DE LAVAL 



CREAM 



SEPARATORS 



THE WORLD'S STANDARD 



De Laval Cream Separators were the original and have led in every step of 

 cream separator development. Constantly improved, they have been fully 

 remodelled every five or ten years, the last time from top to bottom in 1908, 

 with the finishing touches of perfected refinement added in 1909. 



Other cream separators have always been merely the. product of those 

 following in the wake of De Laval success, utilizing variations of the ten to 

 twenty year old De Laval features which expiring patents have so laid open to them. 



De Laval Cream Separators skim closer, particularly at low temperature 

 and running heavy cream; have greater actual, if not claimed capacity; run 

 easier and at much less necessary speed; are much more sanitary and easily 

 cleanable; are far easier handled, assembled and unassembled, and are so much 

 better made as to design, materials and workmanship that they last from two to 

 ten times longer than other separators. 



They produce cream so much superior to other systems and separators that 

 butter made from De Laval cream scores highest in all representative contests, 

 which, together with their other advantages, has brought about their exclusive 

 use by more than 98% of the world's creamery and butter factories, with their 

 thirty years practical separator experience. 



De Laval Cream Separators cost no more than other separators, considering 

 actual capacity. They save an average $50.- per year over other farm sizes 

 of separators and an average $100.- per year over other creaming systems, 

 and they last twenty years as against two to five years for other machines. 

 They are sold for cash or on terms that enable their paying for themselves, and 

 there is no payment of any kind in advance that practically binds the buyer to his 

 bargain. 



De Laval Cream Separators are the highest type of farm implement made 

 and invariably prove the most profitable of farm investments. They are guar- 

 anteed to be in every way as represented and to fulfil every claim made as a 

 condition of their acceptance by the purchaser. They are sold on as sound a 

 basis as a government bond and their prestige is as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. 



The buyer who puts his money into any other separator today and continu- 

 ally wastes some of his product through its use must surely do so without knowl- 

 edge of the up-to-date De Laval machine, the opportunity for which knowledge is 

 free to him for the asking.

A Splendid 



New Bluebell for the 

 South 



EVERY Southerner who has seen bluebells 

 growing by the million in English woods and 

 carpeting the ground by the acre has doubtless been 

 fired with an ambition to reproduce such lovely 

 scenes in our own South. I doubt, however, 

 whether we can do so with the common bluebell 

 of England, which is Scilla jestalis, known to bulb 

 dealers as S. nutans. But an even finer flower of 

 the same general appearance is the Spanish hya- 

 cinth Scilla Hispanica, known to bulb dealers as 

 5. campanulata. This lovely plant has twenty 

 to forty bells on a stem, or nearly twice as many 

 as the northern bluebell and it can be had in blue, 

 white, flesh color, and pink. 



The bulbs cost only a cent or a cent and a half 

 each, by the hundred, and anyone who would get 

 five hundred of each and plant them beside a wood- 

 land walk would be doing a public service. For 

 the bulbs multiply very rapidly abroad and if they 

 should do so here, they would undoubtedly look 

 like wildflowers. This would be the prettiest way 

 to grow them, but they are also said to look well in 

 rhododendron beds and in the fringe of a shrubbery 



The Spanish hyacinth, which would probably 

 give a finer effect than English bluebells along 

 woodland paths in the South
