Raise Food This Year 



War must be won by food, says Hoover — and he knows! The garden must 



decide whether we live well or scantily — regardless of our money. Never 



before has America faced a food shortage. Never before has the garden 



meant so much. It is the time to add greatly to its products with 



Callahan {)UO (lazecl Hotbeds 



Callahan Duo-Glazed Sash 



is frost proof, easily glazed by one lockstrip, made 

 extra well of selected Louisiana Red Cypress, "the 

 wood eternal." It will last for years — long after you 

 have forgotten all about the modest price- — because 

 the real quality is built into it. 



Easily cleaned, too — the plants get all the sunlight, 

 for it requires no covering either. Made in small or 

 large units, complete with pitframes or without. 



Callahan Duo-Glazed Sash is a real'answer to the de- 

 mand for food — and more food — for 'with it you can 

 add largely to your garden's product — and enjoy fresh 

 vegetables all year. 



Prices are at rock bottom — lower we fear than we can 

 maintain them, with lumber scarcity and advancing 

 costs. Railroad shipments, too, are slow. So act now.

 formation — and get your orders in at once!

They double the growing season, for they defy frost. They start 

 the garden months earlier and prolong its life weeks and weeks — even all winter.

Your Own Lawn and Your Neighbor's 



Both alike when made — but not alike last summer. 

 One was thin, weedy, and yellow, the other thick and green. 



Proper fertilizing made the difference. 



While this seems a simple fact, many fail to realize that 

 no living thing, plant or animal, can exist, far less grow with- 

 out food. Why expect your lawn to be vigorous and strong 

 enough in its growth to keep out weeds, if you starve it ? 



A good lawn is a veritable mat of millions of grass plants 

 which draw heavily on the fertilizing elements in the soil. 

 No crop is in greater need of adequate fertilization. 



Takoma Odorless Lawn Plant Food 



a concentrated, quickly available fertilizer, applied about the 

 season of April showers, will work wonders — and sustain the 

 lawn in good shape throughout the year. It is absolutely 

 odorless and more economical than other materials recom- 

 mended for lawn grass, a little being sufficient for a large 

 area. 



Send for our booklet " The Maintenance of Lawns and 

 Golf Courses," which covers this subject thoroughly.
