BURLAP MATS. 



FOR PROTECTING COLD FRAMES AND 



HOTBEDS. 



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, $1.00 each, $11.00 per dozen. 



STRAW HOT-BED MATS. 



Made of rye straw and tarred cord. They are invaluable for throwing 

 over cold frames, hotbeds, etc., during the coldest weather. Price, size 

 3x6 feet, $1.25 each, $14.00 per doz. ; size 6x6 feet, $2.00 each, $22 00 

 per doz.

DEAN'S 



AUTOMATIC 

 MOLE TRAP. 



The Best Trap Hade. 



It is easier set than any 

 other trap. Simply pull 

 the plunger and it sets 

 itself. It will catch raoles 

 when quite deep in tbe 

 ground, and there being 

 no pin or other obstruc- 

 tion 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 in- 

 jure domestic animals. 

 Price, $1.00 each.

THE "PLUMLEY" FRUIT PICKER. 



A very simple device, without 

 springs or machinery to get out 

 of order or in jurethefruit, which 

 ispuUedoff 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 

 let out as easily as the operator 

 desires, preventing bruising. 

 As the picker does not have to 

 be lowered with each fruit, as 

 with some pickers, the result is 

 ten times as much can be 

 picked, and with greater ease, 

 by one person. The length of 

 the tube is llj^ 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 furnish 

 poles. 



Price (without pole), $1.00 

 each, or prepaid by mail, $1.15. 



WIRE FRUIT PICKER. 



A very excellent device ; can be attached to poles of any length. 

 Price, without pole, 25c. ; by mail, 35c.

 larger limbs, the tine teeth for the smaller 

 limbs. Price, 16-inch, 60c. ; 18-inch, 70c. ; 

 20-inch, 80c. 



COMBINED SAW in? CHISEL. 



The saw is twelve 

 inches long. The I 

 chisel is three' 

 inches wide, made 

 thin. A handle of convenient length can be 

 inserted. Price, 90c. 



WATERS' 

 IMPROVED 



TREE 

 PRUNER. 



The hook encircles the limb and supports 

 the blade on both sides, which allows the 

 blade to be made very thin, thereby reducing 

 the resistance of the wood, and making an 

 easier and smoother cut than any other device. 



The small fpace required for \yorking the 

 knife allows it to be used among close, dense 

 branches.
