How to Know 

 Good Reliable Paint 



THIS valuable book exposes the fraud 

 of selling clay, chalk, silica, barytes, 

 benzine and water, as paint, at pure 

 White Lead prices. 



Explains why adulterated paint cracks, 

 scales and checks. Tells how to test paint 

 for purity, enabling you to detect adultera- 

 tion before the paint is applied — avoid 

 guess work — save the cost of burning and 

 scraping off old paint. 



Tells how to choose a harmonious color 

 scheme. With the book comes a set of 

 modern color plates showing how real houses 

 look when well painted — ideas for painting 

 your home. This book also tells why 



CARTER 



Strictly Pure 



White Lead 



never cracks, scales or checks — why it forms a dur- 

 able, elastic film which contracts and expands with 

 the weather changes — why Carter is whiter than 

 other leads — why it makes brighter, truer and more 

 durable colors. The book tells how Carter will save 

 you money and trouble.

Michigan. The following is a similar list 

 for western Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, 

 most of the plants being of sufficient 

 hardiness, I believe, for general planting 

 in these states, where, in the improvement 

 of home grounds, there is but little con- 

 ception of plants best suited to the con- 

 ditions. It seems to be the general 

 impression that there is but a small number 

 of trees, shrubs, and other decorative plants 

 that can be grown there, yet comparatively 

 many will succeed in that region. 



Where the rainfall is scanty, all planting 

 must be done in the spring, for a fall-planted 

 tree or shrub cannot sufficiently establish itself 

 to endure the dry winter before the ground 

 freezes. I do my spring planting fairly 

 early — from April ist until April 15th 

 — because later on the hot sun will often 

 dry and bake the plant so that it cannot 

 grow. Small-sized plants are preferable, 

 for these adapt themselves more readily 

 to conditions than larger plants and will 

 therefore give better and quicker results. 

 After planting and during the first season 

 I water the newly set plants very often, and 

 I consider it best to prune most kinds 

 severely.

Spraying Is Easy With 



the AUTO-SPRAY 



And it does the work best. Any one of the hun- 

 dreds of thousands who are using it will tell you so. 

 And practically all of the Government and State Ex- 

 periment Stations use and endorse it. 



We make the Auto-Spray in 40 styles and sizes, a 

 sprayer for every man's needs— but this Auto-Spray 

 No. 1, shown here, has a wider range of usefulness 

 than any other sprayer ever made. 



It has a capacity of 4 gallons, 10 strokes of the 

 plunger develops enough pressure for 10 minutes' 

 spraying, and the pressure is strong enough to turn 

 the leaves and thoroughly saturate them. 



It Makes Things Grow 



preventing the ravages of insects and 

 plant diseases of all kinds. No mat- 

 ter what spi-aying solution is neces- 

 sary, the Auto-Spray will use it more 

 efficiently than any other machine. 

 Just the thing for the small orchard, 

 berry patch, vineyard, garden, field 

 crop (up to 5 acres) and for white- 

 washing and disinfecting poultry 

 houses and stables.
