A Coldwell Motor Lawn Mower on the grounds of 

 John D. Rockefeller's estate, Pocantico Hills, N. Y. 



TO keep turf in good condition you must have a good 

 lawn mower. 

 Those who want — and know — the best always 

 use Coldwell Mowers. 



"Coldwell" means to lawn mowers what "Kodak" 

 means to cameras. Each is the leader in its line. 



One Coldwell Motor Mower does the work of three 

 men and three horse mowers. It climbs 25% grades easily. 

 It weighs 2,000 pounds — rolling and cutting in one; but 

 it leaves no hoof-prints. 



Coldwell Motor Mowers are used on all the principal 

 Golf links in America, by the U. S. Government, and on 

 scores of parks and private estates. 



We also make the best horse and hand lawn mowers on the market. 

 Send us your name and address and we will mail you our illustrated 

 catalogue, with an interesting booklet on the care of turf.

hatch shortly, giving birth to brown colored worms 

 which, when full grown, are about three tenths of an 

 inch long. They feed upon the leaves and later, 

 when full grown, drop to the ground and enter it 

 where they transform into beetles. This second 

 brood goes through the same life cycle, producing 

 another crop of beetles which hibernate in the 

 ground and damage the next year's crop. Badly 

 infested grape vines soon look very ragged, for the 

 larvae eat large, irregular holes in the leaves. 



The grape-vine flea beetle can be effectively 

 controlled by spraying the vines just as the buds 

 are opening with arsenate of lead at the rate of four 

 pounds to fifty gallons of water to which is added 

 two quarts of molasses. If the vines are badly in- 

 fested and the first spraying does not kill all the 

 beetles within twenty-four hours a second applica- 

 tion should be given. A further spraying should 

 be given early in July to catch the larvae feeding 

 on the foliage.

The Alpine Strawberry 



AN ARTICLE on the alpine strawberry in The 

 Garden Magazine some time ago aroused 

 so much interest that it brought to the writer 

 inquiries as to seed and plants from as far away as 

 the State of Washington. In the endeavor to 

 answer these inquiries it was found that only one 

 seedsman in New York had the seed in stock in May,

and he carried the white as well as the red. Nor 

 were plants found growing at more than one of the 

 nurseries near New York and then there were only 

 a few imported plants that were not being offered 

 as they were in use to create a stock. In the nearer 

 west a larger supply of a newly developed variety 

 was discovered. There is no doubt, however, that 

 this interesting little strawberry is on the road to 

 being generally listed. The very fact that it bears 

 delicious fruit all through the month of July is 

 alone enough to recommend it.

A Beautiful Shrub 



THE scarlet thorn Crataegus coccinea is a most 

 beautiful ornamental arborescent shrub, with 

 spreading and ascending branches, and deep green 

 broadly oval leaves, tapering at the base. The 

 numerous clusters of ten, white-anther stamened 

 flowers open about May 25th. The handsome 

 bright end clusters of fruit ripen about the middle 

 of September and turn to a dark crimson before 

 they fall about the first of November. It is a com- 

 mon species in a wild state on both sides of the St. 

 Lawrence River, from Kingston to Ogdensburgh. 

 As an ornamental species it completely outclasses
