Necessary as a Lawn Mower 



You wouldn't think of cutting even a small plot of grass with- 

 out a lawn mower. Why then waste time, labor and money 

 trimming and edging lawns and gardens on your hands and 

 knees with clippers or sickle when 



The Capitol Lawn Trimmer and Edger 



will do the work quickly, smoothly and easily? An absolute ne- 

 cessity for lawns, gardens, parks, golf courses and cemeteries. 

 Ask your hardware dealer, or write for Catalog " C."

Cant Smell it! Cant See it! 



Garbage in 



Witt's Can 



is odorless, out of sight, will not attract flies, 

 and dogs can't get at it. 



Close-fitting lid ; water-tight, never-leak bot- 

 tom ; made triple-strong by riveting, flanging 

 and extra heavy steel bands riveted around top 

 and bottom. A necessity where neatness and 

 perfect sanitary conditions are valued. 



Imitations of " Witt's Can " lack the splendid strength 

 and durability of the genuine. Be sure the name 

 " Witt's " is on can and lid. 



Sizes— Witt's Can, No. 1, 15fx25 inches; No. 2, 

 18 x 25 ; No. 3, 20£ x 25. Witt's Pail, No. 7, 5 gallons ; 

 No. 8, 7 gallons. 



All steel, corrugated, galvanized, water-tight, odor- 

 proof (close-fitting lid). Look for the yellow label. 



As% at the Stores for WITT'S CAN and see 

 that "Witt's Can " is stamped on lid and bottom. 



If not on sale in your town order direct from us. Use 

 it and if you don't like it we'll pay for its return and 

 promptly refund your money. 



The Witt Cornice Co. 



DEPARTMENT A. CINCINNATI. O. 



troublesome to prepare, but it can be bought, 

 almost ready for use, in very convenient pow- 

 der, or paste forms. The paste form is 

 perhaps the better of the two, but the ex- 

 periment stations say it is not so effective 

 as the freshly made article; all the same it 

 has a reasonably satisfactory effect and that 

 is all the amateur wants. To make up for 

 its lessened value, use a little more of it. 

 One pound of the paste will make fifty gal- 

 lons of spraying mixture, and should not 

 cost more than a dollar. Use it wherever 

 a fungus disease is expected, also for the 

 striped beetle on melons by adding a little 

 arsenate of lead to it, and on potatoes for 

 the flea beetle. Somehow or other, the flea 

 beetle jumps away from Bordeaux mixture. 



Ammoniated copper carbonate is a pre- 

 paration very similar to Bordeaux mixture 

 but more expensive, yet it is valuable because 

 it makes a perfect solution; it should be 

 used on all fruits when they are half developed 

 for the same purposes as Bordeaux mixture 

 is recommended. 



In June, the apple borer gets active and 

 must be dug out with a wire ; or inject some 

 carbon bisulphide. 



If you only have a few small bushes to 

 spray, the poison can be applied adequately 

 by means of an ordinary whisk broom. As 

 a general rule, the small hand sprayers are 

 not very serviceable, but I have seen one that 

 is made entirely of brass (and brass or cop- 

 per is an essential except that for ammonia 

 iron is used) which holds a quart and 

 sells for two dollars. The special features 

 of this machine are that it makes a con- 

 tinuous spray by means of a compressed air 

 chamber and it has two nozzles, one making 

 a direct jet, and by means of the other a jet 

 can be directed either up or down, or in any 

 direction desired. Of course, when used 

 with heavy mixtures such as Bordeaux mix- 

 ture or Paris green, the machine would have 

 to be shaken constantly to insure the suspen- 

 sion and free passage of the poison. 



For larger gardens, it would be much more 

 economical to buy some machine of greater 

 capacity and these are now to be had in vari- 

 ous forms. Some are of the character of 

 force pumps which can be attached to the 

 sides of pails or tubs, but by far the best 

 thing is one of the many forms of high-pressure 

 spray pumps from which a continuous jet 

 is produced. These vary in size from easily 

 portable forms, holding only a few gallons, 

 up to machines that require two horses to 

 haul them, and the prices range accordingly 

 from about five dollars up to hundreds. 



The amateur who really means to get the 

 best results should not hesitate about spend- 

 ing a few dollars on getting a good spray 

 pump, and one that has extension rods, by 

 which the spray can be easily carried to the 

 tops of high trees will be well worth the extra 

 dollars. 



More explicit instructions on the use of 

 poisons will be found in Professor Sanderson's 

 excellent spraying calendar in the April 

 Garden Magazine, which tells you not only 

 what to do, but also how to recognize the in- 

 sect or disease, and the time of its appearance.
