teresting report gives a history of the 
work of the 15 oard since December, 1893,

way of improvement by commissioners 
sincerely devoted to a citi’s welfare. 
Since organization this Board has had the 
trees, city squares and cemeteries placed 
in its care, and Taunton may well be con- 
gratulated on what has been accomplished

The use of Jadoo fibre in the growing 
of all kinds of plants and seeds, and even 
extending to crops, is rapidly on the in- 
crease. lad'io fibre is pe it moss inpreg- 
nated with a combination of all the elo- 
m 'lits necessary to sust.iin and nourish 
pl.int life of every de cription, and the 
succers which his generally attended its 
use his suggested more extendeil opera- 
tions. There are few of the better known 
plants which have not shown a gre.uer 
development under its influence, and the 
growing of tobacco, vegetables and fruit 
have given excellent results with Jadoo 
as a food and stimulant. The American 
Jadoo Company, whose advertisement 
appears in another column, are the dis- 
trilrutors in this country from whom inter- 
esting pamphlets may be obtained. 
The Lawn Mower will soon be in de- 
mand, and among the well-known makes 
the Pastime, an advertisement of which 
appears on another page, has many im- 
provements which recommend it, a most 
important one being that by a slight ad- 
justment it can be made to cut within 
one-eighth of an inch of a curb, fence or 
tree, thei eby obviating the use ofsheais 
to liur^h ihe work. 'I'he Pastime weed 
digger is another device made by this 
comp.iiiv, ai d is an ingenious tool h r 
cutiing the rout of the weed and extract- 
ing it almost simultar.eouslv. Send lor

The users of Hobson's Standord Carts 
all speak w'ell of them. They are com- 
pact, durable, and constructed wiih espe-

line of carls should be in the hards of
