Your Kind of Fruit Jar 



is the Atlas E-Z Seal, because a touch of your 

 finger locks it so tightly that all air must stay out. 

 That keeps your fruit and vegetables as fresh and 

 flavory as when first picked. They can't " work." 

 They can't spoil. E-Z Seal Jars never stick. They 

 open in a jiffy by a light pressure of the fingers- No 

 twisting — no trouble — no regrets. See the gen- 

 erous wide mouth of the 



Atlas E-Z Seal 



— big enough to take fruit whole, and you can preserve green beans, 

 asparagus uncut — and tomatoes with all their juices. Atlas E-Z 

 Seal Jars are the jars without a fault. Put this year's preserves into 

 them and you'll wonder why someone didn't make them years ago. 

 At all general stores.

 serving Recipes. We will gladly send it free

slope gradually on an incline amounting to about 

 two inches for every one hundred feet. 



Where tiles are used, they are joined with the 

 flaring rim toward the higher part of the grade. 



Where the old-fashioned horse-shoe tile is used, 

 a hemlock board is laid on the bottom of the drain, 

 the tile being placed in position upon it. At the 

 juncture of the sections, place straw or inverted 

 sods to prevent the soil from washing into the drain. 



Where stones abound, the stone drain is often 

 cheaper and just as satisfactory. Make a trench 

 eighteen inches wide, the stones being filled in to a 

 depth of eighteen inches. Over this put a thick 

 layer of straw before the earth is filled in. Flat 

 stones are placed horizontally instead of in the 

 "hit or miss" fashion of the rubble drain. 



A drain of hemlock boards is also very useful 

 and is cheaper than tile. Boards are split to 

 four-inch widths and joined at the edges, forming 

 a triangular drain which should be placed with 

 the apex down. If the boards of the upper side 

 are laid on crosswise, the result is more satis- 

 factory. The covering of straw should be used 

 in this case also before the earth is filled in.

A Beautiful Forest Flower 



THE pink lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule), 

 though the commonest of the moccasin 

 flowers, is rarely so abundant that the risk of a 

 single precious life is warranted. There is always 

 an element of chance in transplanting this beautiful 

 forest flower; but, after trying both ways, I am 

 firmly convinced that September is a materially 

 better time for the operation than the flowering 

 season. 



In September the old leaves have hardened 

 and, just under the ground, the thick leaf-bud is 

 formed and thoroughly made ready for the winter's 

 sleep. Similarly, and for the same obvious reason, 

 I have transplanted with success the painted and 

 erect trillium, Clintonia borealis, Cornus Canadensis 

 and Habenaria orbicidata. None of these, it goes 

 without saying, should be moved excepting to a 

 place where, by the use of shade and leaf mold, 

 forest conditions can be approximated.
