Garden Helps You Need 
Ask any ten garden-minded folks what 
the best things are to use in the gar¬ 
den, and they will each have a differ¬ 
ent answer. And naturally so, because 
there are so many good things on the 
market. 
There are, however, a certain few 
which we for one reason or another 
have found particularly efficient and 
practical. Here they are. So let us 
help you take advantage of the experi-

Electricity Eliminates Hard Work. 
HOW—THE HEDGSHEAR WORKS 
A powerful Universal type, air-cooled, electric 
motor operates a continuous chain on which are 
connected at regular intervals, special cutting 
teeth. These teeth passing at high speed over 
another set of stationary cutting teeth make more 
than 10,000 sure, sharp cuts a minute. 
Electricity does the work; the only strength 
necessary is that required to hold the HEDG¬ 
SHEAR, which weighs less than 6 lbs. and the 
weight is perfectly balanced under the handle. 
FAST—EASY—SAFE 
10,000 sharp cuts a minute across a surface 
14/z inches wide, make it easy to trim in one- 
tenth the time required with hand shears. No 
leaf so tender, nor branch so tough that the 
HEDGSHEAR won’t cut it quickly and surely. 
It cuts grass along walks, around shrubbery and 
flower beds at the same high speed. Use it 
wherever you are now using hand shears in your 
garden work. 
On the hedge you can trim tops or sides— 
square or curved effects are easy. It is just like 
trimming with a magic knife. All weight bal¬ 
anced under handle—no vibration to tire the arm 
or to wear out bearings. 
Automatic switch located on the cord fits 
comfortably in the palm of the hand. Both 
hands occupied when motor is running, makes 
operation perfectly safe. 
A Quality Tool at Only 
$29.50 
Fully Guaranteed. 
Price includes 10 feet best quality rubber-cov¬ 
ered cord. For extra 100-foot lengths 16-gauge 
heavy rubber-covered extension cord with non- 
breakable rubber connections—#3.75 each. 
A Tool We are Enthusiastic About. 
This inexpensive attachment—the Insect-O- 
Gun— which is highly endorsed by leading in¬ 
secticide manufacturers, entirely eliminates hand 
pumping and heavy unwieldy apparatus. At¬ 
tached to your garden hose, the Insect-O-Gun 
ejects a penetrating wide-angle “fan” spray with 
tremendous velocity, reaching every insect in its 
path with telling results. 
The Insect-O-Gun is equipped with a standard 
pint mason jar and can be used with any insecti¬ 
cide requiring water solution. No adjustments 
are necessary to secure the correct spraying pro¬ 
portion, and there are no moving parts except 
the handy trigger. When full, the 1-pint mason 
jar holds sufficient insecticide to completely treat 
the average garden. 
The Insect-O-Gun is strongly built of heavy, 
durable, non-rusting die metal and will last a 
lifetime. Any standard pint mason jar can be 
used with the unit. It is boxed complete, and full 
instructions, ready to attach to your garden hose 
for instant use. #3.75 complete. 
Several of these “Guns” have been in use by 
Wayside Gardens for two years. We found them 
entirely satisfactory as well as great labor savers. 
We advise you use them in combination with 
several mason jars containing the various sprays. 
Total length 12 inches, point and stem 
8 inches long. Label V /2 inches long 
1 inch wide, which is protected with 
a metal cover keeping out rain and 
weather. Entirely rust-proof. Always 
there yet unobtrusive, will last a life¬ 
time. 
Per 12, #2.00; per 100, #15.00. 
Imported Garden Peat 
Imported Granulated Peat is used with excellent results in 
the making of garden soils, especially those soils that are very 
heavy, or very dry. Peat stimulates the development of roots of all 
plants and in the summer it is an excellent moisture retainer, as it 
absorbs more than eight times its own weight in water. For mulch¬ 
ing perennial beds it is ideal. A slight covering of 2 inches thrown 
over the bed will prevent all freezing and heaving. As a mulch for 
strawberries, peat may be dug in and should not be removed. 
It acts, therefore, in a double capacity. If one wishes to plant such 
shrubs as Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Azaleas, Blueberries or Daphne 
(all these shrubs and plants like an acid soil), we can safely guar¬ 
antee that soil prepared with 50 per cent Peat and 50 per cent top 
soil will grow any of these plants mentioned to perfection. 
It is also an excellent ground cover under evergreens, Rhodo¬ 
dendrons and Azaleas, keeping the soil moist and cool during the 
hot summer, giving an exceptionally tidy appearance under these 
shrubs, as they should never be cultivated. 
We offer bags of 20 to 25 lbs. for #2.00 each. One such bag 
will cover about 24 square feet 1 inch deep. Shipped from Mentor, 
Ohio, only. 
Unbroken bales of Peat are shipped direct from the steamship 
dock in New York City; Mentor, Ohio; or Clarksville, Tenn. Less 
than 10 bales, #3.50 per bale; 10 bales up, #3.25 per bale. Carloads, 
180-200 bales, #3.10 per bale, f. o. b. point of shipment. Full bales 
contain about 20 bushels, sufficient to cover 240 square feet 1 inch 
deep.
