SOON IT WILL BE 
GARDEN TIME 
Yes, soon there will be a touch of Spring fj 
in the air and then — how about the 
garden? This year, more than ever, it 
must be a war garden. The crops from 
the big farms must go to feed the boys 
‘‘over there”—the home garden must do 
its bit in a bigger way than ever before. 
It must be planted with a certainty as 
to results.

FOR BETTER GARDENS 
Pakro Seedtape will help you have a 
better garden. It is the scientific way of 
planting. The seeds are evenly and accu¬ 
rately spaced in a thin paper tape. And 
a whole row is planted at a time, result¬ 
ing in straight rows of evenly spaced 
plants. Thinning out is practically elim¬ 
inated. 
Pakro loose seeds are the same quality 
Seeds that are in the tape. A Pakro gar¬ 
den, either Pakro Seedtape or Pakro Loose 
Seeds, is a successful garden. Your dealer 
has 118 varieties of Pakro Seedtape and 
Seeds. Order your seeds today.

of any basement window or 
built into new foundations. It 
will outlast the building and in¬ 
crease its value at least $100.

the side of the building from 
coal smudge and marring. It 
is absolutely burglar proof. The 
glass door can only be unlocked 
from the inside and gives am-

FOR ONE DOLLAR 
DESIDE your Vegetable Garden plant these bulbs. They 
are cheap, effective, and increase yearly, with gay 
flowers the summer through. There is no flower more 
easily grown, nor one that blooms more readily than THE 
GLADIOLUS, and by repeated plantings, a continued 
bloom may he had all summer long. The huge spikes 
are graceful and fascinating in their great array of 
brilliant colors. If cut as the first flower opens and 
placed in water, the flowers develop for a week, even to 
the last hud. without losing their richness of color. 
GLADIOLI require no nursing, spraying or other spe¬ 
cial attention. Commence planting in April and repeat 
at 10 day intervals until the end of June, and you will 
have flowers until late autumn.
