A title for the rose- 
lover to conjure with 
just as 
“Peterson Roses’ 
are roses to suc¬ 
ceed with. 
This booklet is the mes¬ 
sage of an enthusiast who 
for ten years before lie 
started this business was an 
amateur rosarian. It tells 
you in detail just what 
you need to know in 
order to achieve the 
fullest success—how 
you may have daily, 
even in the north, an abun¬ 
dance of roses from June to 
October. 
It represents a 
which 
for quality 
stands alone, 
unequalled,unap¬ 
proached—one that has 
“made good.” 
Its beauty will 
delight, its honesty 
amaze, and its frank¬ 
ness win you.

There’s bnt little work 
in a Big Garden 
if proper tools are used. Whether a man does his own garden 
work or hires it done, he naturally wants something to show for 
his labor or money. Gardening with old-fashioned tools is un¬ 
satisfactory and unprofitable; with Iron Age tools it is a decided 
pleasure. Work that formerly required a day is accomplished in 
an hour, and it’s done easier and better. Even a small boy can 
operate these tools They save time and labor , insure better 
cultivation and bigger crops.

IRON AGE 
(Continued from page 196) 
Petunias and nasturitiums might also be 
mentioned in this connection, but they are 
unreliable in regions when severe cold is 
felt. 
It is evident that the seed of these 
hardy annuals can be sown as readily in 
fall as in spring. Indeed where conditions 
permit I deem it advisable to sow them 
in fall. The ground must necessarily be 
well prepared, for if their self-sowing 
qualities are to be taken advantage of, it 
Annual Phlox, the second year after sowing 
is clear that the earth can not be spaded 
up again for several years. All the soil 
needs subsequently is a light raking or 
weeding over in spring. You will find it 
necessary to thin out the plants the second 
year after sowing. To say that for a few 
cents one may have years of bloom sounds 
a little like some of the exaggerated word¬ 
ing occasionally found in seed catalogues, 
nevertheless from personal experience I 
can say definitely that in the case of the 
annuals mentioned above, ten cents’ worth 
of seed of each kind will provide an ever- 
increasing amount of bloom and this, 
moreover, with comparatively little work 
after the first thorough preparation.

Growing Plants for Perfumeries 
^CONSIDERABLE of the wealth of the 
^ East was built up by the production 
and distribution of perfumes. In France 
to-day a perfumery industry of great im¬ 
portance has been established whereby the 
production of lavender, cassia, rose, violet 
and other essences is carried on. England, 
Germany, Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria, Algeria 
and other countries are important pro¬ 
ducers but the United States at present 
uses the oils of few plants for commercial 
purposes. There are, however, a great 
number capable of yielding oils of value. 
Those cultivated at present are principally 
the mints, wormwood, tansy and worm- 
seed. Wild plants include sassafras, win- 
tergreen, sweet birch, Canada fleabane, 
blue gum, wild bergamot, horse mint and 
fleabane. Bulletin Number 195 of the 
Government Bureau of plant industry con¬ 
tains information of plants which can be 
used for perfumeries and commercial oils, 
also the processes and apparatus necessary 
to carry on such work.

Exterior staining is no longer confined to 
shingles. Stains are being used more and moie 
upon rough and smooth siding, trimmings and 
other outside wood work. The colors are 
beautiful, soft, and transparent. They are 
cheap and easy to apply; and they are made of 
Creosote, which preserves the wood.
