that delight and please; strong, 

 thrifty turf that is green and 

 healthy; gardens where wonder- 

 ful colors and perfumes vie with, 

 the less attractive but equally 

 welcome greens and berries, all 

 depend upon the same black soil 

 to nourish, develop and bring to 

 perfection.

 is required of it unless it is kept

Just an Inkling 



of What a Greenhouse 



Will Do for You 



OF course you know about 

 the roses, carnations, or 

 orchids it will grow for 

 you, but did you know you 

 could also have melons like 

 those in the illustration — mel- 

 ons so heavy they must be 

 supported in nets? 



Did you know that you 

 could grow them in a com- 

 partment of a house only n 

 feet wide? 



Did you know you could 

 use another compartment for 

 strawberries, tomatoes, and but- 

 tery golden wax beans? 



Did you know you could have 

 an aquatic pool under the bench, 

 and on the same bench grow 

 snap dragons and sweet peas? 



Did you know you could 

 have bloom-laden nasturtiums 

 climbing up the columns and 

 Cherokee roses blooming against 

 the workroom partition? 



Did you know — but why 

 multiply the endless "did you 

 knows?" You have doubtless 

 already made up your mind to 

 write us and find out all about 

 greenhouses ; and especially 

 what such a house as the one 

 you want will cost? Along 

 with our answer to your letter, 

 we will send you our Catalog 



— one of over ioo pages. 



The illustrations are many 



— the text a bit brief — but 

 decidedly informative. 



Let us hear from you.

Water -Ballast "Any weight" Roller 



Don't spoil your lawn with a cumbersome fixed-weight roller that pulls like a load of lead and 

 is always too heavy or too light for the conditions. A soft spring lawn demands a very 

 light roller — a dry lawn or a tennis court a heavier one. Remember — less money buys 

 a really perfect machine — an 



^ " Anyweight " — up to > /2 ton 



BY OUNCES IF YOU WISH 



Runs easily under heaviest ballast — a hollow, hardened steel, 

 rust-proof drum — filled or emptied in a jiffy — will last a life- 

 time. Made -in one or two sections — drums boiler-rivetted or 

 acetylene-welded — various sizes.
