FAISMOUITT WEED KIIiIiEB — The method of killing weeds 
thoroughly by application of this liquid has become general. 
It is a great labor-saver. It is to be used only on paths, 
drives, gutters and places where no growth is wanted. Best 
time to apply is after rain, while the ground is moist, and 
will absorb the liquid to the roots of grass and weeds. One 
gallon will make 50 gallons of treating liquid, sufficient to 
cover 150 square yards of surface. 
Price, 1 gallon W.l'o 
AKSENATE OP IiEAD — This is a stomach poison which is rap- 
idly taking the place of Paris Green. Its great advantages 
are' that it adheres well to the foliage and hence the spraying 
does not have to be repeated, as it does not readily wash off 
with rain. It also remains suspended weh in water, so that 
an even distribution can be obtained. It is white in color and 
shows just where it has been applied. But perhaps its prin- 
cipal advantages lie in the fact that it does not injure tender 
foliage. It is thus worthy of very general use.

FOBMAI.DEHVDE — Tlie loss to the farmers of the United States 
from smut and other fungus diseases of wheit, barley, oats 
and other grains amounts to millions of dollars every year. 
The spores or seed of the fungus are on the seed grain which 
you plant; when the grain sprouts and grows the fungus 
grows, toi>; it follows up through the stalk into the blade and 
into the ear, and the result is blighted plant, smut grains and 
a diseased yield of inferior quality. The same holds true of 
scab, which has proved such a blight to the Irish potato crop. 
Can you afford to use it? The price of a bushel of wheat 
expended for Formaldehyde will add several bushels to the 
ne.vt harvest. It takes as much land and labor to raise a 
light crop as a heavy one. Think it over. Sold in bottles.

A Little Personal Talk with You. 
We hope you bought our HARDY NORTHERN SEEDS 
last year and were well pleased with the way the order 
was filled and the quality of the seeds. If everything 
was not all right, we wish you would write us and tell 
us wiiat was wrong. 
It is a wonder if you did not have some reason for 
complaint last season, for the sales of our HARDY 
NORTHERN SEEDS were greater than they had ever 
been before. We had no reason to expect such a great 
increase and were not prepared to properly take care of 
it. We cannot understand how we got through without 
making more mistakes tlian the few we have heard 
about. 
This great increase in sales shows that our customers 
like our HARDY NORTHERN SEEDS. We have made 
big plans to take care of everything that comes our way. 
We have the largest and best supply of seeds we have 
ever had. We have added every possible convenience for 
handling the business quickly and have hired additional 
help in all departments. We have taken unusual care in 
growing and selecting this year's seeds and have given 
all of them the most rigid germination tests. We must 
positively know that our seeds will make good, strong 
growth before we send them out. 
While we believe we will be able to take care of all 
orders promptly, we will consider it a great favor it 
you will send your order Just as early as possible. It 
will be better for you and a great aid to us to have your 
order put up and out of the way, before everybody about 
tlie place is rushed. We will be less liable to make mis- 
takes and more apt not to forget the little extras we put 
in when we have the time. The seeds will cost you no 
more and it will be better for you to have just what you 
want when you want It and not have to wait to order. 
We will hold and ship your order any time you wish. 
We hope that the year 1913 will be a very prosperous 
one for you and that our NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS 
will help make it so. We want you to feel that we have 
a personal interest in your success. Any time we can 
be of assistance to you, don't hesitate to call on us. We 
are always glad to answer questions and give advice, 
where we can. It is not only a pleasure, but a part of 
our business. Yours truly, 
STATE NURSERY CO.
