 GROWING 



The healthier the tree, the better 

 the fruit. The longer trees are 

 sprayed with "SCALECIDE" the 

 more beautiful, healthful and 

 fruitful they become. "SCALE- 

 CIDE" is the acknowledged leader of all soluble oils — the only 

 one containing distinct fungicidal properties. "SCALECIDE" 

 will positively kill all soft-bodied sucking insects without injury 

 to the tree. Let us prove these statements. Send today for free

KEEP YOUR BUILDINGS DRY 



There are over two hundred water-proof and damp-proof materials 



on the market, making all manner of extravagant claims. 



DONT BE MISLED 



For fifteen years my connection with water-proofing problems has 



forced me to study the value of materials-and the proper use of same. 



The money I have expended to find out, may result in a saving 



to you. Confer with me on all damp-proofing or water-proofing 



problems, either above or below ground. Send for descriptive literature.
