Pruning Shears 



Will Snip a Broom Handle 



That gives you an idea r>f the strength and quality of the 

 pruner. Wiss Pruning Shears will outlast a dozen ordinal y 

 ones. They will cut tissue paper. That shows how nicely 

 they are adjusted. 



Nurserymen and growers of fine trees use them in preference 

 to all other shears— they will cut clean the thickest twigs or the 

 most delicate tendrils without tearing. 



Wiss dealers will replace free of charge any shears returned 

 defective or unsatisfactory. 



All parts are interchangeable. If any part (say the blade) 

 becomes worn, it can be replaced, thus making the shears as 

 good as new at a slight cost. 



Made in two sizes — 9 inch, $2,25; 10 inch, $2.50 



Extra blades, SO cents each. For sale by all dealers.

Lou Dillon 



TANDEM GARDEN 

 CULTIVATOR 



Suits the practical gardener because it cultivates either between or astride the rows, and he goes 



along at an easy, continuous walk. One simple movement without the use of wrench or tool 



of any kind makes it possible to always furrow the soil at just the desired depth. You must 



not put this cultivator on a par with the common hit and miss garden cultivator. It works 



so easily and accurately that it is the greatest help to amateur gardeners, women, truck 



farmers, and, in fact, anyone who wants to save time and do good accurate work. 



The Lou Dillon cultivator works as easily as a lawn mower. It is in fact, the only 



garden cultivator that is practical for a woman or child, as it is the only one 



made that they can push. We will take the cultivator back and give back 



your money if it don't do your work better and in less time than any 



garden cultivator you ever used. Write for free descriptive catalogue 



and prices.

SPRAYING INDOOR PLANTS 



For spraying plants indoors and out, the LENOX 

 IMPROVED SPRAYER is the most serviceable for 

 the house and garden. House plants generally suffer 

 from lack of moisture, such as rain or the morning 

 dew give them. This produces a misty shower that 

 supplies the plant most naturally and completely, as 

 absolutely necessary to real success with house plants. 



Spraying for insects and dust, it reaches every part of the plant over and under the leaves, where insects breed. 

 Spraying with tobacco water will surely kill these enemies. Had we the space, we could tell you many 

 things about your plants, how essential it is to spray them while in the house, on the under side of the leaves.
