American Grown Bulbs 
of DAFFODILS Ready 
in September! 
And the sooner you plant 
them, the more root action 
will result and the better 
will be blooming results 
next Spring. Our American 
bulbs have the very great 
advantage of being much 
more early to bloom when 
“forced” under glass as well 
as when planted outdoors. 
For naturalizing in the 
woods and meadows, in the 
lawns of town and country 
places the bulbs may be had 
here and planted in the 
pleasant planting month of 
September. 
N arcissus once planted 
need no attention, growing 
and multiplying as do the 
wild flowers, hence are a 
permanent investment as 
are shrubs. 
Send One Dollar by way of 
[Sow JOT Action . experiment and I will mail you 
postpaid, 30 fine Daffodil Bulbs. I advise planting 
“Queen of the Chalice Cups.”

Every idle stream or waterfall that is put to work, and furnishes light and power to homes and factories 
many miles away, means a saving in coal and, what is more important, a saving in human energies. 
How far can a waterfall fall? 
Improvements in elec¬ 
trical development do 
not “happen.” They 
come from the tireless 
research of trained 
scientists. The General 
Electric Company in¬ 
vests in the work of its 
Research Laboratories 
more than a million dol¬ 
lars a year. 
In 1891 General Electric Company 
equipped an electric plant at Pom¬ 
ona, California, for transmitting 
electric power 28 miles—a record. 
Today electric power from a water¬ 
fall is carried ten times as far. 
Some day remote farm homes will 
have electricity and streams that 
now yield nothing will be yielding 
power and light.
