'left The instructions here given, 
on this April date of our GAR¬ 
DEN AND PLANTING CAL¬ 
ENDAR, show how we aim to 
supply authoritative information 
(from the pen of Mr. George T. 
Powell), always on the right day. 
so that it will not be overlooked 
—and for 365 days of the year. 
THINK WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU. 
With an order for a 5-lb. bag of MAK-GItO 
ODORLESS PLANT FOOD at $L 00 or with a 
100-pound bag of EARLY-CROP ODORLESS 
FERTILIZER at $3.75, we will be glad to send 
you a copy of this unique and Artistic Calendar. 
Saturate part of a clean Blotter with ink — Let it dry thoroughly — 
Pour water on it—-Notice how the dry ink re-dissolves and runs into 
the freshly-moistened fibers of the still clean part of the blotter. This 
will suggest how, in like manner, the grains of our EARLY-CROP 
ODORLESS FERTILIZER 
(and of our MAK-GRO ODORLESS PLANT FOOD), when mixed with the 
soil, are acted upon by the rains and the soil-moisture, releasing from time to 
time from the fiber base of the compound, a quantity of immediately available 
Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash, so that plants are supplied uninterrupted¬ 
ly throughout the entire growing season, with the food required for their proper 
growth and good crop-develop¬ 
ment. 
We want to send you our De¬ 
scriptive Booklet on the subject, 
so that, being convinced of the 
value of our product, you will br 
prepared to try it out in your Gar¬ 
den and Planting Operations this 
year. For all growing things 
Among the dozen or more Book¬ 
lets by Air. George T. Powell on 
Gardening and kindred subjects, 
which we intend for extensive 
distribution, may be several you 
might want. Send for the list.

Lawn Fences That Last 
A good fence is a lasting source of satisfaction 
and a poor one a continuous source of trouble 
and expense. In selecting a fence choose one 
with a performance record back of it—one that 
will improve and not detract from the appear¬ 
ance of your grounds. 
Anchor Post Fences 
erected twenty years ago are still giving good 
service. They are built on Anchor Posts, which 
are set up without digging post holes and stand 
straight and true under all conditions. Anchor 
Post Fences are galvanized throughout to pre¬ 
vent rust. We have catalogues illustrating lawn 
fences, tennis-court and chicken-run enclosures; wrought 
iron fences and gates. Write for the one you need.
