Vermont Outdoor ThermometerSolid brass and glass construction, 7½" high x 2½" depth x 1½" wide. Left: model T-1 $29.95 |
||
The Vermont Estate Thermometer is the largest window thermometer on the market, bar none. This thermometer stretches over 38" from tip to tip with gigantic 1-1/8" numbers and with its spirit gauge accuracy, there'll be no guessing about the temperature. The solid brass components have been antiqued to a warm patina. An optical
quality acrylic tube assures clarity and rigidity, while keeping the weight down to
facilitate mounting. Non- mercury thermometers, such our column thermometers, use
pigmented mineral spirits and have proven to be just as accurate as mercury thermometers
(+/- 1°F in the middle of the range). Even these huge thermometers use only a few drops.

The Original Davis Hill Weather
Stick® From product tag: "Weather Sticks, from the folks on Davis Hill, will tell you what the weather is doing. With good weather about they point to the sky; and when things aren't so pleasant they will point to the ground. Folks on Davis Hill don't know why, but Old Timers had faith in them. Mount it outdoors with the nail up. Under an eave, on a window frame, or out on a garage wall. Anywhere where you can see it from inside. These country Weather Sticks are harvested at the right time of year and carefully prepared and dried. When first put up they will take a short while to get used to your house so be patient with them and they will serve you well for a long time. Some as long as 15-years so you won't need another for quite a while." 12-16" long. $5.95 |

Lane
Dukart Bells From within a solar-powered studio in the Colorado Rockies, Lane Dukart draws his inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds him. Utilizing "slip" clay, each piece is individually cast and hand-carved with original designs, reflecting the environment and culture of the Southwest. Lane applies only natural oxides to accentuate the clay's inherent earthy tones and textures. The durable stoneware clay is then fired to over 2000-degrees F, making it impervious to the elements of nature and able to withstand rain, snow, and wind. Each finished composition, signed by the artist, is a one-of-a-kind creation, faithfully reflecting the rustic harmony of the artist's surroundings. 5 configurations: SMB1, $16.00, 10 long, one bell SMB3, $42.00, 14 long, three bells MDB1, $26.00, 17 long, one bell MDB2, $36.00, 19 long, two bells (shown left) JUMBO, $88.00, 42 long, multiple bells (Jumbo size sold out, sorry) |

Why Beneficial Insects?Beneficial insects are your best defense in natural, non-chemical biological control of destructive insects. With ever rising restrictions on toxic insecticides, biological control is becoming more and more popular as gardeners look for alternatives to healthy gardens and yards. We offer healthy summer stock ladybeetles, the best known of all beneficial insects for control of aphids and spider mites. They feed on different soft-bodies insects with aphids being their main food source. Summer stock ladybeetles tend to stay around, lay eggs, and their larvae emerge hungry and ready to consume another 5,000 or so aphids. Ours are shipped in cotton sacks to ensure safe and healthy arrival. $11.95 per ½-pint covers up to 2,500 square feet. Available May & June. |
