in order to appreciate Nature. The big, fundamental facts, the 
really interesting things that make every walk seem different, are told in the new 
Worth Knowing Series 
T HESE books give a comprehensive and new familiarity with the out-of-doors; the everyday things 
of Nature without burdening you with detail useless except to the trained naturalist. They are 
midway in scope and appeal between "The Pocket Nature Guides” and the larger “New Nature 
Library”; not as condensed as the former nor as detailed as the latter. They solve the problem of the 
average person, who wants to know just the things worth knowing in the nature world about him. 192 
illustrations, 144 of them in color.

P REVENTION is better than cure. Begin 
to spray your plants and flowers during 
their dormant period and an occasional additional 
application during the summer will destroy all in- 
sect life and insure brilliant foliage, fine flowers, 
perfect vegetables and fruit. 
For $2.00 we supply our Imperial Home Garden Package mak- 
ing fifty gallons of spraying material, enough for a f-acre garden 
a whole season. With it we send a spray pump and our com- 
plete spray guide for Home Flower and Vegetable Garden 
FREE. All Imperial products are manufactured from formulas 
recommended by the U. S. Government and Agricultural 
Colleges. 
If your hardware dealer cannot supply you, send $2.C0 to us di- 
rect and complete package will be forwarded by prepaid express.

Kill the W eeds — once for all 
Beautiful grounds can be kept beautiful — free from weeds — 
without paying the almost prohibitive cost of hand-weeding. 
Owners of estates and homes, ground round about is steril- 
country clubs, municipalities 
and railroads all over the coun- 
try employ Atlas Chemical 
Weed Killer instead of costly 
hand-labor. 
Atlas comes in highly concen- 
trated liquid form. You mix 
it with 20 parts water and ap- 
ply in ordinary sprinkling can 
or cart. Atlas enters the plant 
at the surface and soaks down 
to the deepest root. Weeds 
die in a few days and the 
ized for all season. 
One gallon of Atlas Weed Killer 
keeps 6oo sq. ft. clean for the 
whole year. Compare this with 
costly hand-w'eeding which 
must be done over and over again
