Lawn You , ll Want 
This Summer 
As an ideal summer mulch 
for lawns, “F. & I.” — 
nature’s fertilizer and in¬ 
secticide—is the logical 
choice of lawn and garden 
experts who make careful 
comparisons. 
All summer long “F. & I.” 
will protect your grass 
from extreme heat and 
drought; while the rains 
leach out the potash, 
ammonia and phosphoric 
acid which feed the roots 
in early spring. 
“F. & I.” is both a fertil¬ 
izer and an insecticide—a 
purely vegetable product 
which rapidly disintegrates, 
adding valuable humus to 
the soil. “F. & I.” is ap¬ 
plied exactly as you would 
use an animal manure—yet 
it contains no insect pests 
or weed seeds and is free 
from objectionable odor. 
Many of America’s most 
attractive suburbanproper- 
ties and extensive country 
estates depend upon 
“F. & I.” for their beauty 
of lawn and garden.

prices and samples.

T HE vegetable garden of Mr. William 
Walbridge, at Perrysburg, Ohio, with 
its hardy border, shows the results produced 
by using a Skinner Irrigation System. 
All chances of disappointment through 
drought are completely removed, for the 
Skinner System keeps the ground soft and 
moist at all times, lengthening the season 
and producing bigger and better crops 
at a cost that is negligible when compared 
with the results secured and the losses 
prevented. 
Tell us the length and breadth of your garden, and we will 
tell you what a suitable Skinner System will cost
