When the Bugs Come— 
As They Surely Will 
Enthusiasm oozes away, so that from sheer inertia 
many gardeners allow their crops to be injured or 
even ruined rather than to spray, simply because “it’s 
too much trouble!” And trouble it is, undeniably, 
to mess around with a lot of cans and pans and 
various mixing utensils. Now all these objections no 
longer count. The home gardener’s attitude towards 
spraying is being revolutionized by

LOTOL — 
The Complete Contact 
Spray in Jelly Form 
Put up in convenient, collap¬ 
sible tubes (like tooth paste) 
it is immediately available as 
a powerful contact insecticide 
simply by dissolving it in warm 
or cold water. Two or three 
inches make a quart; a tea- 
spoonful a whole gallon of the 
most effective spray solution. 
It absolutely destroys the vari¬ 
ous species of aphis or plant 
lice, and all those other sucking 
pests that, by robbing the plants 
of their life blood, despoil your 
garden crops and ruin your 
flowers. 
The Sensation of the 
TJecent International Flower Show 
Childs d\(Cw Everblooming Amaryllis 
T HE unstinted admiration and praise given to our new Everbloom¬ 
ing Amaryllis cause us to believe more strongly than ever before 
that here indeed have we a find of the first water. Introduced by 
us from the Philippines during the past few years, we have gradually 
propagated this magnificent species and are now ready to offer it in 
quantity for fall delivery. 
Two factors put this Amaryllis head and shoulders above all others: 
—one is the luminosity of its superb, glowing, salmon scarlet color. 
It not only shines, it glitters. This is the one characteristic most com¬ 
mented upon by all who see it. The other is its veritable everblooming 
habit. 
Well ripened bulbs will be available about September 15th for fall 
planting and winter bloom. We expect the demand to be far in excess 
of the supply and invite the sending of early orders at prices as follows: 
75c. each; 3 for $2.U0; 6 for $3.50; Doz. $6.50, postpaid. 
Orders will be acknowledged and bulbs shipped about September 15th.
