The practical and popular little 
hand book, “Spraying for Profit,” by 
Howard Evarts Weed, the Chicago 
landscape architect, has just been is- 
sued in its fourteenth revised edition. 
Four years of progress have made 
necessary certain changes in the body 
of the work. It has been enlarged 
and revised and appears in greatly 
improved typographical form. Certain 
parts have been rewritten in order to 
bring the book absolutely up-to-date. 
Some new illustrations have been ad- 
ded. and a spray calendar introduced. 
Probably no book on a horticultural 
subject has had a wider sale or been 
more favorably received than this use- 
ful little tabloid compendium of spray- 
ing. It sells for twenty cents and may 
be ordered from Park and Cemetery.

Strokum Stops 
Third Crop of Caterpillar’s 
Bind it around your trees at 
once. Do not think because sum- 
mer is nearly over that the cater- 
pillars are. The August crop is 
one of the worst, and not only in- 
jures the trees, but spins the 
cocoon for next year’s destruction. 
Killing them this year means 
thousands less next year. 
Strokum is easily put on, does 
not harm the trees; is not un- 
sightly, and is easily removed at 
the end of season. 
Send $3.00 at once for a sample 
package of fifteen pounds, w'hich 
I is enough to bind fifteen trees, three feet around. Express paid 
East of the Mississippi; 50c extra West of it.
