Lenox Improved Sprayer is one of the 

 most serviceable devices for spraying 

 plants in doors and out. Plants when 

 housed generally suffer from lack of 

 moisture, such as rain or the morning" 

 dew give them; furnace or stove heat 

 affects them badly. This srayer substi- 

 tutes a misty shower that supplies the 

 plant most naturally and completely, as 

 absolutely necessary to real success with 

 house plants. This is the only sprayer 

 that does it. Price, 75c. By mail 20c.

In answering many questions put to us 

 about artichoke sprouts, the following is 

 information given by our grower, April 

 27th, 1906: "In the box you will find one- 

 half dozen artichokes, which were grown 

 from sprouts set out after Dec. 10th. 

 These are exceptionally fine and were 

 grown in a little over 5 months from time 

 of planting the sprouts." The artichokes 

 were as fine as we have ever seen.
