<J Every living thing has its enemy. 

 This fact is brought home to those 

 of us who watch our own gardens. 

 Hardly a plant sends out a green shoot 

 but some insect comes along to destroy it. 

 ^ Aphine destroys these insects, and pro- 

 tects plants. ^ Aphine is a concentrated 

 liquid spray which dilutes readily with 

 water and is easily applied. <I Aphine is 

 endorsed by gardeners, nurserymen and 

 country home owners all over the country .
