Harmony and Durability 

 in Paint 



It is a fortunate thing in house painting 

 that beauty and wear may go hand in hand. 

 The color scheme should be one that will 

 make the home an attractive and harmo- 

 nious part of the neighborhood picture. 

 That gives you beauty. 



The wear that is the duration of the 

 beauty depends on the materials and the 

 way they are applied. When you buy 

 or specify 



"Dutch Boy Painter" 



Pure White Lead 



and pure linseed oil, you have gone as far 

 as any one can go in the choice of right 

 materials. They are standard and reliable. 

 A good painter does the rest. 



The cost of this best sort of painting is 

 not excessive, for two simple reasons: 

 White lead paint covers better than sub- 

 stitutes and wears longer. 



Painting Helps, 



one of our booklets, gives you 

 practical aid in deciding what 

 combination of colors will best 

 suit your style of house. Other 

 booklets and specifications will 

 show you the advantages of 

 "Dutch Boy Painter" white- 

 leading. Ask for Painting Helps

 Melon Month 

 If You Have 

 One of Our 



Greenhouses 



Luscious golden meated melons 



with the true melony flavor — 



melons that you can depend on 



being uniformly delicious whether 



it be August or January. Melons 



that weigh pounds — not ounces.

Then there are cucumbers (we mean 

 the crispy sort with soft seeds and snow 

 white meat). You can grow the tele- 

 phone pole variety and get "cukes" a foot and 

 a half long. You can't do such things without 

 a greenhouse. 



And there's strawberries. Think of the keen 

 pleasure you would take in picking those big 

 white tipped blood red clusters of berries such 

 as you see only in greenhouses. Think of put- 

 ting a few pots of them right on thetable and giving 

 your guests the pleasure of picking the ripe fruit 

 right off the vines. 



Think of going out to your greenhouse some 

 zero day and picking an armful of roses — some 



sweet peas, and a ripe melon! For an equal 

 expenditure, where is there a hobby from which 

 you can get its equivalent in actual returns and 

 innumerable pleasures? Just to better know the 

 further possibilities of one of our greenhouses, as 

 well as the careful way a greenhouse should be 

 built (to be successful —and inexpensive to run) 

 send for our new catalog. It has over 400 

 llustrations — some in five colors. 



If you want to start your house at once — the one 

 best way to save time is to send for us to come 

 and talk it over with you and if possible see its 

 proposed location. If you will do that. 

 we ought to be able to have it ready in 

 time to start your flowers for the winter.

800 GALLONS 



OR 

 1500 GALLONS? 



A few years ago the N. Y. Experiment Station started out to prove that " Scale- 

 cide " was too expensive, but they found that in orchard work 9 gals, of " Scale- 

 cide " went as far as 17 gals, of Lime-Sulfur. This being the case, a barrel of 

 " Scalecide " which makes 800 gals, of spray at the strongest strength, will go as 

 far and do better work than 1,500 gals, of Lime-Sulfur spray, which will require 

 3'A barrels of the best Lime-Sulfur. The Missouri Experiment Station reports 

 that " Scalecide " killed 100% of scale in 5 out of 7 tests. Lime-Sulfur did not 

 do it once in 10 tests in the same orchard. "Scalecide" has greater fungicidal 

 properties than Lime-Sulfur as a Winter wash. A postal request to Dept." I " will bring by return mail, free, our 

 book, "Modern Methods of Harvesting, Grading and Packing Apples,'' and new booklet, "Scalecide, the Tree- 

 Saver." If your dealer cannot supply you with " Scalecide " we will deliver it to any R. R. Station in the U. S. 

 east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers on receipt of price. 50-gal. bbls., $25; 30-gal. bbls., $16; 

 10-gal. cans, $6.75; 5-gal. cans. $3.75. Address B. G. Pratt Company, Dept. I, 50 Church Street, New York City.
