Rustic Bird Houses are 
the best and “Crescent make” 
are the best rustic ones. 
Our designs are a result of 
much study and thought. Orig¬ 
inality is the Keynote. 
Crude imitations appear from 
time to time but the original 
“Crescent” is doing a larger 
business every year.

Spraying Results Guaranteed 
Liberal Offer No Fruit Grower Should Miss 
Here’s proof-positive of our unbounded confidence in "SCALECIDE” as the most 
effective dormant spray. We will make the following proposition to any reliable 
fruit grower; 
Divide .vour orchard in half, no matter how largo or how small. Spray one-half with 
“SCALEl’IDE” and the other with Lime-Sulfur, for three years, everj'tliing else being 
equal. If. at the end of that time, three disinterested fruit growers say that the part 
sprayed with "SCALECIDE’' is not in every way better than that sprayed with Lime- 
Sulfur, we will return the money you paid us for the "SCALECIDE." Could anything 
he fairer? Write today for full particulars.
