less tiresome. Cultivating the two sides 

 of a straight trellis is altogether a different matter 

 from trying to cultivate around a plant that is 

 spread on the ground. 



Brush, wire netting, barrels or strings all serve 

 the purpose. Cucumbers have grown very satis- 



Cucumbers growing on brush instead of sprawling 

 on trie ground improve the appearance of the garden
