Lawn Beauty with Economy 

 and Conservation of Labor 



The lawn beautiful must be cut often and well — and to- 

 day hand mowing is not equal to this task, where the lawn 

 area is greater than two acres, unless, labor out of ail 

 reasonable proportion is employed. 



There is however one solution; one lawn-cutting mower 

 that solves the labor problem and at the same time assures 

 a perfect lawn at the minimum ot expense. That mower 

 is the 



Fuller & Johnson 



MOTOR LAWN MOWER 



The Fuller & Johnson combines large cutting capacity with flexi- 

 bility and lightness. In one day's time one man can perfectly cut 

 five acres of lawn. He can cut it so perfectly that no after- 

 trimming with a hand mower around trees, shrubs or driveways 

 will be necessary. He can cut it so easily that it can hardly be 

 called work; rather a pleasure than a task. "Where you find the 

 most beautifully cared for estates, parks and cemeteries there too you 

 will find the Fuller & Johnson Motor Lawn Mower. This machine 

 is fast replacing hand mowers, horse mowers and the heavier types 

 of motor mowers. It should replace them on your lawn. 

 Let us give you the full facts. Let us send you 

 our book entitled "A Uetter Lawn." You owe it 

 to your lawn and to your pocket book to investi- 

 gate the Fuller & Johnson.

The Significance of Wolcott Nurseries 



To America's Flower Loversr 



We are specialists in new and rare hardy 

 . plants, such as are generally not obtainable |

 country, we secure it and try it out under the 

 severe conditions ruling in our nursery. If 

 a plant succeeds in our trying climate, we can | 

 assure its hardiness anywhere, and every 

 plant we send out is guaranteed true to name. 

 Every reader of Garden Magazine, who loves 

 hardy plants, should write for
