A Better Lawn f 
At Less Expense 
T HE Fuller & Johnson Motor Lawn 
Mower is designed for the large lawn 
with numerous flower beds, trees, etc. 
where great flexibility as well as large cutting 
capacity is required. 
This wonderful Mower is large enough to cut 
five acres a day yet light enough not to 
mar the turf, and so extremely flexible 
that it will cut close up to and around trees, 
under shrubbery and along walks and driveways thus 
entirely eliminating the necessity for cleaning up after- 
wards with a hand mower. The 
Fuller & Johnson 
MOTOR LAWN MOWER 
is scientifically designed and built as a complete unit. 
Indeed its balance and the details of the mechanical 
features of the mower have received as close consider- 
ation as has the motor itself. If it were possible to 
dismember this wonderful Motor Lawn Mower before 
you. you would marvel at the extraordinary thought 
and study given to the planning of its smallest 
feature — the infinite care used in the finishing and 
adjusting of its smallest part — yet its greatest charac- 
teristic is simplicity.

Put Your Planting Problems Up to Meehan 
Meehan Service — personal, individual service — superior because it is the 
result of sixty years of cumulative experience — is at your command. 
No matter whether your home grounds are large or 
limited in area — write us, question us freely. Your 
letter will be assigned to and answered by an expert 
plantsman, who has studied your section, knows its 
climatic and soil conditions, and will give you prac- 
tical and helpful suggestions accordingly. This 
preliminary advice is offered you without charge and 
without obligation. 
The Meehan Planting Plan 
For Average Places 
For thp ordinary city or suburban lot, or for places 
up to one acre, we have devised a “New Property 
Data Form,” on which you can easily give us the 
information necessary to an intelligent consideration 
of your needs. When you write, ask for this form. 
The Landscape Department 
Members of our professional staff are now planning 
their visiting routes for the next three months. One 
of them will soon be in your vicinity. If you will 
write us at once and say it will be agreeable, it is 
likely that he can arrange, without expense to you, 
to call on you while in your vicinity, inspect your 
property and talk the matter over with you in person. 
In this connection, we offer a service of special inter- 
est to those whose grounds need periodical attention. 
Our visiting Plantsman will, if desired, prepare a 
written report covering his recommendations in 
detail; perhaps take data for plan work; set stakes 
for incidental plantings or the reconstruction of a 
walk or drive, or arrange for the execution of any 
other landscape improvement contemplated. Be- 
cause our business is countrywide, the cost of this 
sort of high grade professional service is brought 
to a minimum through distribution of expense over 
several visits in the same locality. It is always more 
than covered by the saving in avoiding mistakes and 
consequent loss of time and money. 
THOUSANDS OF CHARMING HOMES 
all over the country owe their beautiful setting of Trees, Shrubs and Hardy 
Flowering Plants to Meehan service and Meehan stock. This is planning time ! 
Planting time will be here before you realize it. Better write us at once — TO-DAY • 
Let us send you our unique Hand-Book of Trees, Shrubs and Hardy Flowering Plant9 
for 1917 . It is FREE.
