 mometers.

In such a garden house are sometimes placed on the wall 

 a few cases containing the common forms of injurious garden 

 insects. Pressed specimens of some of the plant diseases may 

 be mounted under glass and hung on the wall. Here the 

 pupils can compare specimens from the garden and quickly 

 identify them. Here may be kept insect nets, collecting 

 bottles and insecticides. 



A small box of emergency supplies to use in cases of acci- 

 dent, bandage cloth, absorbent cotton, adhesive plaster, anti- 

 septics, soap, ammonia, and vaseline or ointment.
