Fair's Hardy Plant Specialties 



FOURTH EDITION 1913-14 



Whether you wish to add new treasures to an old-time garden, sacred 

 with the memory of past associations, or whether it is a new garden you 

 are planning, the accomplishment of which shall be a realization of your 

 own fancy, you will find in this book 



A NEW INSPIRATION 

 AND A SAFE GUIDE 



The many acres of Peonies, Irises, Phloxes and other hardy plants in end- 

 less varieties at Wyomissing, began as a little garden that grew and grew 

 because of complete abandonment to a passionate love for growing things, 

 and an ever-widening circle of friends whose appreciation and support has 

 made possible and necessary this beautiful book of hardy plants. Different 

 from any other catalog perhaps, because at Wyomis- 

 sing I grow complete collections of the plants that 

 especially appeal to me, regardless of the money value, 

 and other garden enthusiasts have found here 

 at Wyomissing the things they have sought 

 for elsewhere in vain. 

 If you do not have this book you should 

 send for it. It is mailed free on request.

A lawn results from frequently rolling a patch of grass with machines of the many 

 weights it demands in its various moods. One fixed weight roller is incompetent — a 

 dozen impossible — -the "ANYWE1GHT" a positive necessity. This, with its acetylene 

 welded hollow steel shell weighs ioo lbs. without ballast — just right for wet Spring lawn. 



Increase the weight by filling hollow shell with 

 water, drop by drop if you wish, to the half-ton 

 pressure demanded by dry Summer lawn, drives or 

 tennis court. It's filled or emptied in a jiffy — the 

 machine fits the job; the price any pocket book. 



One or two sections of hardened and rust proofed steel — - 

 roller bearings — steel handles— adjustable counterpoise weights 

 if ordered. Fills and empties at either end of drum near 

 its end, without upending.
