EROSIONET also serves as an inexpensive safe- 
guard against birds on strawberries, blueberries and 
other ripening fruits. We have sold thousands of 
yards for this purpose. Since the material has more 
body, it is much easier to handle than cheesecloth 
and at the same time admits more sunlight to 
the fruit. 45 inches wide. 15c per lineal yard.

pect to have lawn rollers for the spring season,

Lawn Mowers 
For many years we have lamented the lack of progress in lawn 
mower engineering. We know of few implements which have pro- 
gressed less from their patent infancy. Our convictions relative to 
the shortcomings of pre-war lawn mowers prompted us to devote 
considerable space to the sub- 
ject in a special Golf Course 
issue of Blades of Grass in the 
spring of 1945. 
With great confidence we 
looked forward to new post- 
war models, the first of which 
reached us late last October. 
Aside from a mild attempt to 
improve appearance, it was in- 
ferior to many less expensive 
pre-war models. Up to the day 
this is written in January, we 
haven’t seen a single new mow- 
er which, in our opinion, is 
worthy of consumer acceptance. 
[5] 
But we have seen the prom- 
ise of them and we urge our 
customers not to be hasty in 
purchasing the first new mower 
they see. We find there are 
engineers who entertain some 
of the same thoughts we do 
about the shortcomings of pre- 
war mowers and there is a real 
promise in some of the new 
models which will soon appear. 
We will have them as quickly 
as they are available. We think 
they will be well worth waiting 
for.
