Protect Your 

 Young Fruit Trees 



from dtunage by mice in 

 early spring by using 



PEDLAR'S 



"PERFECT" 



TREE PROTECTORS 



Mice will "girdle" any fruit tree up to six 

 inches in diameter, in the early spring. When 

 the snow at the base of the trees melts the 

 hungry rodents gnaw the tender bark close to 

 the ground. Thousands of valuable young 

 trees are injure<I in this way every year, in- 

 volving an enormous loss to orchardists. 

 But you can easily circumvent the mice by 

 using Pedlar's "Perfect" Tree Protectors. 

 They are made from strips of galvanized metal 

 lath, with a mesh only three-eighths of an inch 

 — too smal* for the smallest mouse to squeeze 

 throush.

A NUMBER of farmers and market gar- 

 deners in Ontario kavc had dilTiculty in 

 disposing of some of their crops in the 

 United States on account of the quarantine 

 which was placed on the province of Ontario by

 July, 1921. The quarantine places an embargo 

 on. celery, green beans in the pod, beets with 

 tops, rhubarb, spinach, oat and rye straw, 

 chrysanthemums, asters, cosmos, zinnias, holly- 

 hocKs, gladioli and dahlias on account of the 

 European corn borer. The above mentioned 

 plants may be imported into the United States 

 only if accompanied by a certificate of inspection. 

 To facilitate matters, the Dominion Minister 

 of Agriculture will station officers of his depart- 

 ment at Windsor, Sarnia, Niagara Falls and 

 Port Stanley, in Ontario, and intending ex- 

 porters of the above-mentioned products, who 

 require shipments inspected and certified, should

 Port Stanley, Ont., which is the headquarters 

 for this work and thus secure prompt inspection 

 service.
