ADVERTISEMENTS. 



Ill 



THE GOEKZ DAGOR. 



This is a "prize" and a joy forever. 

 It is beautiful and efficient. Send for 

 catalogue. Get a better lens on your 

 camera. Then go forth and capture 

 the scenic beaut}' of spring and send 

 a specimen of the photographs to The 

 Guide to Nature. 



We desire more and better photo- 

 graphs. 



And really. I think, some of you not 

 only desire but zvant them too. 



GROW ROSES. 



Is there any more beautiful flower 

 than a rose? Why do we easterners 

 not appreciate roses as do the people 

 of California? They can be grown 

 nearly as well here as in California, 

 and almost any town could have a 

 rose parade in June or early July as 

 does Pasadena on January ist. 



The way to get roses in such profu- 

 sion is to buy them of The Conard & 

 Jones Company, West Grove, Penn- 

 sylvania, and do the actual work as 

 instructed in their book, "How to 

 Grow Roses." Invest a small amount 

 of money and a liberal supply of 

 "heart" and success will surely be 

 yours. 



JUST THE THING TO SAVE THE PLANTS. 



Any one desiring to procure an excel- 

 lent hand plant sprayer to spray the 

 leaves upon indoor plants, to keep the 

 insects oft and otherwise keep them 



healthful, should send $1.00 to The G. N. 

 Lenox Sprayer Company, 165 West 

 Twenty-third Street, New York City, 

 and receive one by return mail. This 

 sprayer will spray under and over the 

 leaves. Three cakes of tobacco soap to 

 make a spray solution will be included. 



THE NEW SCHWAN LIGHT. 



This is literally a new light and not 

 merely another device for holding the 

 well known older forms of light. The 

 method oi illumination is on a new 

 principle and is a success. The light 

 is clear and steady and therefore ex- 

 cellently adapted to the projection lan- 

 tern or to photography. Send to Chas. 

 Beseler Company, 251 Centre Street, 

 Xew York City, for full particulars. 



MA N 1 IMPROY E MEN TS. 



The Arcadia equipments not only 

 induce the reduction in price of the 

 subscription to The Guide to Nature 

 but will enable us to produce a far 

 better magazine. 



The work of the past year has been 

 done under almost incredible disad- 

 vantages. Arcadia includes the facili- 

 ties of editing, correspondence, illus- 

 trating, experimenting, etc. as ex- 

 plained in the January number. 



Volume Tl will be improved in many 

 respects, including a new cover of neat 

 and unique design which will be held, 

 with only seasonal changes, through- 

 out the year. Several new features 

 are to be added and a general in- 

 creased interest in all the old ones. 

 Among the additions will be an Aqua- 

 rium Department under the auspices 

 of the Aquarium Society of Philadel- 

 phia, under competent and authorita 

 tive editorial supervision of that so- 

 ciety. No phases of nature are more 

 interesting than those seen in well 

 managed aquaria. The Guide to Na- 

 ture in Volume II will tell how best 

 to get at these interests. An illus- 

 trated article, "The Household Aqua- 

 rium," in the April number is alone 

 well worth the price of a year's sub- 

 scription.
