TOWNSEND'S TRIPLEX 
One mower may be climbing a knoll, the second skimming a level, 
and the third paring a hollow. 
TheGreatestGrass- 
Cutter on Earth. 
Cuts a Swath 86 
inches wide. 
Are as large as small oranges. This and the three other fan Fleet hybrid straw¬ 
berries are marvels in size, beauty and productiveness, with the true wild strawberry 
flavor. They cover the whole season, from earliest till latest. 
& Garde 
Making An Old-Fashioned Garden 
(Continued from page 58) 
is provided for entering with a cart 
in order to bring in fertilizer or take 
away refuse. On some places a 
hedged-off drive at one side could 
lead to that modern necessity, the 
garage, to be planted out as far as 
possible. 
Thus, whether you wish a trimly 
kept garden for display, a large one 
wherein to dwell ’mid joyous bloom, 
a border which will take care of 
itself, a little fenced-in plot in which 
to cultivate with your own hand a 
few of your favorite flowers, or 
have a whole backyard to lay out 
to the best practical use, the garden 
which you create may be old-fash¬ 
ioned and “homely” in that best sense 
whereby it fulfils your particular 
desire.
