Hundreds of songs 
And poems and stories 
Have been written about 
The little home you left 
behind you 
And all of them picture 
that home 
With a trim little lawn 
Green and beautiful 
And free from weeds 
You may not realize it 
But that trim little lawn 
Is one of the reasons 
Why that little home 
Means what it does 
SCOTT’S Lawn Seed, carefully selected and 
thoroughly cleaned, will produce a lawn 
any home can be proud of.

Save the Trees- 
Pruning Made 
Easy 
There is no task to tree trimming 
when you use a Bartlett Jointed 
Compound Lever Pruner—because it 
is jointed. The Bartlett comes in 
four foot sections that can be easily 
and quickly locked together to give 
you a trimmer of the desired 
length. With a Bartlett Jointed 
Trimmer you can reach high limbs 
without using a ladder and you can 
always snip the low branches from 
the proper angle. 
The cutting end has a COM¬ 
POUND LEVER that will cut with 
ease branches up to 1% inches in 
diameter. The blades are made of 
crucible tool steel and only the best 
materials are used throughout. 
Expert horticulturists everywhere 
endorse the Bartlett Tree Trimmer. 
We also furnish this tree trim¬ 
mer with one piece pole if desired, 
as well as making a complete line 
of Hand Pruners, Lopping Shears, 
Pruning Saws and other fine cut¬ 
ting tools.
