TOWNSEND’S 
TRIPLEX 
LAWN 
MOWER 
(PATENT PENDING) 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on 
Earth, Cuts a Swath 86 inches 
wide. 
Drawn by one horse and operated by 
one man, the Triplex Mower will mow 
more lawn in a day than the best motor 
mower ever made, and cut it better and 
at a fraction of the cost. 
Drawn by one horse and operated by 
one man, it will mow more lawn in a 
day than any three other horse drawn 
mowers with three horses and three 
men. (We guarantee this.) 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the waves. One mower may be climb¬ 
ing a knoll, a second skimming the level and a third paring a hollow. 
Does not smash the grass to earth and plaster it in the mud in springtime, neither 
does it crush the life out of the grass between hot rollers and hard, hot ground in 
summer, as does the motor mower.

Edition 1915-16 
tells of the favorite plants that make 
the hardy garden an endless joy from 
the earliest days of|spring to the time 
when the plants must be covered for 
their winter sleep. It is a book — rather 
than a mere catalogue — describing in an 
extremely interesting way the habits, the 
form, the likes and! dislikes of my favorite 
perennial plants, with notes about the time 
of blooming and colors of the flowers. There 
are many illustrations of my Irises, Peonies, 
Delphiniums, Aquilegias, hardy Chrysanthemums, with twelve full page plates in 
natural colors, (reproduced from Lumiere plates) just as the flowers grew here 
at Wyomissing. 
Over Five Hundred Varieties of Peonies 
are accurately described, the text having been prepared from my own field notes. 
The book includes, the Irises as well as the Peonies, classifying and describing the 
hundreds of varieties and telling how and where to grow them. Other favorite 
hardy plants described are the Phloxes, Asters, Poppies, a choice selection of Roses 
together with a unique collection of the new and rare Lilacs. 
This Book is for You 
if you write for it. I trust that it will be an inspiration to you, as its predecessors 
have been to others who love the many hardy plants that are a never-failing 
source of delight, making the hardy garden a place of recreation and rest.
