Brand’s American 
Peonies 
The peonies which bear the name of Brand 
have been selected for individual character and 
quality from half a million seedlings, bloomed 
through a period of twenty years. 
We try to have something new to interest the 
collector every year. 
We consider some of our creations to be as 
fine as were ever produced. The eagerness with 
which they are being sought by collectors every- 
where convinces us that we are not alone in 
our views. 
They are Northern Grown, thoroughly 
American and vary in price from 75 c to $ 25 . 0 x 3 
per root.

TOWNSEND’S 
TRIPLEX 
The Public is Warned not to purchase 
mowers infringing the Townsend Patent 
No. 1. 209.519. Dec. 19th. 1916 
The Greatest Grass- 
cutter on Earth, cuts a 
Swath 86 inches wide. 
S.P. TOWNSEND & CO. 
23 Central Are., Orange, N. J. 
Drawn by one horse and operated by one main, the 
TRIPLEX MOWER will mow more lawn in a day 
than the best motor mower ever made, cut it better 
and at a fraction of the cost. 
Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, it will 
mow more lawn in a day than any three ordinary 
horsedrawn mowers with three horses and three men. 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the 
waves. One mower may be climbing a knoll, the 
second skimming a level and the third paring a hollow. 
Does not smash the grass to earth and plaster it in the 
mud in springtime nor crush out its life between 
hot rollers and hard, hot ground in summer as does 
the motor mower. 
Send for Catalogue illustrating all types of TOWNSEND MOWERS.
