^cotcK^ Soot 



Where there ia a house that is just 

 full of huda almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can he 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the soot is very str.int; 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply .lust enough to blacken 

 the surface of tiie soil in the benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too much all at once.

DO YOU KNOW 



VERMINE? 



John Lewis Childs, Flowerfield, N. F., 



writes: — 



"I suppose you will be glad to know that 

 VER.MINE Is giviuK exielleut siitlsfactlcn. 

 Our greenhouse foreman says that it Is the 

 only thing that he has ever used that will 

 kill white ants in the bemhes." 



Valentine Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, 



N. Y., writes: — 



"We wish to say that we find VERMINK 

 an excellent thing. We used It on a bench 

 planted with Smilax to kill root lice or 

 maggots, which ate the ri>ots, and after 

 two applications our Smilax is taking on 

 new lite and has started off to grow." 



The Gardner Nursery Company, Osage, 



Iowa, writes: — 



"We will use VERMINE on our out-of- 

 door fields of strawberry plants if the In- 

 side test continues as satisfactory as It 

 now seems." 



W. N. Craig, Brookline, Mass, writes: — 

 "I have used VERMINE and found It ef- 

 fective against root maggots, cut worms, 

 earth worms, ants and other ground peats. 



VERMINE is applied one part to four 

 linndred parts of water hy thoroughly 

 soaking the soil. It will protect your crop» 

 from the ravages of vermin under ground 

 without the slightest injury to vegetation.
