P^IiE'P PERFECT M#IiE l^P e 



We have offered for several yean the very best Mole Traps that ingenuity could devise, for de- 

 struction of the little pests which play such havoc in the garden, and have sold hundreds of various 

 traps which have proven more or less effective. But the great need of a perfect mole trap has brought 

 out many improvements, and the one we now offer, we believe to be the best and most complete Mole 

 Trap ever invented, and is superior to all others in the following respects : 



Owing to the arrangements for holding the spring, it is easier to set than any other trap, and cannot 

 'startle " or injure the operator while being set. 



The construction of the trap is such that it will catch moles when quite deep in the ground, and 

 there being no pin or other obstruction projecting into the run. there is nothing to frighten or disturb 

 the mole ns it passes, and in doing so raises the ground over the "run" (which always sinks somewhat), 

 just enough to spring the trigger, which must firmly rest on the soil over the 'run." 



The points of the pins being constantly in the ground, it cannot catch or injure chickens or other 

 domestic animals 



Cannot be blown over, or injured in any way by rain or storm, and being made entirely of metal, 

 cannot warp, twist or get out of order, and is light, neat and durable. 



The ground not being disturbed in any manner, it can be set close to plants without injuring 

 them, and it can also be set touching a wall, fence, etc., without impairing the working of the trap in 

 any way. 



WHERE TO SET THE TRAP. 



There are many tracks through which a mole passes but once, and, of course, it is useless to place 

 the trap over such a run. To find a run which is frequently used, depress" the ridges for a short dis- 

 tance in several parts of the lawn. As Moles pass through some rufis at regular intervals, say about 

 li o'clock. M., and again at 6 P M., it is an easy matter to tell whjch "runs" are used, by examining 

 :he depressions and noting those that have been raised. Full directions for setting sent with each trap.

INSECT DEATH POWDER. 



We have used the Insect Death Powder, for the past two years in our Greenhouse Department, and have found, when 

 applied by the "Excelsior Insect Powder Gun" nothing so effective in destroying Caterpillars, Rose Hugs Slugs. Green-flv, Ants 

 and Thrip. and nearly all other insects attacking plants, whether inside or out. It is also equally effective in destroy tng Cock- 

 roaches, Bed Bugs, Ked Ants and other insects infesting dwellings. Being composed entirelr of vegetable ingredients, it in'no way 

 injures plants, and rather tends to fertilize than otherwise . Pric;, 5 cts per oz.; 15 cts. per & lb.; 50 cts. per lb.
