Plants and Bulbs 



grown in these 



Self Watering Window 



Boxes and Hanging 



Pots with Henderson's 



Prepared Holland 



Fibre {see page 19) 



as a potting medium 



has proven a great 



success. 



SELF WATERING IRON WINDOW BOXES. 



These are made of sheet iron, galvanized and finished on the outside in green 

 ■enamel. They are very durable, rust proof and positively will not leak. 



The crowning merit of these boxes however is the self watering feature. 

 This is accomplished by a false bottom below which the water is contained it 

 bieing poured in through a tube in the corner that projects from the ri n to the 

 bottom. The false bottom has holes in ic in which are inserted small sponges. 

 These absorb the w-ater and it is drawn up by the soil or Fibre keeping it evenly 

 moist for a we:k or more before the water requires replenishing, thus the plants 

 do not dry out from neglect and thrive and bloom \\ith unusual luxuriance.

Note: The " Plain " self watering Window Boxes have a smooth surface — 

 enameled green, the '' Ornamental " have a design pressed in the metal which 

 as illustrated — greatly improves the effect. 



SELF WATEKING IRON HANGING POTS. 



The ordinary hanging baskets are usually an abomination when it comes to 

 watering them on account of the drip. The Self Watering Hanging Pots 



never leak a drop " and do not need water oftener than once a week, and 

 plants thrive in them grown in either soil or Fibre. To water the plants simply 

 remove the lower reservoir — a partial turn will do it — fill it with water and 

 replace. The Soil or Fibre will soon absorb the needed moisture through a 

 connecting sponge. 



Our prices do not include chain. We will supply a solid brass chain for this 

 purpose at 3c. per foot. In ordering chain, measure the distance from point 

 of suspension to where you want the top of basket and order three times that 

 amount.

The Kinney Liquid Manure Pump. 



For applying liquid manure to feed grass and 

 garden plants, this pump has no equal. Being made 

 entirely of brass and nickel plated, these pumps are, 

 not corroded by chemicals and they do not wear out. 

 Remember that 

 the water pres- 

 sure does the 

 pumping and 

 that the flow of 

 liquid fertilizer 

 through the hose, 

 diluted about one- 

 half, is even and 

 continuous as 

 long as liquid is 

 reasonably clear 

 and th;re is water 

 pressure behind it. 

 It will apph- from 

 .5 to 15 gallons of 

 liquid fertilizer a 

 minute. There 

 is no waste. You 

 screw the pump 

 to the faucet, put 

 the end of the 



suction hose into a barrel or tank of clear liquid ma- 

 nure, attach the three-fourths inch discharge hose, 

 open the faucet, and go to the end of the hose. The 

 liquid manure follows, and will keep coming as long 

 as you want it. or until the supply is exhausted. Price,
