Our New Wire Has Double the Heat Treatment in the Zinc Bath—the 
Proper and Only Way to Give a Heavier Coating with Lasting Quality 
This new galvanizing insulates the wire with zinc, or spelter. The wire passes 
through a long molten bath where it accumulates this greater protective coating, 
thus inseparably uniting the zinc with the steel. 
You know, of course, that all fence wire is galvanized—to protect it from rust— 
to make it last longer, in all kinds of weather. 
Perhaps you don’t know that there’s as much difference in galvanized coatings as 
there is in the thickness of bark on trees. 
It is not only the amount of zinc applied that gives the wire long life, but the coating must 
be uniform and even to be durable and made inseparably a part of the steel. 
The temperature of the bath, the great length of time the wire takes to pass through it, the great 
amount of zinc that can be applied by this process without cracking or peeling—all these are im¬ 
portant factors. 
Our Zinc Insulated Wire Fences Have 4-0% 
to 100% More Zinc Than Other Fences 
Our Zinc-Insulating process perfectly pro¬ 
tects the wire. It repels rust. It protects the 
wire from the oxygen in the air and the storm 
elements. It safeguards the steel. 
By this process the zinc is practically a part 
of the steel, giving it a super-protection that 
adds many years to the life of the wire. As a 
result, OUR WIRE FENCE WILL OUTLAST 
ANY OTHER WIRE FENCE MADE, and its 
use greatly reduces your fence cost per year 
to say nothing of the better protection its 
staunchness and sturdiness insures. 
All our Farm Fences—of every brand — 
American, Royal, Anthony, National, Ellwood 
andU.S.—are Zinc-insulated —at no extra charge. 
Some wire fence makers market several 
qualities—a very small percentage of their 
total production bearing even good galvaniz¬ 
ing, and that usually sold at a marked price 
advance. It all looks alike. You can t tell the 
grades apart. We make one grade only. 
When you buy this ZINC INSULATED 
FENCE you are purchasing added years of 
fence service, without extra charge. 
Your local dealer sells Zinc Insulated Fence and toe stand back of 
him for your protection. We prepay the freight to the dealer.

New England Notes 
Remarkable Bridge-grafting. —A re¬ 
markable example of bridge-grafting has 
come to my attention from Essex county 
and is shown in the accompanying illus¬ 
tration. The tree has been badly dam¬ 
aged as the result of an ice-storm. The 
ice made a casing all over the trunk, and 
the hot sun shining on it caused the bark 
to die over a wide area. The county 
agent, Bertram Tomlinson, was asked if 
he could save the tree, but not until 
June, when it was too late, of course, to 
obtain scions in the ordinary way. As it 
happened, however, Mr. Tomlinson 
An Unusual Case of Bridge-grafting 
knew where some scions were being held 
in cold storage and on July 2 carried out 
a bridge-grafting operation which re¬ 
quired 14 scions. In spite of the late¬ 
ness of the season the work was a com¬ 
plete success and the tree is now in 
good condition. 
Market Celery. —In spite of more or 
less trouble from disease, celery still 
remains one of the most profitable crops 
for New England market gardeners, but 
the fact seems apparent that more per¬ 
sistent spraying must be done. Some 
new strains of celery are being put on 
the market but few give more satisfactory 
result than Easy Bleaching, which has 
largely replaced Paris Golden, and is 
fairly immune to disease. Many market 
gardeners make a point of sowing celery 
seed about the first of March in green¬ 
houses for July and August celery. The 
seed is started in flats, and when the 
plants have grown their rough leaves 
they are transplanted to other fiats, or 
perhaps to cold frames. It is important 
that the seed be sown very thinly and an 
even temperature maintained. Checks in 
the growth of early celery are believed to 
be responsible for the development of 
seed stalks, which make the celery 
worthless. Easy Bleaching celery for 
September and October crops may be 
sown in the fields. The Clabred strain 
of Golden Self-blanching celery, about 
which considerable is being heard just 
now, seems to be an improved form of the 
old Vilmorin strain with thinner leaf 
stalks. It is said to do especially well 
on muck land. 
Berry Fruits. —I am glad to say that 
the new red raspberry Latham is now 
being handled by nurserymen in the 
East. This is the variety which was 
first put out as Minnesota No. 4, having 
been originated at the Minnesota experi¬ 
ment station. In my garden it has 
proved exceptionally satisfactory, win¬ 
tering without loss and producing a 
large amount of midseason fruit which 
hangs well on the plants and is of "ood 
marketable size. I know of no better 
fruit for selling at wayside stands than 
the raspberry and I believe that Latham 
will prove very successful in New Eng¬ 
land and New York, where perfectly 
hardy varieties are none too plentiful. 
Howard No. 17 has proved the best new 
strawberry that has appeared in New 
England for years. It is a good berry 
for the home garden and good for ship¬ 
ping. It is being planted more heavily, 
probably, than any other kind and nearly 
all reports are favorable. Another 
strawberry and one which has an inter¬ 
esting history is called Wild Wonder, 
and is a cross betw r een the common wild 
strawberry and Big Ben, the latter a 
very large kind but of rather poor quality. 
Big Ben has given the new berry size 
and the wild berry has given it flavor. 
The fruit is borne in clusters on strong 
stems that keep the fruit off the ground 
and the plants have such heavy foliage 
that they require little or no mulching 
in Winter. This may never prove to be 
a prominent commercial berry, but I be¬ 
lieve that there will be a place for it in 
the home garden. e. i. Farrington.
