 necessary as fer- 

 tilizing and culti- 

 vating. Leaf-eating 

 insects are most in-

 spray with

New Process Arsenate of Lead

 fectiveness, safety from foliage burning and 

 economy — the latter due to its covering 

 capacity and adhesiveness. It contains the 

 largest possible amount of arsenate that can

 a safe spray.

Garden Boosters 



WHAT'S the use of fussing along 

 again this year with your garden, 

 and worrying because it's so cold 

 you "can't put seed in " ; or when the plants 

 are up, it's so cold they "won't grow." 



Garden right this year! 



Buy some of our Garden Boosters and 

 start your seeds in them at once, and have 

 fine husky plants a couple of inches high 

 ready for setting out, at the time you used 

 to plant just seeds. Get enough of our 

 handy size kind so you can tote them about 

 anywhere in your garden and put them over 

 the plants you wish to protect or force along. 



They are just the ideal thing to start early 

 melons and cucumbers. When it gets too 



warm for the glass, substitute netting as a 

 protection against thosepesky yellow striped 

 bugs that chewed your vines up last year. 



We make these frames in half a dozen 

 sizes from 11§ x 13 inches, up to ones taking 

 regular standard 3x6 feet cold-frame sash. 



Every one of them is made of best of cy- 

 press bolted together with cast iron corner 

 braces. 



Our Two P's Booklet shows and prices 

 them all, besides giving you a goodly 

 bundle of boosting helps. Helps you will 

 particularly value. 



Order your Boosters at once and get 

 your seeds started — a warm winter means 

 a cold late spring.
