WISDOM IN LENT 



The really wise man shows his wisdom by looking ahead and getting 

 prepared for the future. 



You Can Make 



no better use of these quiet days in Lent than by laying in a stock of 

 necessary and salable goods for the rush that is sure to follow. 



Bear In Mind 



that Bayersdorfer & Co. can supply you with everything requisite for 

 a successful and profitable Easter and Spring trade except fresh plants, 

 flowers and business sand. These you must find elsewhere. The first 

 evidence that you have the sand and the wisdom will be to send for 

 our magnificently illustrated Wholesale Catalogue. 



We have the best line of novelties ever offered in America.

WHAT 



APHINE 



Will Do at Public Tests 

 It Will Do for YOU 



At these demonstralions we proved con- 

 clusively that within a very short time it 

 will destroy Black, Green and White 

 Fly, Mealy Bug and Scale. 



It is equally effective against Red Spider 

 and Thrips. 



Its comparative cost with other insecti- 

 cides makes APHINE one of the most 

 economical remedies now on the market 

 for greenhouse and outdoor work.
