TOWNSEND'S TRIPLEX 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on Earth 
Cuts a Swath 86 Inches Wide 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the.waves. 
One mower may be climbing a knoll, the second skimming 
a level and the third paring a hollow. 
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, 
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 ordinary horse- 
drawn mowers with three 
horses and three men. (We 
guarantee this.) 
Does not smash the grass to 
earth and plaster it in the mud 
in springtime, nor crush out 
its life between hot rollers and 
hard, hot ground in summer, 
as does the motor mower.

Don’t worry about the proper pronun¬ 
ciation—call them “Glads,” and there 
will be no question in your mind as to 
their being rightly named. 
Plant them in May; hoe them a little during the 
summer. When they bloom, the wide range of color 
and form will delight the most fastidious taste. 
Some, the children properly call “Butterfly. Some 
have the delicacy and indescribable coloring of the 
opal or the Iris. Some are gorgeously brilliant; 
most are gay. and some that are demure and modest 
are still beautiful. 
Our modest catalog carefully describes by color 
chart methods 150 of the choicest varieties found 
either in America or Europe including many rare 
and unusual varieties that are obtainable from 
us only.

Thank you, I did. And, to the human mind, 
there is no greater relaxation than to go out 
into the open air and God’s good sunshine and 
to learn to know the flowers of the garden 
and the fields. 
We grow Roses. It is life to us because we know 
it and love it; it is business to us because by it we live. 
We are thankful that our new catalogue will bring 
joy to thousands and just plain relaxation to others. 
It is going to tell you, by word and picture, of the 
new wonders of the Rose world. It is going to tell you 
the Roses which we call “Good Roses’. It is going to 
tell you of a concern whose mission it is to keep alive 
in the hearts of men and women the love of the beau¬ 
tiful. Will YOU relax from care? That book of 
flowers will come by mail for a post card.
