PARK AND 
CEMETERY. 
XV 
PLAN 101 
Davenport Park, Davenport, Iowa, needed propagating 
houses, so while tliey were about it, they put up a fine 
palm house and two curvilinear w’ings as. well. That’s a 
way they have in the West — nothing done by halves. 
They keep just a little ahead of their real needs. That’s 
why they always seem to be always ready. 
Don’t put up a house 11x25 feet when you ought to 
have one 18x50 feet. The small house costs a lot more 
in proportion. Get what you ought to have and get it 
from Lord & Burnham Co. Send for our catalogue.

Every Landscape 
Gardener 
Would buy a 
Bostrom Improved 
Builder’s Level 
if he would just drop us a line to sliip one for Inspec- 
tion and Approval. We say that because we have 
never known a Park Superintendent, Landscape Gar- 
dener, Grounds Foreman, Surveyor, or even Instrument 
Manufacturer to inspect a BOS'TROM LEVEL who did 
not concede that at the price there had been nothing 
yet produced which would compare with the Bostrom 
in all the necessary essentials of a Simple, Accurate, 
and thoroughly dependable level. 
Another thing, the Bostrom Level possesses means of 
adjustment for proving its accuracy, not surpassed by 
the highest priced Engineer's Level, and this principle 
is applied in such a novel and simple manner that even 
the inexperienced operator can prove his work right 
on the spot, and it can be done in a mere fraction of 
the time required to prove the accuracy of any other 
level, regardless of price. 
You have to examine the Bostrom Level to appre- 
ciate all of its merits, but the above features alone 
make sales on sight, and a sale always means a 
Bostrom endorser. 
We back up every statement we make with a GUAR- 
ANTEE of satisfaction or money hack. 
Our terms are cash with order, or shipment made 
C. O. D. SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION, prices No. 3, 
.$25.00; No. 4, $30.00, f. o. b. Atlanta; shipping weight, 
15 lbs., and complete outfit includes Level, Tripod, 
Graduated Hardwood Rod (not furnished by any other 
manufacturer without extra charge), 'Target and 
Plumb-bob, Trivet, and neat Oak Box for keeping Level 
when not in use. Eye piece in No. 3 Telescope has 
magnifying power of 10 to 12 diameters, with sliding 
focus; and eye piece in No. 4 Telescope has magnifying 
power of 18 to 20 diameters, with rack and pinion 
focus. 
If you are needing a Level at once, order direct from 
this article, as we do not even require that you guar- 
antee express charges (and no other instrument manu- 
facturer ever made such an offer). We don’t hesitate 
to do it, for we don’t feel that we are taking any risk, 
as we have shipped thousands of Levels in that man- 
ner, and the enthusiastic endorsements of these pur- 
chasers give us the unlimited confidence that the 
Intrument will please you. If you are not needing 
Level right away, write for full description and get 
acquainted with the Bostrom before buying. Bostrom’s 
Levels are used and endorsed in every State in the 
Union, and are rapidly taking the place of instruments 
much higher in price, and you owe it to yourself to 
inspect the Bostrom before buying.
