Will You Invest 25 Cents 



on My Say-so?- 



For over a year I have worked on a book on Peonies. It is in many respects 

 the most expensive book I have ever published, but then, as a Fan, I count the 

 cost but little so long as the book helps to the end. "Tips and Pointers" pub- 

 lished a year ago made a great hit. It was but a stepping stone, however, to 

 "Unvarnished Facts," the 10,000 edition of which is just now being completed. 

 It is too expensive to be distributed indiscriminately, but every reader of Gar- 

 den Magazine ought to have one. 



If You Grow PEONIES or are Going 

 to You Will Want This Book SURE! 



To mention just one of the items that make this book expensive, let me 

 mention some illustrations lithographed in eight colors, I am told by far the best 

 color illustrations of Peonies ever published, at a cost of $750 each. But the 

 illustrations, while good, do not represent the real meat in the book. You will, 

 find it to contain the whole truth about Peonies, from the Peony Heaven down 

 to the Peony Purgatory. So sure am I that the book is worth all it costs that 

 I will make you the following liberal proposition: 



Read the book and if you do not think it worth $1 .00, I will return your 

 25c. and you can keep the book. Or you may deduct 25c. from the first order 

 amounting to $5.00 so that the book really costs you nothing. 



When ordering, please mention this special Garden Magazine offer, while 

 those who have never heard of me are welcome to a free copy of last year's book 

 called "Tips and Pointers."

W Next to ROSES 

 they attack the 

 PEONIES Most! 



We have yet to discover limitations to the 

 appetite of the destructive Rosebugs! Their 

 insatiable desire to destroy all you cherish in 

 your flower garden is the more amazing because 

 they devour anything having delicate petals. 

 Peonies, Poppies, Rhododendrons, Grape blos- 

 soms — none are safe unless you keep on hand 

 the one sure remedy — • 



R MELROSINE- 



The General Contact Insecticide 



FATAL TO EVERY BUG IT TOUCHES 



Besides killing Rosebugs, it has been found highly ef- 

 fective in combating most species of Plant Lice, Black 

 Flies, Green Flies, Soft Scale Insects, Rose Leaf Hoppers, 

 Saw Flies, Japanese Beetles, etc., etc. New uses are being 

 constantly reported, the dilution sometimes requiring mod- 

 ification for heavy attacks or the more resistent species.
