HORSFORD’S 
HARDY PLANTS 
For Cold Weather 
and 
FLOWER SEEDS thalGrow 
Try a few plants and seeds from Vermont, 
if you want something hardy. Do your 
shrubs and trees kill back in cold win¬ 
ters? Send up for a few of ours and see 
how they will stand the cold. We can 
save you money every time, not only in 
the price but in the quality of stock, and 
we know how to pack them so they reach 
you alive and fresh. Our plants for the 
most part are field grown, and stand 
the change of soil and climate better 
than potted stock. Send for catalogue.

TROKUM 
FOR 
Caterpillars 
m 
iafv.,... 
• 
Strokum is an en¬ 
tirely harmless, 
finely shredded, 
snuff brown prep¬ 
aration incorpor¬ 
ated with a vege¬ 
table extract. Ab¬ 
solutely effectual. 
It keeps them from crawling up 
the trunk. 
Bind it around your trees this 
month and save the first tender 
leaves from being riddled. Every 
caterpillar you keep down in the 
early spring means hundreds pre¬ 
vented later on. Easy to apply. 
Cannot injure your trees. When 
removed in fall, comes off clean- 
no unsightly remnants left. It is 
by far the most effectual banding 
substance known. One banding 
lasts entire season. Send at once 
for Booklet. 
Special Offer— Mail us S2.00 
and we will send you, express paid, 
enough Strokum to band ten trees, 
averaging 1 foot in diameter. West 
of Mississippi, 50c. extra.
