Rose Garden Requisites 
Tried, tested, and used by ourselves as 
the most efficient control known for 
fungous diseases, such as mildew or black- 
spot, also for destroying slugs and 
caterpillars that eat the foliage. 
This is a combination of the finest 
ground sulphur (300 mesh) and lead 
arsenate, which prevents defoliation of 
Roses by mildew or black-spot. 
Recommended by Dr. Massey, of 
Cornell University, specialist on Rose 
diseases for The American Rose Society, 
who has made a special study of these 
Rose maladies. 
Apply by shaking through a fine cloth or 
use the Hand Dust Gun. See next column. 
Fungous diseases spread rapidly in 
damp weather if neglected. Prevention 
is always better than cure. Get your 
supply of Star Rose Dust now and have 
it on hand to use when needed. Price, 
50 cts. per [b.-can, postpaid.

STIM-U-PLANT TABLETS 
These tablets are the last word in modern

All growing plants must be fed if you 
expect them to produce results, and they

feeding. Everything you grow depends on 
fertilization. STIM-U-PLANT makes 
Chlorophyl, which means the same to a 
plant as blood to a human being. 
STIM-U-PLANT has guaranteed analy- 
sis of 11 per cent nitrogen, 12 per cent 
phosphoric acid, 15 per cent potash, and 
you apply it where and when needed. Ap- 
ply to your Rose plants after the buds 
have formed. Trial size 25 cts., 100 tab- 
lets 75 cts., 1,000 tablets $3.50, postpaid.
