Rmiy Rental 



Trinidad Lake asphalt contains nat- 

 ural oils that keep Genasco "alive" 

 and defensive. Manufactured asphalts 

 won't do that — they dry out; and roof- 

 ings made of them crack and leak. 

 Real economy prompts you to get Gen- 

 asco. 



Mineral or smooth surface. Comes ready 

 and easy for you to lay. Ask 

 your dealer for Genasco.

Ten years ago COUNTRY 

 LIFE IN AMERICA was 

 born. No magazine had 

 ever been made that was like 

 it and some people said it 

 would not be welcomed— but 

 it was. 



It has just issued a Birth-

modest autobiography of itself. And yet : 



(i) Country Life started a whole new field of out-of-door 

 periodicals. 



(2) It developed a new and most delightful field of adver- 

 tising; real estate, horses and dogs and chickens, rugs 

 and antique furniture, nursery stock and garden tools, 

 out-of-doors furniture and building wares and many other 

 things attractively illustrated. 



(3) It started poor men and rich men spending money on 

 country living which they never regretted. 



It grows stronger and better, year by year.

MODERN 



FRUIT 

 METHODS 



"Modern Methods of Harvesting, Grading and Packing Apples" is a book that should 

 be in the hands of every orchardist who is desirous of getting the highest possible 

 price for his apples. It illustrates and describes the Western methods of fruit 

 packing. The fruit grower of the East is greatly indebted to his Western brother 

 for showing him the great possibilities that lie in the fruit business, and if, with the 

 great natural advantages of soil, rainfall and close proximity of market, he does not 

 profit by ftiis example, he has no one to blame but himself. A postal request to 

 Dept. "I" will bring you by return mail, free, the above book and new 

 booklet, " 'Scalecide,' the Tree-Saver. " If your dealer cannot supply you with 

 "Scalecide" we will deliver it to any railroad station in the United States east of the 

 Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers on receipt of the price. 50-gallon barrels, 

 $25.00; 30-gallon barrels. $13.00; 10-gallon cans, $6.75; 5-gallon cans, $3.75.
