“BUFFALO” Portable 
FENCING SYSTEM

B’ 
lUFFALO” PORTABLE FENCING SYSTEM is the result of more than 
half a century of experience in the manufacture of wire products, and for 
years has been in use at the largest kennels and finest country estates in America. 
With the “BUFFALO" System you can build large or small, inexpensive en¬ 
closures for chickens, ducks, geese, dogs or other small animals or fowl. It is neat 
in appearance, and can be erected or shifted about 
easily and quickly without the use of clumsy or heavy tools. 
Its use prevents yards from becoming barren and unsightly, 
and it permits a separation of different breeds of chickens or 
puppies and of puppies from larger animals or their mothers.

Hedge Trimming Made Easy 
Just as “the man with the scythe" has found his primitive im¬ 
plement laid aside for the more modern machinery, “The Mowing 
Machine,” likewise the SIMPLICITY has come to do away with 
the slow and laborious method of hedge trimming. 
SIMPLICITY HEDGE TRIMMER 
For fresh new growth only 
The SIMPLICITY HEDGE TRIMMER works so rapidly 
and easily that it makes frequent cuttings possible. 
No experience is necessary to do a first-class job with the 
SIMPLICITY. Anyone can operate it, everyone wants to 
operate it when they see it. 
To get a thick, beautiful hedge, it is necessary to trim it often, at 
least every three weeks. When the hedge is trimmed, new shoots 
sprout out immediately hack where the foliage is freshly cut. 
The SIMPLICITY trims every variety of hedge grown. Will 
trim a hedge to any shape and cut desired. 
Make your hedge trimming a pleasure by ordering a SIM¬ 
PLICITY to-day.

When to Plant Irises 
Y ES, “Irises (Bearded) can be planted any month 
in the year,” which is perfectly true in Southern 
California. It is reasonable however, that if planted 
in a climate where the ground is frozen during the 
winter, that the sooner they are planted after flower¬ 
ing, the better the result. New roots then forming 
will make their growth in their permanent location, 
becoming well established and thus less likely to be 
heaved out of the ground with frost. 
The best results will be obtained in Southern 
California if planting is done before the rainy season. 
Place your orders early this year and see if this 
advice is not good. 
If you have not received our new price list, drop 
us a card and we will mail you a copy.
