Your Next Garden 
Lotol has been invent¬ 
ed, perfected, and _ is 
ready for service. 
Lotol is a new contact in¬ 
secticide in jelly form. It 
comes in a collapsible tube 
just like tooth paste. This 
takes all the fuss and muss 
out of making spray solu¬ 
tions. A teaspoonful, quick¬ 
ly and easily dissolved in 
either hot or cold water pro¬ 
vide a gallon of contact 
spray insecticide in a jiffy. 
Lotol will rid plant life of 
the lice that persistently de¬ 
prive the gardener of the full 
benefit of his efforts. 
More facts in the future. 
Ask your dealer for LOTOL. 
In order to acquaint House 
& Garden Readers quickly 
with LOTOL, we will, 
throughout June, supply a 
regulation 35c size tube, (suf¬ 
ficient to make 
six gallons of 
spray) for 10c.

I DEAL Power Mowers do more than 
merely cut the grass. In the same 
operation they trim borders closely, roll 
the lawn to velvety smoothness and great¬ 
ly retard the ravages of worms and other 
lawn pests. All this is done at a small 
fraction of the cost when done by hand. 
An ordinary laborer can be trusted with 
the simple, sturdy Ideal mechanism. He 
will do the work of from three to five 
men with hand mowers and rollers. 
Interesting information on lawn 
care will be sent upon request.

O UR aristocrats of spring 
flowers—the PEONY and 
the IRIS—have been for a third 
of a century under the unceasing, 
loving and specialized care of the 
Petersons, father and son. Peterson s 
Peonies and Iris are in a class by them, 
selves—strong, hardy and vigorous. 
Noted for their brilliant hue, coloring 
and fragrance. Where intelligent _ se¬ 
lections are made a gorgeous., artistic 
effect is produced by either Iris or 
Peonies. 
PETERSON’S 
Master Lists of Peonies 
and Iris 
will assist you in the selection of these 
remarkable flowers, classifying as they 
do colors, seasonable blooming periods 
and fully describing each kind and va¬ 
riety. We effer in addition to the va¬ 
rieties awarded the highest ballot seme 
as yet not generally known. 
Peterson’s Unique Guarantee states 
plainly “We will replace with three any 
plant blooming not true to description.” 
As the commonly known 5 foot library 
contains representative gems of all that 
is best of the world’s literature, so the 
Peterson’s Master Lists embrace only 
the representative gems of the best 
peonies and iris known. 
A Long Step Forward 
This year we removed the only re¬ 
maining uncertainty by definitely spe¬ 
cifying actual number of eyes each size 
of plant must have. This removes the 
guess and adds a new and certain 
feature to our make-good methods of 
doing business. We now give you five 
different sizes of Peony roots to choose 
from and specify the minimum number 
of eyes each size must have. You know 
in advance just what you are getting. 
Iris shipped after July 1. Peonies after 
September 1. Orders for one and two 
eye I’ecny divisions must he received 
before October 1. 
Peterson’s Master Lists cf both 
Peonies and Iris are a part of the 
Peterson hook in broadside form, mak¬ 
ing it easy to select intelligently. It is 
conveniently classified and gives the 
latest official rulings of the Peony and 
Iris Societies. 
Even though you know the exact varie¬ 
ties you want, our unique guarantee of 
14 years assures you of getting them.
