For The Garden 

 And Lawn 



It's easy to double the yield of the garden and also 

 produce better vegetables — lettuce, radishes and 

 onions that are crisp and tender: peas and beans 

 full-bodied and rich; com with a good ear and a 

 juicy grain; melons large and luscious; full hills 

 of sound potatoes, and tomato vines that bear all 

 summer. 



You can also hurry the growth for early table use. 

 But you must feed the soil with 



Sheep's Head Sheep Manure 



Richest of all manures. Xo weed seeds — all killed 

 by intense heat. Rich in nitrogen, phosphoric acid 

 and potash. Adds humus to soil by decomposition 

 of animal matter. Dried and pulverized, ready to 

 apply. Get the kind guaranteed full strength — 

 Sheep's Head. 



A wonderful fertilizer for lawns to secure a quick 

 growth of green grass. Also for flowers, shrubbery 

 and orchards.

Don't experiment when you paint your house this spring 



We' ve done that for you and the result of years of experimenting is S W P — Sherwin-Williams 

 Paint (Prepared). There is an exactness in the formula and a thoroughness in the mixing of 

 the pure ingredients that insures a perfect painting result. 



A gallon of S W P will cover more surface than you ever thought possible, and will wear 

 and hold its color so well that its use is genuine economy. It's one of many Sherwin-Williams 

 finishes, every one of which is most effective for its specific purpose. In our 



Portfolio of Plans for Home Decoration 



you will find everything about the use of S W P and 

 other finishes and how to apply them with the best 

 results — practical and artistic. It is a handsome 



booklet containing- complete decorative plans for the 

 painter and yourself. And it's free. Let us send it 

 to you.
