^✓Polish 
is much more than a furniture 
polish for it cleans as it polishes 
and acts as a varnish renewer 
and rejuvenator. It is the Var¬ 
nish Food. O-Cedar Polish gives 
a hard, dry, glass-like lustre that 
does not get gummy or sticky or 
collect dust. 
It is the polish to use for all 
cleaning and polishing purposes 
and renewing polish mops. 
Most economical to use, for you 
use half O-Cedar and half water. 
25c to $3.00 Sizes 
at all drug, hardware, grocery 
and department stores. 
Try a bottle and remember if 
O-Cedar is not the most satis¬ 
factory polish you ever used 
your money 
back without a 
question.

Quality Crops for the Home 
(Continued from page 385) 
to mature, there is no reason for going 
without them. 
Here is a combination to supply you 
through the season with first-quality 
beans. About May 10, make a small 
planting of Stringless Greenpod, and if 
the ground is dry and the weather warm, 
risk a row of Brittle Wax at the same 
time. About two weeks later plant Brit¬ 
tle Wax and Golden Scimitar or White 
Wax, or New Kidney Wax, and Burpee- 
Improved dwarf limas. About the same 
time put in a few hills of Burger’s Green- 
pod and a larger number of Golden Clus¬ 
ter or Sunshine Wax. Also plant—or 
better set out in pots or sods—a few hills 
of Early Leviathan and a larger number 
of Giant Podded pole limas. About the 
middle of July or first of August sow 
another small supply of an early sort, 
preferably Keeney’s Refugee, to supply 
snap beans from late fall until frost, 
when the pole varieties may be getting a 
little old and tough. Pick the pods, or 
pull the vines with the pods on, of all 
surplus sorts that are good for dry beans, 
just as soon as the pods become thor¬ 
oughly dry. If left they are likely to 
spoil if wet weather comes on. Keep 
them in a dry, airy place until ready to 
shell. 
While beans do not, of course, require 
so fine a seed-bed as many of the other 
vegetables, yet the soil should be thor¬ 
oughly prepared, both because most of 
their growth is made during a period of 
hot, dry weather, when all the moisture 
which can be saved by a good dust mulch 
will be required, and because, to supply 
the demands of their very rapid growth, 
their plant-food should be made as avail¬ 
able as possible. Give a moderate dress¬ 
ing of a good garden fertilizer, or of old 
manure. A large supply of nitrogen is 
not as necessary as with most of the 
other garden vegetables, but there should 
be some immediately available to give the 
plants a quick, strong start, and, unless 
it is in the soil, a single application of 
nitrate of soda about the time of the 
first hoeing will be useful. 
A mistake very commonly made in 
handling beans and other tender crops 
which are not planted until several weeks 
after the early garden, and yet too soon 
to allow taking another crop off the 
ground first, is the neglect of the soil be¬ 
fore planting. If it is left for several 
weeks looselv and roughly thrown up as 
the plow or spading fork leaves it and 
dry or windy weather intervenes, by 
planting time serious injury will have 
been done. It is much safer to prepare 
the ground at once as smoothly as if it 
were to be planted, and thus not only 
save the moisture by forming a ' dust 
mulch at once, but give the first crop of 
weeds an opportunity to sprout, getting 
rid of them easily when going over the

Clocks, like friends, must be chosen 
with care — for clocks are lifelong 
associates. 
The enduring charm and service of 
the Seth Thomas Empire Clock 
commend its admission into your 
home. Its chaste, dignified lines be¬ 
speak integrity and precision. The 
frame is gold-finished, with mech¬ 
anism encased in beveled glass. It 
sounds the hours and half hours on 
a deep-toned Cathedral bell. The 
Empire is but one style of the famous 
Seth Thomas 
Clocks 
It possesses the same high degree of 
worth which has bestowed upon 
them the title, “for a century the 
national timekeepers.” 
Reputable jewelers show a broad va¬ 
riety of Seth \ homas clocks. You can 
he sure of a satisfactory selection at a 
convenient price whatever your fancy.
