OUR 1909 EDITION is the most practical text book on Straw- 

 berry growing: ever written. It's worth its weight in gold 

 because it teaches the Kellogg method of growing the world's 

 record crops of big red berries. Every detail of the work is illustrated 

 by photo-engravings. You read it by pictures. They show you just 

 how to do everything from beginning to end. Strawberry growers 

 who follow the Kellogg way are getting more fancy berries from one 

 acre than the other fellow gets from two. The book makes you 

 acquainted with some of these top-notch growers; shows pictures 

 of their strawberry fields and gives their yields. This book for 

 your address. We'll trade even.

PAINT TALKS 



No. 1— Paint for Exterior Work 



"I am going to tell a number of specific 

 and money-saving facts in this magazine 

 from month to month. Space is limited 

 and bare facts only can be stated. Those 

 who want reasons, explanations, fuller information, etc., need only write 

 National Lead Company. 



Exterior paint is exposed to the weather, hot — cold— rainy — freezing. 

 No risk should be run with faulty materials or faulty methods. The priming 

 coat should not be ochre. It is cheap but fatal. The best primer — our pure 

 White Lead mixed with linseed oil, some turpentine (enough to drive the 

 paint into the pores of the wood) and a bit of Japan drier. The body and fin- 

 ishing coats need exactly the same materials but they should be mixed thicker. 

 Points to Avoid — (a) adulteration in pigment (a guar- 

 anty of absolute purity goes with our White Lead) — 

 (b) adulteration in oil — (c) too much turpentine — (d) inferior 

 drier — (e) also stale paint should not be used. Have your 

 painter mix the ingredients fresh for each job.

SUBURBAN 



GARDENERS 



Find in the Iron Age Book devices of which they never dreamed for 

 the easy* economical, exact cultivation of the pleasure-profit garden. 

 Think of one pair of easy-going handles performing every opera- 

 tion from the opening of the soil to the gathering of Nature's 

 reward and you have a slight idea of Iron Age methods. 



Whether you plant a hill, a row or an acre, whether you do it 



yourself or employ others, you must know about these Tron 



Age labor saving, yield-increasing implements if you want 



to get the full return for your labor or investment. The 



Iron Age Book will be forwarded upon request to readers of 



Garden Magazine-Farming. Read it and be a better gardener.
