Power 



For Every Purpose 



THE power needs of country places 

 are most varied. To meet them 

 successfully and economically, a 

 gasoline engine must be exceptionally well 

 designed and well built. It must be 

 capable of a wide range of work. It must 

 have an efficient governor to prevent 

 waste of fuel when running with a light 

 load. It must be able to handle sud- 

 denly-applied overloads without undue 

 strain on the mechanism of the engine. 



I H C Gasoline Engines 



are built to meet just such varied needs. If 

 your heaviest normal work requires 6 horse 

 power and your lighest only 2, a 6 horse 

 power engine will take care of both. It will use 

 only as much fuel as a 2 horse power engine when 

 doing that amount of work. It will develop, in 

 an emergency, from io to 20 per cent more power 

 than its rating. 



I H C engines are well designed, easy to under- 

 stand, easy to manage, and are built with scrup- 

 ulous attention to every detail of material and 

 workmanship. They give satisfactory service 

 wherever installed. They win words of praise 

 from owners in country houses everywhere. 



You can choose just the engine for your work 

 from the different sizes and styles of I H C 

 Engines, 1- to 50-horse power, air-cooled or water- 

 cooled. They are built to operate on gas, gaso- 

 line, naphtha, kerosene, distillate, or alcohol.

The Chilian Herb Lily 



ALTHOUGH the Chilian herb lily (Alstroemeria 

 Chilensis) has survived the winter at Wash- 

 ington, when well mulched, and is claimed to be 

 hardy farther to the northward if protected, it 

 is safest to regard it as a summer bulb. As such 

 it should be planted more frequently than it rs. 



The Chilian herb lily is not as common in gar- 

 dens as it should (be. Try it: it blooms for two 

 months 



It blooms from July to September and the flowers, 

 ranging from pinkish white to orange red, are very 

 attractive. As soon as the foliage dies down in the 

 fall, lift the bulbs and store over winter in a frost- 

 proof place. 



The Chilian lily requires partial shade and 

 plenty of water while the roots are growing. It 

 these conditions cannot be given there is really 

 little use in trying to grow this lily. The tubers 

 should be planted four inches deep in soil that 

 has been worked not less than fifteen inches.
