ROOTON E 
What It Is and What It Does 
ROOTONE offers the most economical, simple, efficient 
way for the use of plant hormones, giving twice the number 
of cuttings at the same cost. 
ROOTONE contains the most powerful plant hormone 
of all, naphthalene acetic acid—diluted with other ingre- 
dients to get the best range of activity on plants. 
ROOTONE IS BEST FOR CUTTINGS 
Because — 
LOW COST—1/30 to 1/50 of a cent per cutting. 
SIMPLICITY— No skill is needed to apply ROOTONE. 
No measurements, no vials, no elaborate charts to follow, or 
clock-watching are needed. Just dip and plant. 
SPEED OF ROOTING—The time for rooting of cut' 
tings is cut by ROOTONE treatment to anywhere from one' 
half to one'tenth of the time required without treatment. 
SURENESS OF ROOTING—Cuttings that root with 
difficulty such as holly, magnolia, arbor-vitae, lilac, and dog' 
wood will respond in greatly increased percentages and in 
much shorter time. Tree cuttings, such as hickory, maple, 
and hemlock, which do not root under ordinary conditions, 
respond splendidly to ROOTONE treatment. 
QUALITY—The naphthalene acetic acid in ROOTONE 
is made by a special process that results in the highest purity 
and uniformity. This hormone keeps its full activity better 
and longer than any other growth substance. Compared with 
the indol hormones, it penetrates stem tissues three to four 
times better, resulting in better root distribution. 
ROOTING OF CUTTINGS WITH ROOTONE 
Directions: Simply dip the cuttings at the base, singly or 
in bunches into the ROOTONE powder up to an inch. 
Shake off the excess and place in the propagation bed of 
wet sand or peat moss and sand. Then follow usual propa' 
gation methods. Slow acting cuttings may be helped by 
dusting a second time or even a third time, at two' to three' 
week intervals, as the judgment of the user dictates. 
Prices: One-Dollar jar contains two fluid ounces when 
packed. In case the powder has settled it will fluff to original 
volume with a light shaking. It will treat up to 3000 cuttings. 
INSECT-O-GUN 
This inexpensive attachment—the Insect-O-Gun—which 
is highly endorsed by leading insecticide manufacturers, en- 
tirely eliminates hand pumping and heavy, unwieldy appara' 
tus. Attached to your garden hose, the 
Insect' O ' Gun ejects a penetrating 
wide-angle “fan” spray with tremen- 
dous velocity, reaching every insect in 
its path with telling results. 
The Insect'O'Gun is equipped with 
a standard pint Mason jar and can be 
used with any insecticide requiring 
water solution. No adjustments are 
necessary to secure the correct spray- 
ing proportion, and there are no mov¬ 
ing parts except the handy trigger. 
When full, the one-pint Mason jar 
holds sufficient insecticide to complete¬ 
ly treat the average garden. 
The Insect'O'Gun is strongly built of heavy, durable, 
non-rusting die metal, and will last a lifetime. Any standard 
pint Mason jar can be used with the unit. It is boxed com¬ 
plete, with full instructions, ready to 
attach to your garden hose for instant 
use. 
Several of these “Guns” have been 
in use by Wayside Gardens for three 
years. We found them entirely satis¬ 
factory as well as great labor savers. 
We advise you to use them in com¬ 
bination with several Mason jars con¬ 
taining the various sprays.
