Strokum is a finely shredded prep- 

 aration incorporated with a vegetable 

 extract destructive to the caterpillars 

 but absolutely harmless to the trees. 

 Strokum fill the chinks of bark, so 

 caterpillars can't crawl under it. 

 They won't crawl over it. 



Mail us$i .00 and we will send you. 

 e__„;_l express paid, enough 

 special Strokum to band five trees, 

 Urrer averaging i foot in diame- 

 ter. West of Mississippi, 50c extra. 



Strokum 



For Caterpillars 



It keeps them from crawling up the 

 trunk. 



Bind it around your trees this month 

 and save the first tender leaves from being 

 riddled. Every caterpillar you keep down 

 in the early spring means hundreds pre- 

 vented later on. Easy to apply. Cannot 

 injure your trees. When removed in fall, 

 comes off clean — no unsightly remnants 

 left. It is by far the most effectual band- 

 ing substance known. One banding lasts 

 entire season. Send at once for booklet.
