Strokum is a finely shredded 
preparation incorporated 
with a vegetable extract 
harmful to the caterpillars 
but absolutely harmless to 
the trees. Strokum fills in 
the chinks of bark so cater¬ 
pillars can’t crawl under it. 
They won't crawl over it. 
STROKUM 
Stops Caterpillars 
Don’t make the mistake of 
waiting until the caterpillars be¬ 
gin to crawl before you protect 
your trees. Band them with 
Strokum now. They can’t crawl 
under it— they won’t crawl over. 
Easy to apply. Is not unsightly. 
Guaranteed not to injure your 
trees. One banding lasts entire 
season. Easy to remove. Leaves 
no disfiguring evidences. Use it 
this month. Next may be too 
late. Send for booklet. 
SPECIAL OFFER 
Mail us $2.00 and we will send 
you, express paid, enough 
Strokum to band ten trees, aver¬ 
aging i foot in diameter. West 
of Mississippi, 50c extra.

and brush lightly over tire stigma, reverse 
the crosses and carefully mark and label 
each cross. After the seed has formed, 
and the outside of the pod has turned yel¬ 
low, gather them and spread out in some 
dry airy place to ripen; and when they are 
real hard, store in a cool place till sowing 
time. Do not get discouraged if you do 
not get something wonderful at first; the 
general tendency will be retrograde, hut 
watch keenly for some mark of distinctive¬ 
ness, either in color, form or time of flow¬ 
ering. Having gained the desired point of 
improvement proceed to try to fix it by 
destroying for several years all those that 
do not come up to standard. 
SWEET PEA POINTERS 
The best time for picking is the early 
morning. 
The worst time for picking is in the full 
sunshine. 
Deep cultivated soil is one of the foun¬ 
dation stones of success. 
Early sowing is another. 
Keeping all the flowers picked and not 
letting seeds form is essential. 
Don't grow too many, but grow them 
well. 
Don't be afraid of a little shade; they 
are better for it in our hottest weather. 
If you want to exhibit Henry Eckford and 
some others at their best you must shade.

The New York Suburbs Supple¬ 
ment. 
(Continued from page 315) 
New Rochelle, which is the first city 
north of the New York City Line in West¬ 
chester County, is to a large extent com¬ 
posed of residential parks, there being 
about thirty-five such communities within 
the city limits, all of them of a high class. 
New Rochelle is, strictly speaking, a resi¬ 
dential and suburban city, and a very large 
percentage of its residents are in business 
in New York City 
At Larchmont there is an attractive lit¬ 
tle business center a few blocks east of the 
station, and the center of population is still 
further east, in what is known as Larch¬ 
mont Manor, an old substantial develop¬ 
ment of very high class which lies directly 
on the shore. For a considerable distance 
along the waterfront a beautiful strip of 
country has been preserved as a park. 
Within the Manor there is what is called 
Horse Shoe Harbor, a small bay within 
which is an excellent beach, and here the 
residents have built a club-house for their 
own use. 
Mamaroneck is one of the old villages, 
its business section being far more widely 
scattered. The type of development sur¬ 
rounding Mamaroneck is more in the shape 
of large estates, although there are a few 
small developments of lots and plots. 
Some of them near the water, others some 
two or three miles inland. 
Immediately surrounding what is now 
called Rye Beach Park on the waterfront
