If You Want to be Proud of Your Lawn 

 You Want a 



Gem Dandelion Rake 



Cleaning up time is almost here. A 

 thorough raking of your lawn with 

 the Gem will get all the dead 

 grass, old bedded leaves, 

 twigs, acorns, etc., and 

 when the dande- 

 lions appear it 

 will get them 

 too. Fine blade- 

 like teeth slide over sod, rap- 

 idly clipping off dandelions. 

 Self-cleaning stripper worked 

 by light pull on finger-hook. 



Positively cannot tear or injure sod

Northern Grown English Walnuts 



"Northern Grown" 

 means specially bred 

 to severe changes of 

 climate and low tem- 

 peratures, strong, 

 vigorous, husky 

 young trees, able to 

 offer unyielding re- 

 sistance to severest 

 weather. 



They are the sort 

 worth having.

 Wholesale $2,080. This orchard has been in bearing many years, with abso- 

 lutely no winter-killing — with occasional temperatures 20 degrees below zero.
