Water Lilies 
Are Like Nothing Else 
Some people believe their own grounds are ideal until they see 
a water garden in the grounds of a friend. Then the realization 
comes to them that no garden can be complete without water 
lilies and aquatic plants. 
Lilies Grow Readily 
in Tubs or in Pools 
They need but sunshine, water, and a little soil to attain per- 
fection. The pond or tub may be used as an aquarium, and 
serve to interest children and elders alike with the actions of 
goldfish, tadpoles, and small turtles. 
My Booklet gives cultural directions and catalogues all the 
desirable varieties. If you are interested, send for a copy now, 
as the edition is somewhat limited

THE FLANDERS POPPY 
In Flanders Field the poppies blow 
Between the crosses row on row, 
That mark our place; and in the sky 
The larks still bravely singing, fly 
Scarce heard amid the guns below, 
—Extract from Col. McCrae's well lcnovmpoem. 
We have secured a limited quantity of seed 
to introduce this blossom ofimmortal mem- 
ory to America. (See illustration.) It is 15c 
a package or 65c an ounce. 
S UCCESSFUL planters have depended upon Salzer’s 
Seeds through all the years they can remember. 
Only a few will be able to recall the days when fealzer 
was a young firm. 
Fifty-two years ago, John A. Salzer set a high stand- 
ard of quality for his seeds. Salzer’s Seeds today 
yield even better results than the seeds the founder sold. 
In that more-than-half-a-century the science of agri- 
culture has made powerful strides. Salzer has kept pace 
with the advance and often acted as its pathfinder. Crops 
in abundance follow the sowing of Salzer’s Seeds . 
Send today for a copy of our 1920 general 
catalog — 168 pages t profusely illustrated — 98 
pages showing 275 Salzer varieties in full 
color. A postcard will bring it to you — Free .

FERTILIZER -RING DEPOSITOR 
Places any material, phosphate, nitrate, lime, salt, ashes, etc., in measured 
quantity, around seed or growing plant. Equally valuable on large or 
small area. 
GEORGE HOYT ALLEN, Clinton’s World-Famed Author-Farmer 
Clinton N. Y., October 2, 1919. I never raised such com as that upon 
which your Fertilizer-Ring Depositor was used and I have seen com from 
New York to Hong Kong. I feel sure your Fertilizer-Ring method of de- 
positing chemical fertilizer is the correct one, and that your idea of supply- 
ing nourishment during growth rather than at planting time is scientific. 
This method gives the farmer the chance of watching what he plants, and 
if pursued will allow him added acreage for feed crops, which will do 
more to make him economically free than any other thing.
