THE MEDOC AND GUIENNE 

 SECATEURS. 



With " serpette " and blades guaranteed made from 

 the finest Sheffield Shear Steel, are the most efficient 

 of pruning tools. 



They supersede all other secateurs 



Careless pruning and neglect to make the cuts 

 clean, close and flush with the growing branches is 

 the cause of unhealthy roses. The Medoc Secateurs 

 eliminate all dead wood by hastening the process of 

 callusing, because the "serpette," following the use of 

 the secateur, cuts close and clean, whereas all secateurs 

 bruise to some extent delaying callusing and inviting 

 dead or dying wood. 



For the rosarian who does his own pruning, whether 

 standards, bush, climbing or rambler roses, the Medoc 

 is The Tool and when proficiency has been gained, a 

 sheer delight to use. 



Blades renewable, handles faced polished horn, 

 perfectly made and sold at a cost 100 per cent, below 

 intrinsic worth. Spec2al sized Serpettes for Roses.

RITO for ROSES. 



RIT( 



ITO is particularly adapted for Rose Growing. It takes 

 le place of farmyard manure and is much easier to get 

 round the roots of the trees. It provides the humus that 

 farmyard manure usually supplies and is a big feeder of the 

 '"' """ ' useful soil bacteria. It breaks down the potash and phos- 

 phates in the soil, making them available for the roots. It can be used by 

 itself or in addition to phosphates. Rito supplies gradually the necessary 

 nitrogen. 



RITO is equally suitable for all kinds of garden, greenhouse and 

 allotment produce. It is manufactured under Royal Letters Patent by —
