ROSES GROWN FROM SEED. 



Last April I planted a packet of rose 

 seed in a five-inch pot filled with rich soil 

 and broken rock for drainage. In about 

 two weeks five tiny rose plants appeared 

 which, when they had the fourth and fifth 

 leaves, I transplanted to thumb pots and 

 covered with tumblers. When they be- 

 came root-bound I transferred them to 

 larger pots. In July three of them had 

 tiny cream colored bloomers. One is now 

 about eighteen inches high and they are 

 all doing well. When spring comes I will 

 plant them in the yard and leave them out 

 next winter.

[ There must be a certain amount of fascination 

 about growing roses from seed. You probably 

 know that the common roses offered for sale, such 

 as teas, everbloomers and hybrids, are raised from 

 cuttings exclusively. Roses from seed are gener- 

 ally grown to obtain new varieties only.] 



THE BOSTON FERN. 



The Boston fern is so easily grown, I 

 wonder every person does not have one. 

 In May I bought a small plant in a four- 

 inch pot and about eight inches high. I 

 repotted it in a ten-inch pot in good, rich, 

 porous soil with good drainage, I kept it 

 in a cool, shady place with plenty of 

 water, it grew very fast during the sum-

15 MACHINEFUI.S IN 4 HOURS. 



Chicago, July 13, 1900. 

 Last week I started to wash with your 1900 Bail-Bearing 

 Washer. A neighbor saw me wash my little boys' waists (which 

 were terribly dirtj') and we were both surprised to see there 

 was not a spot left. On Monday we did a bip wash of 15 

 machinefuls and the work was done in 4 hours. It is the best 

 machine I ever saw (and I have tried many.) It works so easy 

 that my little boy can run it. Mrs. A. H. Centneb,

Wheeler, S. T)ak., Aug. 30, '99. 

 I am more than pleased with the 1900 washer. Last week my 

 mother, an old lady 81 years helped me do my washing. She 

 sat on a chair and did a large 2 weeks wash with ease, and as 

 she said, without even perspiring and it was 90 in the shade.

 pleased with the washer. This speaks volumes for it, owing to

 think it the best and easies*' washing machine they have ever 

 seen. C. Williams.
