Make Things 

 Grow by Pruning 



Here is a book, "The Little Pruning Book" 

 that will help you. It is an authoritative guide 

 to right pruning. This book will tell you how, 

 when and where to prune. Pruning in the 

 Flower Garden; Pruning Hedges and Vines, 

 Fruit Trees, are among its eleven chapters of 

 sound pruning advice. 



The kind of shears you get is equally import- 

 ant. Pexto Pruning Shears will make pruning a 

 pleasure. The easy grip and clear cutting are 

 the things you'll appreciate most. You'll find 

 Pexto Pruning Shears at your dealers. Look for 

 the Pexto Tool displays. 



Send to-day for a copy of our free circular, or 

 send 50 cents for the book. Your money will be 

 refunded if not satisfactory.

PRUNING SHEARS 



Free! 



A 50-gallon barrel of 

 Scalecide free to any 

 one who will suggest a 

 fairer guarantee than 

 that given below. 



"SCALECIDE" 



As proof of our confidence and to strengthen yours, 

 we will make the following proposition to any fruit 

 grower of average honesty and veracity: 

 Divide jour orchard in half, no matter how large or 

 small. Spray one-half with "SCALECIDE," and 

 the other with Lime-Sulfur for three years, every- 

 thing else being equal. If at the end of that time, 

 three disinterested fruit growers say that the part 

 sprayed with "SCALECIDE" is not in every way 

 better than that sprayed with Lime-Sulfur, we will 

 return you the money you paid us for the "SCALE- 

 CIDE." 



Send for new free booklet, 



"Profits in Fall Spraying."

Some Good News 



To Those Interested in Having 



A Moderate Sized Greenhouse 



AS near as we can make out, 

 there are a lot of people 

 who very much want a 

 greenhouse, but hesitate to make 

 a move to find out definitely 

 about them. Hesitate because 

 of having an impression that they 

 are a rich man's luxury. 



If you have a garage or some 

 other building you can attach one 

 to; $i,ooo, $1,500 or $2,000 buys 

 splendid little houses, constructed 

 with everything the very best. 



Houses of Everlasting Lasting- 

 ness. 



It's doubtful, however, if any- 

 thing much below these prices 

 wih give you anything that will 

 continue to be a satisfaction and 

 pleasure — year after year. 



Naturally, we would like to 

 build your greenhouse. 



Anytime you want to talk it 

 over, one of us will gladly meet 

 you at the time and place you 

 may suggest.
