The Noiselessness of the Siwelclo is an Ad¬ 
vantage Found in No Other Similar Fixture 
The largest manufacturers of sanitary 
pottery in the U. S. A. 
This appeals particularly to those whose sense of 
refinement is shocked by the noisy flushing of the old- 
style closet. The Siwelclo was designed to prevent such 
embarrassment and lias been welcomed whenever its noise¬ 
less feature has become known. When properly installed 
it cannot be heard outside of its immediate environment. 
SIWELCLO 
Noiseless Si Sa n Closet 
Every sanitary feature has been perfected in the 
Siwelclo — deep water seal, preventing the passage of 
sewer gas, thorough flushing, etc. 
The Siwelclo is made of Trenton Potteries Co. Vitreous 
China, with a surface that actually repels dirt like a china 
plate. It is glazed at a temperature 1000 degrees higher 
than is possible with any other material. 
The most sanitary and satisfactory materials for all bath¬ 
room, kitchen and laundry fixtures are Trenton Potteries 
Co. Vitreous China and Solid Porcelain. Your architect 
and plumber will recommend them. If you are planning 
a new house, or remodeling, you ought to see the great 
variety and beauty of design such as 
are shown in our new free booklet

hole and pack the dirt firmly around it, 
continuing in this manner until all are 
transplanted. 
During the summer, we had peas and 
string-beans from the time they started to 
bear until frost. This was also the case 
with the bush limas and corn, after they 
started to bear. I planted lettuce twice, 
and had so many heads that we did not 
know what to do with them all. In the 
spring, we planted Swiss chard, and we 
had cuttings from this all through the 
summer up to frost. From two small 
rows we took out over fifty squashes. Our 
parsley was so successful, we supplied 
quite a number of the neighbors all sum¬ 
mer and all through the winter, as I kept 
it covered with straw and old carpet, and, 
at this time — the following spring — it is 
still as good as ever. 
The garden was a never-ending source 
of delight to the children, who would go 
out into it and pull up a carrot or pick a 
tomato at will. At the end of the season, 
we placed in an outdoor pit over 100 
heads of cabbage, about one peck of 
onions, two pecks of turnips and leaks, 
and two large pumpkins, from which we 
had pumpkin-pie on Thanksgiving Day. 
For the various vegetables, their names, 
the number of crops, position of each, etc., 
see the "-scale plan on page 140. On the 
plan the small crosses indicate the position 
of each tomato plant. The solid lines indi¬ 
cate the first crop, the dot-dash lines indi¬ 
cate the second crop, and the small dash 
lines indicate the third crop. Each line is 
labeled with the name or names of the crop 
planted at that point. By looking care¬ 
fully at this plan, you will see that a large 
variety of different vegetables were 
planted. The returns in money for the 
various vegetables which were taken from 
the garden are as follows :
