Like This For Profit 



Whether you have one acre or a hundred, you can 

 make more money per acre growing Sober Paragon Chest 

 nuts than from any other crop you could plant. One crop 

 from the Paxinos 6 year old orchard brought $30,000.00. 



3,000 BEARING TREES &?.&, 



Must be removed from the Famous Paxinos 

 Orchard the coming Spring, because the plant- 

 ing, six years ago, was done too closely. It 

 has taken years to grow these trees — we've 

 done the waiting. 



Pay Back Their Cost the First 

 Year. 



You secure at once, specimens that will 

 give immediate and permanent results. Start 

 with bearing stock — your investment then 

 pays dividends from the beginning. A single 

 5-year old tree in the Paxinos Orchard grew 

 500 burrs in one year. Three to five nuts in 

 each burr. 



TJ. S. Pomologist, G. C. Brackett says : 

 " The Sober Paragon comes nearest to the 

 native chestnut of any of tlie specimens I have 

 examined. It is of large size, fine appearance 

 and excellent flavor." 



For Lawn or Park. 



For decorative purposes, the Sober Paragon 

 is unequalled. Hardy.rapid symmetrical growth ;

 by the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition at Seattle last summer, 

 were awarded to 



"AMERICAN" Pumping Machinery 



The reason why "American" centrifugals attain higher efficiencies than 

 others is the impell rs are accurately adjusted and 

 machined true to fit the casing and the flowlmes : 

 all easy curves with no sudden change of direction 

 of fluid in passing 1 through the pump.

GARDENERS 



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



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



of one pair of easy-going handles performing every operation 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 your- 

 self or employ others, you must know about these Iron Age labor 

 saving, yield-increasing implements if you want to get tlie full 

 return for your labor or investment. The Iron A^e book will be 

 forwarded upon request to readers of The Garden Magazine. 

 Read it and be a better gardener.

black lice. The best remedy for this pest is 

 tobacco or fine snuff dusted over the plants when 

 the moisture is upon them. Tobacco stems 

 placed among the pots is very good. If mildew 

 appears dust the plants thoroughly with flour of 

 sulphur, both on the under and upper sides of 

 the foliage when it is moist. This disease is caused 

 by having the plants in a draughty position, and by 

 a sudden change of the weather. 



FEEDING THE PLANTS 



Liquid manure should be given to the plants 

 once each week. Sheep manure can be used if 



A chrysanthemum plant which had the centre of 

 the main stem at the top pinched back to in- 

 duce branching 



well-rotted cow manure cannot be secured. Place 

 two large spoonfuls of pulverized sheep manure 

 in a cheesecloth bag, and let it soak for two days 

 in two quarts of water. Do not use it too strong, 

 but weak and often gives the best results. Put 

 the pots in the garden in a shady position in a 

 trench about three inches deeper than the pots. 

 Place coal ashes over the bottom of the trench 

 and fill in with the same material. This will 

 keep the roots of the plants cool and prevent 

 worms from entering the pots. Mulch the soil 

 around the plants with manure to keep it cool 

 and moist as well as to enrich it. Give the plants 

 a thorough spraying early every morning and a good 

 watering every evening. When the frosty nights 

 arrive, take up the pots and place them in a cool 

 room, where they will develop blooms which 

 will last longer. 



After the plants have flowered, place them in a 

 cool cellar where the temperature is not below 

 25 or above 40 degrees. Never allow the soil 

 to become dust dry while the plants are resting. 

 The next spring they can be brought up, and 

 placed in the light and given water. When the 

 shoots have made some growth, they can be cut 

 and rooted in moist sand.

Transplanting Cherries 



CHERRY trees are not easy to transplant. If you 

 wish to move them prepare for the change at 

 least a year beforehand, by trenching — that is, 

 severing the main roots, thus inducing a mass of fib- 

 rous root in the ball of the tree. The ball should be 

 lifted in the winter time when it is in a dormant 

 condition; do not attempt removal in the fall.
