Galileo thermometersItalian astronomer and physicist, Galileo Galilei's discovery that the density of liquid expands or contracts with temperature changes led to the creation of this famous thermometer - a fascinating method of searching for exact temperature measurements. The thermometer is made up of a glass cylinder filled with a special liquid. Inside the cylinder are liquid-filled, hand blown, glass spheres each with imprinted designated temperature reading medallions. As temperatures fall, spheres will rise, as temperatures rise, spheres will sink. The lowest floating sphere will indicate actual temperature. Two

The
Original Davis Hill Weather StickTM 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 |

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. $ |
