open garden a month earlier. The same thing 
can be done with all kinds of seeds and plants.

early market. Cheap enough to use ’em by the 
thousand. 
Cucumbers Melons 
and anv kind of vegetables can be matured two 
to three weeks earlier than by any other method. 
Take the hint — it’s the early crops that bring in 
the money. 
Send for my big 40 page catalog beautifully 
illustrated with pictures and letters from the lead- 
ing Agricultural Experiment Stations as well as 
customers who have tested and proved beyond a 
doubt that there is a new era in store for the gar- 
dener who realizes the importance of being first 
fiddler on the early market. Write now; delay 
means lost opportunity. Costs you nothing but 
one cent on a postal card and it may mean the differ- 
erence between loss and profit this coming season.

sive, is a Sun Catcher and not a Sun Shader. It 
is comprised of nothing but glass and wire. 
They cause your garden to grow more quickly 
in spite of frosts, cold winds, and heavy rains; in- 
sures you flowers and vegetables weeks ahead of 
your neighbors.

TRIPLEX 
LAWN 
MOWER 
(PATENT PENDING) 
The Greatest Grass- 
Cutter on Earth, Cuts a 
Swath 86 inches wide 
Drawn by one horse and operated by one 
man, the Triplex Mower will mow more 
lawn in a day than the best motor mower 
ever made, and cut it better and at a 
fraction of the cost. 
Drawn bv one horse and operated by one 
man, it will mow more lawn in a day than 
any three other horse drawn mowers with 
three horses and three men. (We guar- 
antee this.) 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship 
rides the waves. One mower may be climb- 
ing a knoll, a second skimming the level 
and a third paring a hollow. 
Does not smash the grass to earth and 
plaster it in the mud in springtime, neither 
does it crush the life out of the grass 
between hot rollers and hard, hot ground 
in summer, as does the motor mower. 
Write for catalogue illustrating all types of lawn 
mowers until list of users (Free).

grounds or farm, make your selection with this in mind. 
We will gladly suggest the cart best suited to the work, if you tell us for what purpose.
