Cleanliness—the first 
and greatest law! 
W HEN bugs attack your garden they not only 
weaken the plants but invite and spread 
diseases. Here then are three distinct reasons why 
you should fight bugs to a finish. Melrosine kills 
every bug it touches—and it does more! 
Melrosine Keeps Your Garden 
Clean and Thrifty 
The peculiar cleansing qualities of 
Melrosine act in the garden as a dis¬ 
infectant does in the household and 
sick room. Plants breathe through 
their foliage and smother if not kept 
clean and healthy. To do this is an 
incidental yet highly important func¬ 
tion of Melrosine. 
Melrosine is sold by most horticul¬ 
tural supply houses. If not obtainable 
in your neighborhood, trial can will be 
sent upon receipt of 60c. Descriptive 
folder on request.

Do You Realize How Little 
A Greenhouse Costs? 
Most folks associate a greenhouse with unwar¬ 
ranted luxury. They have no idea that a hand¬ 
some Callahan Greenhouse can be erected for as 
little as $500; some models even less expensive. 
Many Callahan owners are raising crisp lettuce 
and fragrant flowers for their own tables the 
year ’round, and are easily and profitably dis¬ 
posing of their surplus. 
Callahan Greenhouses 
are built entirely at our factory in completely finished unit 
sections. Two men in two days can completely erect a 
large house. 
Write for The Greenhouse Book—it gives 
full details , illustrations and prices. 
Now is the lime to plan your greenhouse.
