Garden Jools and Accossonies 
During many years of horticultural work there are certain tools which have become indispensable to us; tools that withstood the hard wear 
constantly given them; tools that were skillfully and specially made for the job they had to handle. Such tools are few in number; but when 
properly selected very few are needed. 
Since the war there has been the usual deluge of implements and gadgets on the garden market, but fine garden tools of expert craftsmanship 
are still in short supply and not all types are yet available. We are constantly searching for stocks of these better tools to offer our customers 
and list herewith those that have been procured. As more of our favorites are put into production you may rest assured we will stock them. 
Good tools are indispensable to good gardeners. Take care of them and they will become lifelong friends.

gardening without one.

MUL-TEX 
THE NEW BUCKWHEAT-HULL MULCH 
For Summer Mulching. A clean, inexpensive, easily applied mulch 
that will keep the soil of your garden beds cool and moist, and 
greatly discourage weeds. Used in the strawberry patch or vege- 
table garden it will keep fruits clean and fresh. Extremely durable 
and slow to decompose. Excellent for incorporation with the soil at 
the end of the growing season. Though very light it will not blow 
away. 
For Winter Mulching. Will not pack down like leaves or litter, 
but remains loose and light on top of the soil. In early spring it 
prevents the alternate freezing and thawing and subsequent heaving 
wplee tears the tender roots of bulbs and perennials and ruins the 
plants. 
For Storing Bulbs Over Winter. For bulbs, tubers and corms which 
must be stored dry over winter MUL-TEX is ideal. There is no danger 
of heating and the material is perfectly dry. It permits enough air to 
irguate for respiration, but at the same time prevents the bulbs from 
rying. 
100 pounds of MUL-TEX will cover an area of 130 square feet, 
1 inch deep. The material is packed in 50 |b. heavy paper bags, but 
inasmuch as shipping charges are almost the same on 200 Ibs. as on 100 
lbs. we offer a minimum of 200 Ibs. 
This year we are packing and shipping many of our bulbs in MUL- 
TEX. A sample of the material will be mailed upon request. 
200 Ibs. $5.00 500 lbs. $10.00 1000 Ibs. $19.00

For heavy pruning and general tree work we recommend the
