Lures Insects to Their Doom 
Some say the liquid within these pitchers is 
intoxicating. Some say it is anaesthetic. At 
‘any rate it accomplishes the full purpose in 
luring venturesome insects, drenching them 
with its fascinating sweetness and leaving 
them helpless for the Pitcher Plant to devour. 
This isthe gamest fish that Dr. David Starr 
Jordan ever caught. In his Fish Book, he 
tells countless experiences of angling lore. No 
real sportsman can afford to be without this 
marvelously accurate, yet strictly scientific, 
set of books. They make each jaunt in the fields, 
each yacation mean more than ever before. 
DON’T DELAY 
This new edition has been five months in prep- 
aration. It is so far superior to anything 
before offered that it will be sold out long before 
a new edition can be prepared. Owing to condi- 
tions in the ink and paper industries we cannot 
print a new edition in less than six months.
