 insects. They save mil- 

 lions of bushels of 

 grain, fruit and vege- 

 tables every year. 



It is your duty to protect 

 them and fumish them 

 with safe homes, in which 

 to raise their young this 

 spring. You will be paid 

 a thousand fold for they 

 will free your grounds and 



SS-Room Colonial Martin Bouse garc j eriS from insect pests 



and gladden your heart with their beauty and song. 

 There is just the right kind of a 



Dodson Bird House

Grow Roses and Keep 



The bow that's always bent soon loses 

 strength. The man or woman who works 

 always at high pressure is soon spent. Some- 

 where, somehow, we all must accumulate 

 strength, enthusiasm and a fresh outlook, 

 else our most earnest efforts to serve our 

 country will fall short. 

 "Grow Roses and keep fit." 

 That's Nature's own pre- 

 scription. Begin at once 

 with the wonderful new 



Chinese 

 "Hugonis" Rose 



— a rare variety of great beauty. Its 

 yard-long sprays of delicate bloom are 

 of rich yellow. The foliage is dainty 

 and attractive throughout the season. 

 The young shoots of rich crimson lend 

 an added charm. Yet this remarkable 

 new beauty is as hardy as a daisy and 

 a vigorous grower. We recommend it 

 heartily for the lawn or for planting 

 among shrubbery. Own-root pot plants; 

 2 year size, #1.50 each, postpaid. Larger 

 2 year plants, by express, $2; 3 year, by 

 express, $5. 



Every reader of the Garden Magazine should 

 plant at least one "Hugonis" Rose this Spring. 

 And we have enough to go around — if you order 

 promptly.
