 llie responsibilities the positions call for — gardeners

 ship orvners of some of the foremost countr'^ estates

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 flowers, 

 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 wash 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.
