RID THE GARDEN OF INSECT PESTS NOW 
When the green things appear, tender plants and buds, 
you’ll need the song birds. They are the destroyers of the 
insect pests. That is why you see more Dodson Bird 
Houses each year, why they are an important invest, 
ment. These little scientific houses attract the birds 
season after season and help multiply these cheerful 
workers. £ Your trees, for example, need the woodpeckers. 
Their chisel bills and sharp tongues bore deep into the bark where insects 
lurk. You could not see these insects till the tree was dying! The early 
robin hunts Marelvflies! X Each Dodson Bird House attracts some helpful 
bird. Order now from Kankakee. Mr. Dodson will gladly advise you. 
Save the garden, the trees and the shrubs!

| The AZALEAS of OLD 
JAPAN for your Garden! 
The spirit of Old Japan still lives in its Gardens. And the key¬ 
note of these charmingly exotic spots—breathing the fascinat¬ 
ing mysteries of the ancient East—is the bright, striking, yet 
delicately hued AZALEA. 
We cannot all live in the colorful Orient. There is little of the 
exotic in the lines of most of us. But you can, however, 
brighten the gray monotone of native surroundings, by adding 
to YOUR GARDEN the vivid touch of oriental splendor—the 
picturesque charm and sentimental atmosphere of Old Japan 
| itself—as brought to life in our 
AZALEAS of OLD JAPAN 
Large, bushy, shapely plants that bloom in late May and whose pro¬ 
fuse blossoms are an almost indescribably delicate hue of flaming 
j pinkish red!
