IgLj ff The Growth of 
A New Idea 
"0 
* 
But seven short years ago, a new cultivat- 
ing-weeding idea was born. Struggling through 
garden work with old fashioned tools—chop¬ 
ping the soil inch by inch, proved too slow 
and tiresome work for a man with an in¬ 
ventive turn of mind. After considerable 
experimenting the founder of this busi¬ 
ness invented the Gilson Dubl-Duti— 
the greatest scuffle hoe extant. Other 
new tools followed. To-da> the 
entire line is accorded nation-wide 
recognition.

A Voice In The Wilderness? = 
S OME of my friends tell me no one cares 
about “prophets” any longer! But I am 
convinced that I’ll find a few friends ready 
to listen to strange lore. 
The climate of western Washington is like that of 
Holland. The wonderful growth and increase of the 
small planting of Narcissus bulbs made in this soil and 
in this climate years ago demonstrated that nowhere 
can better bulbs be grown in greater quantity than here. 
These American bulbs have the very great advant¬ 
age of being much more early to bloom when “forced” 
under glass as well as when planted outdoors. For 
naturalising in the woods and meadows, in the lawns of 
town and county places the bulbs may be had here and 
planted in the pleasant planting month of September 
They bloom the following spring. 
Those who begin to plant large quantities of Nar¬ 
cissi bulbs now will soon find themselves in advance of 
a very popular movement, especially plantings out of 
doors, called naturalizing. 
Narcissus once planted need no attention, growing 
and multiplying as do the wild flowers, hence are as 
permanent investment as are shrubs.
