KALAKA 



The Wizard Lawn Producer 



Takes the place of Seed and Fertilizer 



How much better a green, well-kept lawn looks. 

 You no longer need bother and wait, only to be re- 

 warded by a few feeble, short-lived blades of grass. 

 Sow your ground witn 



Kalaka 



and have a velvet lawn of permanent green. The most 

 wonderful evolution of modern agricultural methods. 

 Saves time — saves trouble — saves expense. 

 All Kalaka needs is water. Choicest seeds obtain- 

 able, scientifically blended with just the proportion of 

 rich pulverized dried animal manures required by 

 nature to produce a turf of fine, hardy grass and a 

 lawn of close, firm and lasting green. Lawns with 

 shady spots — wornspots — sun baked spots — spots of all 

 kinds where the vegetation is scanty, can be immedi- 

 ately put in shape. Kalaka, the Wizard Lawn Pro- 

 ducer, for "putting greens" on golf links can't bebeat. 

 If your dealer cannot supply you, send us his 

 name and mail us One Dollar(Si.oo) and we will send 

 you, express prepaid, to any part of the United States 

 a five pound packnge, enough to sow 1,000 square feet 

 of new la»vn or renew 2,000 square feet of old lawn. 

 Costs less than common seed — goes further — and pro- 

 vides seed and fertilizer with one application. Used 

 by the largest public park systems in the country.

Speed is vital. And speed depends on practical mechan- 

 ical principles worked out with practical precision. 

 What's the use of 6 shots if you can't get them in? 

 Without speed— without a smooth, easy action you may find yourself with 

 5 unborn shots in your magazine — while your birds fly away. 



The chance of clogging the ordinary Repeating Gun cuts down your possible speed. 



The more expert you become the greater this drawba ck. 



You cannot balk nor clog a Stevens Repeating Shotgun — the empty and the loaded shells 



do not meet. They travel by 2 separate routes. No chance for them to meet — no chance for a 



clog. Six times you can do this— or six hundred times. 



The best experts in the country have tried to balk this gun and failed, because no human 



hand can accomplish the impossible. 



The Stevens is a natural pointer. This is a new feature to shotguns. It's Browning's latest 



patent. The best way to understand it is to go to your dealer and ask him to let you put a 



Stevens to your shoulder. See with your own eyes how this gun "points itself" because of 



its racy lines and the perfected balance and because of the STEVENS Sighting System- 

 Try it to-day — this afternoon. Note that the breech is a solid steel wall — note that 



the gun is hammerless and that with the Stevens you are safe against accident. 

 Safety, close hard shooting, top speed, are these the points you want ? See 



the gun. Printed facts clinch harder when these facts are put before your eyes. 



Your dealer is waiting to show you that Stevens. 



Points for the Sharpshooter, Hunter or Trap Shooter : 



You can obtain a letter written you personally by one of our experts on either 

 or all of these subjects giving valuable advice. We send you free a 160-page 

 Stevens Gun Book telling about Rifles, Shotguns, Pistols and Rifle Telescopes. 

 Just the information you need to know about guns, and the advice in the 

 letter helps you to be an expert shot. Write now — to-day.
