And you know 
what coal costs! 
Saving coal is impor¬ 
tant, but saving human 
energy is much more 
important. General 
Electric Company de¬ 
signs and produces the 
equipment by which 
electricity does both. 
Fifty-one G-E electric locomotives 
are now doing the same work 
which 130 coal and oil-burning 
engines used to do on the 650 mile 
electrified sections of the Chicago, 
Milwaukee and St. Paul. 
Engineers estimate that the com¬ 
plete electrification of our rail¬ 
roads would save over 100 million 
tons of coal a year.

FRYER’S NEW IRIS 
I have thousands of mixed seedlings of the tall bearded Iris, and am offering 
them at $6.00 per 100 plants, and will give 50 or more varieties in each order for 
100 plants. 
As I am not naming one in 1G0O, you are liable to get something good, and the pleasure you 
will derive in watching them bloom will well repay you for the small sum invested. If Iris are 
planted in July and August a good share of them will bloom the following season. 
I have a fine stock of Delphinium, and I believe there are no better varieties to be found in 
the country. I am offering them for $2.50 per dozen for two year old plants, and unless it is a large 
plant that has been divided there will be no two alike. 
They can be planted from the first of August until late fall. If to be sent prepaid, add one 
cent per plant to the third zone, and two cents per plant beyond that.

F ROM Easter frosts and a tardy spring we 
almost leap into the lap of June. Are your 
roses ready? Have they been well nourished, 
well cultivated and every vestige of dead leaf 
or branch cleanly clipped off and removed? 
Good! Then you’ve made the right start. 
Would you know how to find great pleasure in 
your Roses? Learn to share them. Everyone 
likes roses. You will have doubled their value 
when you double the number of people who 
enjoy them. So invite your friends to see your 
Roses or take your Roses to them, so they may 
feed upon the peace and sweetness to be found 
in these divine gifts of Nature. 
Who else in your bailiwick grows Roses—so you 
can compare notes. One way to find out is to 
join the American Rose Society, 606 Finance 
Building, Philadelphia, Pa., and get their list 
of 3000 members geographically arranged. If 
you find the people near enough why not get 
up a little Rose Show? The American Rose 
Society Secretary will tell you how. 
Another American Rose Society treat will be the 
Rose Pilgrimages in June—Washington, D. C.; 
Syracuse, N. Y.; Hartford, Conn.; Boston, 
Mass.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Portland, Oregon; 
and Seattle, Wash. 
But after all, what can surpass your own Roses 
about your own home? Mildew and Black 
Spot can be prevented if you start first. Every 
week or two apply “All-In-One” with intelli¬ 
gence and keep 
our Roses in full 
your Kosi 
foliage — that 
half the joy. 
Buy CONARD Roses and be 
successful—they’re guaranteed to 
bloom. Each rose bears a dur¬ 
able celluloid star tag to identify 
the variety in your garden. No 
other roses have this feature.
