is so comprehensive and so practical as this volume. 1

 cultural ICncyclopedias, for in these pages the author ■ | 



stands as the interpreter of the plant to tlie planter. 1 



The character of information may l)e summed up in i

secure the proper selection, care and treatiuent of S 



such trees and plants as are best adapted for his pur- I

SPRAYING 



IS as 



Essential as Fertilizing 



Successful cultivation demands a 

 knowledge of the habits of plant insects 

 and diseases, and the proper remedies for 

 their control. 



APHINE, an effective remedy against 

 all sap sucking insects infesting flov^ers, 

 fruits and vegetables, is free of the dis- 

 agreeable odors and features of most in- 

 secticides. It invigorates plant life and is 

 unexcelled as a w^ash for decorative plants. 

 Aphine will not injure the most tender 

 flower or foliage. 



FUNGINE is an excellent remedy for 

 mildew^, rust, and other blights. It is read- 

 ily soluble in water and contains no sedi- 

 ment. Fungine does not stain the foliage 

 but cleanses it. 



VERMINE is a soil sterilizer and vermi- 

 cide. It destroys cut, wire, eel and grub 

 worms, maggots, root lice and ants, and 

 will protect your gardens and lawns from 

 ravages under the soil. 



TTiere is but one convincing way for 

 you to become familiar with the merits 

 of these products and that is to try them 

 out for yourself. It will prove worth 

 while.
