Is this happening o 

 Your Garden* 



in 



Do you find chewed up petals on your Roses, your Pinks, your 

 Poppies, in short, on any of the delicate flowers of which the rose- 

 bugs thrive? 



Are any of your Chry- 

 santhemums or other fall \ 

 flowering plants troubled 

 by plant lice or aphis, 

 which suck the life juice of 

 the plant? If so 



This 



All-around Contact Insecticide 



Will Stop It! 



MELROSINE will definitely destroy not only rosebugs and aphis, but it proves 

 death to striped beetles, red spiders, saw-bugs, thrips, in short, it is 



FATAL TO EVERY BUG IT TOUCHES 



MELROSINE is obtainable in the following packages: 



Gallon, $6.00; Half-Gallon, £3.25; Quart £1.75; Pint gi.oo. These prices for 

 East of Rockies, with transportation collected upon deli-very. 



At Best Horticultural stores

 and afford us the opportunity of supplying you, kindly sending cash with order, as we 

 do not open small accounts.

NEW Yl 



An Unusual 

 Bearded IRIS 



In Iris Demi-deuil, we have an Iris 

 that more nearly approaches in color 

 many of the Pogon-oncocyclus hy- 

 brids, with its deep livid purple tone, 

 the amber yellow in standard and 

 style branch lighting it up like a 

 gleam of sunshine. While some do 

 not care for it others admire it much, select- 

 ing it in preference to any other. Decorative 

 as a cut flower. Medium in size and height. 

 $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen postpaid.

Portable 

 HOUSES 



"Altogether 



A Great Success" 



IF you doubt that a portable building can be 

 wholly practical you should talk to some of 

 the people who have lived for years in Hodgson 

 Portable Houses. Invariably they find that a 

 Hodgson House exceeds the promises that are 

 made for its beauty, comfort and permanency. 



And these things are true despite the fact 

 that two days at most, by unskilled workmen, 

 is all the time required to erect even the largest 

 Hodgson House. 



You will find cottages, bungalows, play- 

 houses, offices, and many other types illustrated 

 in our catalog which is mailed free on request.

I Think it's Time to 

 Think of Peonies! 



Make your slogan for fall work: — Plant more Peonies! 

 It's been my own for nearly half a century and I have 

 never regretted it. Five hundred distinct sorts I am grow- 

 ing now! Too many, many of you will say, "Yes, but they 

 are like children. The more you have, the more you love 

 them and which would you give up?" 

 So please let's get together on the subject of PEONIES. 

 The first step is to get a copy of my free catalogue — please 

 ask for it. For those in search of rare kinds I offer one 

 eye divisions at a reduced price.
