Dreer’s 
Garden Book 
for 1924 
is much more than a mere catalogue, It is 
really the most comprehensive guide to 
better gardens of all kinds. Experienced 
gardeners have helped us make it truly 
practical—the kind of book you’ll be loath 
to let go, until you get the next edition. 
Freely illustrated with hundreds of pic¬ 
tures (some in natural colors), it is an in¬ 
dex to all that is good in Seeds, Bulbs and 
Plants. It features the great Dreer special¬ 
ties of Roses, Dahlias, Hardy Perennials, 
etc. 
The 1924 Edition of this distinctly Worth-while Garden 
Book, will be mailed early in January to all customers 
of record. If not on our books. We shall be delighted to 
receive your application right now. Write to-day — 
*‘lest you forget”—and mention this publication.

in color—all devoted to the culture of the Queen of 
Flowers. Book attractively bound in dark blue cloth, 
lettered in gold. 
Every aspect of rose growing discussed authori¬ 
tatively and entertainingly by one whose years of 
experience enable him to know just what information

amateur grower. 
Dr. Edmund M. Mills. President, Syracuse Rose Society 
wrote on May 5th, “I have received and read the new 
edition, ‘How to Grow Roses.’ If I could put only one 
rose book in the hands of a Rose Amateur, it would be 
‘How to Grow Roses.* It is practical and at the same 
time poetical. I have a large rose library but it is the 
best illustration of ‘multuin in parvo’ that I have.” 
Pleasurable winter reading and an excellent addition 
to your library. Send check, cash or money order t

The Waite Dahlias 
For 1924 I offer a complete list of the sensational Waite Dahlias, undoubtedly the finest 
Dahlias yet originated. They have been prize winners wherever shown for the past three 
years. These Dahlias were sweepstakes winners at the American Dahlia Society Show, New 
York, Newark, Philadelphia, and Red Bank this past season. Among the varieties that created 
such favorable comment are: 
Jersey’s Beauty—Jersey’s Gem—Jersey’s Jewel 
Jersey’s Radiant—Jersey’s King—Francis Lobdell 
1924 Dahlia List 
is now ready and will tell you more about the wonderful Waite Dahlias, with price list and de¬ 
scriptions of other Eastern introductions as well as those from California. If you want the 
“last word” in Dahlias, you will want a collection of the Waite Dahlias. 
KEMP’S WONDER GLADS 
For 25 years I have been working for the 
improvement of the Gladiolus; during that 
time I have put out a number of fine va¬ 
rieties that have become popular with grow¬ 
ers throughout the world, such as my famous 
Pink Wonder, White Wonder, Albania, Early 
Snowflake, and others of very superior 
quality. 
At the 1923 Boston Glad Show, eleven 
of my seedlings were awarded special men¬ 
tion. Pink Wonder and Early Snowflake re¬ 
ceived the First and Second awards in the 
class for the largest flowered varieties in the 
show. My new varieties for 1924, are Gems 
of the first water. “Ruffolace” is of an en¬ 
tirely new type, and is without question the 
most wonderful white, and withal the most 
beautiful ever offered. “Juniata” has been 
pronounced by experts to be the most 
beautiful, and the most daintily col¬ 
ored variety in existence. “Eldora” 
is without a rival in its color sec¬ 
tion, and is a variety with a great 
future.

Why Gamble in Your Garden? 
Tlie nation’s annual loss due to insects amounts to about i-| 
billion dollars. No small percentage of this is due to the insid¬ 
ious Aphis or Plant Louse, Scores of kinds breed bdlions of 
descendants each season—at your expense. Do not gamble with 
Aphis. Take them seriously from the start by spraying with

LOTOL 
The Complete Concentrated Contact 
Insecticide in Jelly Form 
Lotol is the ideal remedy for Aphis and other 
sap-sucking insects. Comes in collapsible tubes 
(like tooth paste) and dissolves easily 
in hot or cold water. One teaspoonful 
makes a gallon of complete spray—no 
addition of soap required, “No Fuss 
—No Muss.” 
Look for the Lotol Carton on 
Your Dealer’s Counter 
35c is the price of an ounce tube of 
LOTOL, sufficient to make 6 gallons 
of complete spray solution. If un¬ 
obtainable from your dealer, we will 
send it postpaid on receipt of 45c.
