BURLAP MATS. 
For Protecting Cold Frames and Hotbeds. 
” These are 6x6 feet square, made of strong burlap bagging. warmly lined with waste 
wool and cotton, which is quilted in to hold position. They are excellent substitutes 
for straw mats, being if anything, warmer than straw, more easily handled, less bulky, 
and they do not harbor mice or other vermin. We were afraid that they would hold 
moisture, and either rot or mildew, but our trial for two winters proves them to be far 
more durable than straw mats. ¢ 
Price, 8sc. each, $9.00 per dozen.

DEAN’S AUTOMATIC MOLE TRAP. 
The Best Trap Made. 
It is easier set than any other trap. Simply pull the plunger 
and it sets itself. It will catch moles when quite deep in the 
ground, and there being no pin or other obstruction projecting into 
the run, there is nothing to frighten the mole as it passes, and in 
doing so raises the ground enough to spring the trigger. The 
points of the pins being in the ground, it cannot injure comestic 
animals. DEAN’S AUTOMATIC

BEST QUALITY DIAMOND GLASS CUTTER. 
A most useful implement, and better 
than any other cutter. Wili never lose 
the point. It works entirely different 
from all others, having a diamond in one 
corner and a wheel in the other, thus 
giving a sure cut. 
Hold the diamond as shown in cut 
(against a ruler.) Place the perpen- 
dicular on the glass, so it rests on the 
Diamond and Guide-Wheel—the Wheel 
towards you. Press cn it gradually; 
until it makes a singing sound, not a 
harsh noise. 
Draw over the glass slowly and uni- 
formly, never cut twice in the same 
place.

twice the size of the one in the Ebony

MASTICA 
GLAZING 
MACHINE. 
$1.25 each. 
Every florist has experienced difficulty in obtaining putty (whether 
ordinary or white lead), for glazing, that is satisfactory for any length 
of time. The fact is, putty is not adapted for greenhouse work. 
After much study, the inventor of *‘Mastica’’ decided that the composition must be 
of different material, and the qualities must be elastic and tenacious to admit of expan- 
sion and contraction without cracking. ‘‘Mastica,’”’ when applied, ina few hours forms 
a skin or film on the entire mass, hermitically sealing the substance and preventing the 
evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable and elastic condition for years. 
‘*Mastica”’ is of great value in going over old houses with a putty bulb or machine on 
ue outside of sash as it makes it p:rfectly tight and saves the expense of relaying the 
glass. 
Prices of Mastica, (soft for machine application), 35c. per quart; 6oc. per 
¥% gallon; $1.00 per gallon. 
THE “PLUMLEY”’ 
FRUIT PICKER. 
A very simple device, without springs 
or machinery to get out of order or in- 
jure the fruit, which is pulled off by 
three curved iron fingers, and it rolls 
easily down a cloth tube, the bottom of 
which can be held in a basket or barrel. 
By holding the cloth tube with one 
hand the fall of each fruit is checked, 
and can be Jet out as easily as the oper- 
ator desires, preventing bruising. As 
the picker does not have to be Jowered 
with each fruit, as with some pickers, 
the result is, ten times as much can be 
picked, and with great ease, by one 
person. The length of the tube is 11% 
feet, enabling a man of ordinary height 
to reach fruit 16 feet from the ground, 
and as much lower as desired by having 
poles of different lengths. We do not ax) 
furnish poles. = Rasuih
