Keep the children at home by making them 
proud of it. The most effective and eco- 
nomical way to do this, is to beautify the 
lawn. Careful arrangement and good plants 
are essential. Our Landscape Department 
has specialized in this work, is familiar with 
Wisconsin conditions, and has probably the 
largest assortment of choice nursery stock in 
the state to select from.

WILLIAM TOOLE & SON

Watch the potato bin carefully 
for decaying tubers. Some fields 
contained a good many decaying 
tubers this autumn. 
Have you made any provision 
for the birds this winter? They 
should have grain and seeds after 
snow flies. 
Do not let the squash freeze. 
It is safer to cover raspberries 
and blackberries than to leave 
them unprotected. Good crops 
are often raised without cover- 
ing, but there is danger of the 
tops dying to the ground or kill- 
ing out entirely.

Have you made and put up 
that bird-feeding shelter for the 
winter? Do it now.
