169 
Catalogues for 1902 . 
[CONTINUED.] 
Henry A. Dkker, Inc., Philadelphia, 
Pa.—Dreer’s Garden Calendar, 208 
pages; beautiful cover and colored plates 
of vegetables, sweet peas and hardy 
flowering plants. This is the hand¬ 
somest annual yet issued by this relia¬ 
ble house. Besides the immense range 
of articles catalogued, there is a full list 
of late introductions and novelties. The 
“Barberton daisy,” Gerbera Jamesoni, is 
offered probably for the first time in this 
country at 50 cents each. The brilliant- 
colored representation of this exceed¬ 
ingly distinct flowering plant on the 
catalogue cover does scant justice to the 
reality. Prominent among the many 
Modest in size, but of much interest. A 
general collection of new strawberries 
and small fruits is offered, and some 
novelties are made prominent. Oom 
Paul is a promising strawberry, raised 
by I. S. Palmer. It is described as 
“stupendous in size, delicious in flavor, 
nice shape and elegant color, best ship¬ 
ping quality; six berries filled a quart 
box. Very prolific, and produces no 
small berries.” If this berry has the 
sturdy and reliable character of its 
namesake it will be a wonder indeed. 
The Dorothy Perkins rose, a cross be¬ 
tween Wichuraiana and Mme. Gabriel 
Luizet, a popular Hybrid Perpetual, is 
made a great feature. It is a climbing 
rose of the Crimson Rambler type, but 
has pink flowers. 
Corn Planting 
must be well and carefully done, as the fu¬ 
ture crop depends upon it. For ail purposes, 
in any soil, on all kinds or 
ground nothing equals the 
SPANGLER

way to the ground. Made with or without fertilizer 
attachment. New device for sowing peas, beans, ensi¬ 
lage, corn, ete. We also make the famous Spangler Low-

DOLLARS or DIMES 
Which Do You Prefer? 
It is but slight exaggeration to say 
SUCCESS ‘33s WEEOER 
and thorough preparation of the soil before planting 
crops, will cause your farm to produce dollars where 
you are now getting dimes. If you are satisfied with 
dimes, all right, but of course you prefer dollars.

ments on our patent. Selling or using them is unsafe.

That is the capacity of our new factories shown above. The old were unequal to the de 
rnand upon them. We had to build greater. The new plant is constructed so that skilled labor 
science, conditions and appliances may conspire to make the perfect wind mill. It covers six 
and a half acres of ground. We believe it makes the best mill in the world. 
The Samson 
is all that its name implies. Equally adapted to 
light work or deep water raising. You may call 
upon it for whatever power is required. The 
material is galvanized steel. The tower is lithe and graceful. Every 
part of the completed whole is equal to any test of strength that may 
by any possibility be put upon it. Like our factory, the Samson wind 
mill lias grown with us. We confidently assert that in the Samson the 
nearest approach to perfection is to be found. We fully guarantee the 
Samson wind mills. Write for our free handsome illustrated catalogue.
