| Gnomes Are Right At Home Inside JJ Cardinal's Must be the atmosphere...Gnomes, afterall, do have a way of accurately assessing things. And these Gnomes have gone green - utilizing solar power! Yep, these attractive traditional Gnome garden statues are sun-powered! Small solar panels are discretely tucked into the base which absorbs the suns energy during the day and then emits a soothing warm glow, which may last up to six hours at night. The
Checker Brothers have not missed a rousing daily game of woodland checkers in
over 501 years ... but nobodys counting. Gnomes are non-competitive, and dont
keep score! Playing board surface lights up at dusk (solar powered).

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.

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. $ |
