The "Illinois'* Self Watering Tloioer Boxes 



BOLGIANO & SON, Sole Agents ~.~* 



1 



Made entirely of Metal and will last for years. Will not rust or leak. Require Attention about 



once every 20 Days. Made for Porches, Windows, Hanging Baskets, Jardinieres and Special Designs. 



To have beautiful flowers growing and blooming 

 both in winter and summer is one of the dearest 

 desires of the model housekeeper. 



"But," you say, "they are so hard to raise." 



That is because they do not receive water regular- 

 ly, or because they receive too much at once or not 

 enough, or because the water poured on them, 

 when evaporated leaves the earth baked hard and 

 literally smothers the life out of the roots. Many 

 housekeepers have an idea that gas lights in the 

 house are detrimental to the growth of flowers. 

 This idea is entirely erroneous as n-arly all florists 

 light their places with gas. We have the word of 

 some of the most prominent florists that gas has no effect on flowers 

 unless it escapes in large quantities and that the mere burning of gas 

 lamps in the room where flowers are growing has no injurious effects 

 on them whatever.

The water is poured into the bottom of the box 

 through a tube extending upward through the soil, 

 thus avoiding the annoyance of the water running 

 overanddown on the window or porch below. The 

 sponges, shown in cut through holes in false bottom, 

 convey just enough water to the soil above to give the 

 plants a thrifty and healthy growth. They will not take 

 ?no>-e than they need. The water compartment holds 

 sufficient to supply the soil for from 15 to 30 days. 

 Think of it — you can leave home for a visit of two weeks 

 and know that your favorite plants will not suffer for 

 water during your absence. IVe positively guarantee 

 _ they will not leak. Wooden boxes soon rot and leak 

 badly and are not in any way one half so satisfactory as are the, "Illinois" 

 Boxesalthough they cost nearly if not quite as much. Then too you must 

 pour the water on top the soil which soon hardens it. With our method the 

 water is taken from below and surface never becomes hardened or baked.

The "Illinois" Fireless Cooker 



1.10 

 1.25 



Pays for itself twice a year in fuel saved. Made entirely of heavy galvanized 

 iron. No trouble, no odors. Cooks to perfection all kinds of meats, fish, 

 cereals, vegetables, soups, etc. 



No one, regardless of financial circumstances can afford to be without the "Illinois Fireless 

 Cooker." If the question of fuel economy is no object, there is always the satisfaction of having 

 the food more deliciously prepared than in the old fashioned way. Meats cooked in the Illinois 

 lose none of the delicious flavor that is lost wnen the steam has a chance to evaporate. Beans, 

 carrots, onions, tomatoes, in fact all vegetables come out of the cooker whole, but thoroughly 

 cooked and are much more palatable than when cooked the ordinary way, besides avoiding all the 

 disngreeable odors of cooking that permeate all parts of the house. 



Splendid book of recipes furnished free with each Cooker. $9.00 and $15-00 sizes.
