BEATING THESE INSECTS 

 IS EASY WITH KNOW-HOW 



Ever since the first garden was planted, 

 the fight between gardeners and in- 

 sects has gone merrily along. 

 But nowadays that fight is growing 

 easier, year by year. Just reasonably 

 good strategy is all the gardener needs 

 to v/in. 



To make the job even easier, we pre- 

 sent here a highly valuable anti-bug 

 weapon. This is our series of natural 

 color portraits of the common garden 

 enemies (at the right). 



To Beat Them, KNOW THEM! 

 Th^se unique pictures have just one 

 purpose — to help you identify the pests 

 in your own garden. 



Once you know exactly which insect 

 ycu are fighting, the job is easy. There's 

 a proper insecticide for every one of 

 them. 



That's where our color pictures are sO 

 extremely useful. When you have these 

 life-like portraits before you, identifica- 

 tion is easier and more certain than 

 ever! 



Ask Us for the Remedy! 



Insects are spread over the season and 

 in different stages of life from the egg, 

 the larva to the bug itself. Their meth- 

 ods of attack vary in two ways either 

 as chewers or suckers. The wide va- 

 riety of harmful insects in their varied 

 stages of life require in some cases 

 vastly different chemicals to meet the 

 immediate requirements. 

 To link up each bug with the insecti- 

 cide that will handle him, JUST ASK 

 US. We keep very close watch on all 

 new developments. We know exactly 

 which of the new formulas have proved 

 themselves . . . and what they can do. 

 This practical knowledge is at your 

 service, whenever you need it! 



So — with this weapon at hand, let's 

 v/ork together. You identify 'em! We'll 

 prescribe for 'em! And from then on, 

 Mr. Bug will have a pretty bad time 

 of it. 



for Insecticides 

 SEE THE SEEDSMAN! 



You can buy insecticides in many 

 types of stores. 



But there's only one type of store 

 where the necessary KNOW-HOW 

 goes along with the merchandise. 



A good seedsman isn't only a mer- 

 chant. He's a garden doctor, always 

 on the job to help you make your 

 home more beautiful, more fruitful. 

 He KNOWS! 



Therefore, plain common sense says, 

 "FOR INSECTICIDES 

 SEE THE SEEDSMAN!"
