HOUSE AND GARDEN

It's a basket 
like this 
that lightens 
the^expense 
and makes 
it easier 
to supply 
the table 
in busy 
times 
A FULL MARKET BASKET 
Is only a part of the harvest when you garden with mod¬ 
ern tools. There's the healthy out-door exercise, the joy 
of seeing things grow, the satisfaction of eating the vege¬ 
tables of your own raising, and best of all. a garden that’s 
good to look at, free of weeds — planted and cultivated 
with 
GARDEN DRILLS 
AND 
WHEEL HOES 
The Drills sow accurately in straight rows or hills 4 to 
24 inches apart. You can hoe, cultivate, ridge, weed, 
level, fine the soil, open or cover furrows, etc., with a 
Wheel Hoe. Thirty-eight combinations. Takes but 
three minutes to change from Drill to Wheel Hoe or back 
again on combined tool. 
See them at your dealer’s and write for booklet, “Gar¬ 
dening With Modern Tools’’ and copy of “Iron Age 
Farm and Garden News.”

VI. Mr. John Rose having removed the 
Caughley works to Coalport, Shropshire 
in 1814, and the Jackfield works thirty- 
four years previously, combined also the 
Swansea and Nantgarrow, Wales, fac¬ 
tories at Coalport or Colebrook-Dale in 
1820 and made there both porcelain and 
white wares. This piece is of very fine 
paste and when held to the light the fine 
coloring can be seen through the egg-shell 
like composition. The border is pleasing 
with its touches of a bronze-gilt com¬ 
bination. 
The last plate on the third row is 
one of a purplish color with birds and 
flowers. In the deep border which sur¬ 
rounds the pretty bit of Hudson River 
scenery with trees and a boat, near Fish- 
kill, New York. The mark on the back of 
this fine sample of old English ware con¬ 
sists of a circular stamp, impressed, of a 
crown surrounded by the words “Staf¬ 
fordshire Warranted.” It may be a Ste¬ 
venson bit, as the initials of the potter 
also impressed are somewhat indistinct, 
but the letter “S” is plain and suggests its 
being his work. The inscription printed 
on the reverse side of the plate also, on a 
jagged, upturned rock with a flat surface 
to the beholder, is “Nr Fishkill.” 
The lowest shelf has on the left another 
fine Davenport piece of “flow blue,” with 
bridge, trees and a handsome border. On 
the back of this piece of Staffordshire one 
is pleased to discover printed in blue an 
anchor surrounded by the words “Daven¬ 
port” “Stone China,” the figure I being 
impressed. The second plate at the angle 
in the back of the last shelf is one of 
Mulberry coloring again, and the letters 
P. W. & Co., with “Corean” are 
printed on its reverse side in a design of 
a spread eagle with ribbon festoon effect. 
Next is another in blue and white combi¬ 
nation, with a fine, lacy-like looking 
border, about the same size as the “Daven¬ 
port" piece on this same row, which meas¬ 
ures about ten inches in diameter. The 
final plate in the Baker's Dozen, which is 
in the foreground, one need hardly be 
told is one of the Willow pattern. What 
collection would be complete without it! 
On the back of this piece is found im¬ 
pressed the name of “Ashworth.” The 
design has been copied into so many 
grades of ware that one has become fa¬ 
miliar with its pictorial pattern. In some 
homes we are brought into intimate con¬ 
tact with it at meal time, and it is a good 
idea, especially where there are young 
folks in the family, to choose copies of 
good designs in dishes such as the Indian 
Tree, Willow and Onion for daily use, 
instead of impossible designs which have 
no especial meaning or artistic or educa¬ 
tional value. The Willow pattern was in¬ 
troduced in 1820 by Thomas Turner in 
Caughley, Shropshire, having been de¬ 
signed by a decorator in his employ by the 
name of Minton. 
Nine Short Stories 
in the 
March Century 
as fine a collection as an editor ever 
made — written by H. G. Wells, Allan 
Updegraff, James Hopper, etc., etc. 
In a magazine of the size of The Century, 
it is possible to print nine stories, page after 
page of beautiful illustrations, real poems 
and a comic section, and still have room for 
a number of serious papers, such as 
“WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA?” by James 
Davenport Whelpley, author of “Trade 
of the World,” describing our present deli¬ 
cate relations with Russia. The president 
of the greatest corporation in America con¬ 
siders this author an absolute authority. 
“THE NEXT STEP IN PRISON RE¬ 
FORM,” by Richard Barry, is enough to 
make a reformer of the most complacent. 
“WHAT HAVE WOMEN DONE WITH 
THE VOTE?,” by George Creel, is a ques¬ 
tion that pros., antis, and non-combatants 
will be glad to have answered. 
“ORIGINS OF THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE” is another of Prof. Edward A. 
Ross’s important papers on Immigration 
upon which current legislation is said to be 
based. 
“THE GARDEN TEMPLE OF AM¬ 
RITSAR,” by E. F. Benson, has nothing 
in common with the conventional “travel 
article.” 
Here is an opportunity to catch “the
