Potted Ferns 
For July Planting 
ferns grown in pots can be transplanted 
any time during the growing season with- 
out setback or injury to plants. Because 
with us, orders never stop, I have developed 
a stock of pot-grown ferns second to none 
in the country. All are shipped with ball 
of earth, assuring arrival in perfect growing 
condition.

Ferns for Rocky Ledges 
With my sturdy, pot-grown plants, effects like that 
pictured below are easily created in mid-summer. I 
can supply special collections of perfectly hardy, low- 
growing, evergreen ferns for both shady Rockeries and 
dry ledges. Four Dozen Plants in either collection at 
#7.50, constitutes the most remarkable bargain in 
hardy ferns obtainable anywhere. 
Of course, I have other collections made up for other 
special locations, such as in open sun; dry, shady 
places; moist shady ground; wet, open spots. If you 
love ferns you are bound to find some in my collection 
that will thrive for you under the particular conditions 
of your garden.

Home Defense 
to the Rescue 
It’s«too late now for preventive “reg- 
ular” remedies that might have checked 
bug invasions in the home garden weeks 
ago. July is the month to use specific 
remedies — “last minute” insecticides that 
are sure to do the work when it is too late 
for experiments! 
The Recognized Standard Insecticide 
Is the ideal “Home Defense” Guard 
especially adapted for use by private and 
amateur gardeners. A concentrated 
liquid that is easily mixed, easily applied, 
free from all sediments that clog sprayers. 
A sure remedy for all sap sucking insects 
such as green, black and white aphis, 
thrips as well as soft bodied “chewing” 
insects like currant and cabbage slugs. 
Equally useful with vegetables, fruits 
and flowers.

I* ungme and Mildew 
A most efficient remedy for many fungi and 
blights affecting celery and other vegetables, roses, 
sweet peas as well as other flowers and fruits A 
liquid sulphur spray that does not stain foliage, but 
cleanses, protects from disease and encourages 
vigorous foliage growth. Applied at regular 
intervals of a week or ten days it is a sure preven- 
tive for both garden and greenhouse use.

It means sure death to all insects or vermin 
working in the soil or around roots of plants. A 
thorough soaking of the soil with a Vermine solution 
(direction on package) sterilizes, drives out or kills 
insects and makes your garden safe for some time 
from the ravages of hidden invaders. Ideal for 
potted plants, freeing them from angle and eel 
worms. Make Vermine your home defense against 
ravages by enemies beneath the soil. 
Aphine, Fungine

wanting. These products have 
been on the market for many 
years and proven thoroughly reli- 
able in thousands of gardens. All

gardeners.

ing materials and are applied as per directions on 
each can. Put up in sizes to meet the requirements 
of all growers — whether for the home garden of 
modest dimensions or for extensive ranges of the 
commercial grower. All good seedhouses sell them.
