Notice! 



Because of accompanying tables it was 

 impossible to find space for the article on 

 use of miscible oil sprays this month. It 

 was thus crowded out after the index had 

 been printed and will appear next month. 



ALBATROSS BRANDS 



Prevent 



the "blotch" or "burn" of the 

 spray on fruit 



Observe this study in contrasts. The apple at the 

 left was sprayed with Arsenate of Lead— a wonder- 

 fully good spray. But the user neglected to mix 

 "Spray Spread" with it. Below is a similar apple — 

 sprayed with thesame kind of spray— but Albatross 

 Spray Spread was mixed with the spray. Note the 

 difierence— the "lead" dried on the FIRST apple in 

 I spots or blotches. The 

 second apple received 

 an equal amount of 

 protective spray — but 

 it spread over the 

 apple in a thin film. 

 Appearance and mar- 

 keting appeal of the 

 apple is thus retained. 

 The pictures tell why 

 Government experts 

 are so enthused over 

 ■'Spray Spread" — 

 why experienced hor- 

 ticulturists say it has 

 NO equal for spread- 

 ing an "arsenate of 

 lead" spray. 



Note the "blotch "or' burti' ' 

 the lead on this apple

Floors 



Refinish Yours Yourself 



with paint or varnish— We tell how 



IT'S a simple matter, if you 

 cannot get a painter to re- 

 finish your farm house floors 

 yourself. 



Fuller's Floor Paints are the 

 finest finishes and last the long- 

 est. They dry over night so 

 you can walk on them in the 

 morning. 



They are made for the ama- 

 teur's use as well as the 

 painter's — they flow evenly, 

 spread well, and do not streak. 

 The result is a smooth and lus- 

 trous finish. 



Women can apply these floor 

 paints as well as men. 



Fuller makes a special paint 

 for every purpose and our Rub- 

 ber Cement Floor Paint is espe- 

 cially adaptable for farm house 

 floors. 



Two popular varnishes — 

 "Fullerwear," the Spar Varnish 

 for every purpose, will not mar 



scratch white or turn white 

 when hot dishes and hot water 

 come in contact with it. Use 

 "Fullerwear" for any varnish- 

 able surface. 



"Fifteen-for-Floors" Varnish, 

 a high gloss varnish, extremely 

 transparent, which will give 

 your floors that desired, well- 

 kept appearance. 



We also make 

 a special line of 

 paints, var- 

 nishes, enamels, 

 etc., for all 

 kinds of interior 

 decorating. We 

 specialize 

 in these ma- 

 terials and 

 methods after 

 72 years' experience with paints 

 and painting practice. 



We are one of the largest 

 paint manufacturers in the 

 United States.
