Witt's 



The fire-proof ash-can 

 that won't wear out 



A can that meets the biff-bang of the ashman 

 without turning a rivet or showing a dent. 



WITT'S ! 



Other ash-cans are soldered; they dent, split 

 open at the seams, — show the hard life they lead 

 a little more every week. 



WITT'S won't. 



It's got a corrugated one-piece steel body. 

 It's so flanged, riveted, steel banded, that it 

 can't split. 



One man writes us he's used his Witt's Can 

 constantly for eight years and it's good as new. 



And the neat way it takes care of ashes — with- 

 out any dust or danger of FIRE — is wonderful. 



Witt's Can is made in Ohio, You can get it anywhere 

 in the United States. Known by the yellow label Witt's. 



If YOUR dealer hasn't Witt's don't waste time over 

 imitations. Send to us for Witt's. If you don't like it 

 we'll pay return charges and refund your money.

Potash 



puts vigor and strength into wheat straw, and firmness into the grain — saves the 

 crop, and doubles it. 



We have pamphlets and circulars and reports that show how to use Potash, 

 and what it does for soils and crops. Send a postal card and we shall promptly 

 supply you with this money-making literature, free.

Bulb Culture for School Children 



LAST spring throughout the city of Wash- 

 ington there were magnificent displays 

 of tulips, hyacinths and narcissus around 

 many of the school buildings, and in a large 

 number of schools Roman hyacinths and 

 Paper White narcissus brightened the rooms 

 from January to Easter. 



The bulbs were bought from a local bulb 

 merchant with whom the Normal School has 

 had an agreement for the last two years by 

 which the teachers have been able to pur- 

 chase bulbs at the following prices: crocuses, 

 twenty cents per ioo; tulips, mixed, seventy- 

 five cents per ioo; one color, $1.25 per 100; 

 hyacinths, mixed, $2 per 100; one color, 

 $2.50 per 100; daffodils, $1 per 100. 



To enable the teachers to collect the money 

 for the bulbs, the Board of Education made 

 an exception in its rules regarding the col- 

 lection of money in schools. We are allowed 

 to collect money for the following: A volun- 

 tary donation of one cent, in October, for the 

 purchase of bulbs to decorate school grounds; 

 one cent in April for the purchase of penny 

 packages of seeds for home planting; and 

 donations of any amount for the playgrounds. 

 The benefit of this money is reaped by the 

 children themselves. 



The smaller children get lots of fun from the worK 

 of planting bulbs 



To prevent unusual and grotesque dis- 

 plays of' individual taste, the teachers are 

 urged to confine themselves to border plant- 

 ing and masses of color. Instructions telling 

 how to plant and care for the bulbs are issued 

 to the teachers from the Normal School, 

 which has taken the lead in this work. 



When the bulbs are to be grown outdoors, 

 the space to be planted is well spaded and
