^OH OIL 



The countless friends of Fred Lauten- 

 schlager who sells Kroeschell Ijoilers 

 from the Atlantic to the Pacific will 

 all be interested in the news that on 

 April 30 he became the surprised and 

 happy father of a pair of twins — young 

 ladies both. We don't make a custom 

 of recording this particular class of 

 family events, but those of our readers 

 whose performances in this line have 

 not been chronicled will, we trust, par- 

 don the apparent discrimination in 

 this case which all will agree is ex- 

 ceptional for a beginner. We here 

 promise that all of the craft who may 

 successfully emulate Fred's notable ex- 

 ample, will be accorded full recogni- 

 tion and wide publicity in the columns 



of HoRTKXr.TUKE.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there Is a house that is Just 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the soot is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply Just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil In the benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 ofteaer than too much all at once. 



We offer the genuine In original cwt. 

 Sacks, at: 



$4.00 per 112 lbs.: $17.60 per 660 lbs.
