Anchor Hammock Ropes 



The Spreaders are made fn 

 wood, bent bow-shape. They 

 vided with hooks on the lower edge, 

 which fasten into the, netting if the 

 Hammock and hold the Spreaders 

 firmly in position. These Spreaders 

 are placed at each end of the, Ham- 

 mock, as shown in cut. They are 

 readily removable for stowing the 

 Hammock conveniently away. 



The Spreaders keep the, Hammock 

 open like a cot, and remove its cramp- 

 ing propensities entirely. 



The Pillow consists of a strip of 

 cotton duck, 18 inches long and 0 

 inches wide; it is provided with a 

 hook at each end, and is shorter than 

 that part of the Hammock over which 

 it extends, so that it will be drawn 

 taut when the Hammock is properly 

 suspended, and thereby ele vated above 

 the central part of the Hammock, con-

This desirable variety was hi st introduced by us in 

 1878, anil lias since been thoroughly tested in ail parts 

 of the country, and has proved to 'be ten to fourteen 

 days earlier than the ordinary variety.- grown along 

 sided them, -and fully equal in productiveness and 

 quality. For this reason it can be strongly reconi 

 mended for cultivation in the Northern states, where 

 the old variety cannot be grown.
