An Attractive Home Means 
Contentment 
Keep the children at home by making 
them proud of it. The most effective 
and economical way to do this, is to 
beautify the lawn. Careful arrange- 
ment and good plants are essential. Our 
Landscape Department has specialized 
in this work, is familiar with Wiscon- 
sin conditions, and has probably the 
largest assortment of choice nursery 
stock in the state to select from.

The Illinois orchards are planted 
much farther apart — 30 to 40 feet 
— than here in Wisconsin, and seem 
to be longer lived. 
In spite of the fact that they can 
raise the domesticas it seemed to 
lie the general opinion that the 
Wyant and Terry were better 
market plums as well as the Sur- 
yirise and some others. 
An investigation of the apple 
scab in Illinois leads to the conclu- 
sion that the destruction of the 
leaves is not feasible hut that its 
prevention is by spraying, prefer- 
ably with the lime sulphur solution.

WILLIAM TOOLE & SON 
(Garry-nee-Dule) BARABOO, WIS. 
Steps have been taken to secure 
the passage of legislation, whereby 
the owners of all Illinois orchard ; 
shall be obliged to spray them, and 
to nse other recognized means of 
preventing or restricting insect 
pests and plant diseases. If done 
this promises to have a far reach- 
ing effect upon Illinois Horticul- 
ture.
