Rootone 
AS CUT 
FROM BUSH 
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—dilut¬ 
ed with other ingredients to get the best range 
of activity on plants. 
Prevents being scratched or pricked by thorns. 
It is also used for cutting and serving grapes at 
the dinner table. 
Made of rustless metal with beautifully en¬ 
graved handles, nickel-plated and highly polished. 
Has Stainless Steel cutting blades. Popular for 
gifts and prizes. $1.35 each.

covered cord. For extra 100-foot lengths 16- 
gauge heavy rubber-covered extension cord

HOW—THE HEDGESHEAR WORKS 
A powerful Universal type, air-cooled, elec¬ 
tric motor operates a continuous chain on which 
are connected at regular intervals, special cut¬ 
ting teeth. These teeth passing at high speed 
over another set of stationary cutting teeth 
make more than 10,000 sure, sharp cuts a 
minute. 
Electricity does the work; the only strength 
necessary is that required to hold the HEDGE- 
SHEAR, which weighs less than 6 pounds and 
the weight is perfectly balanced under the 
handle. 
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-watchings are needed. Just dip and plant. 
SPEED OF ROOTIN&—The time for rooting of cuttings 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 dogwood 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. 
NO WASTE—Every bit can be used! 
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 propagation methods. Slow-acting cut¬ 
tings 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. 
PRICE, $1.00 
The 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. 
FAST — EASY — SAFE 
10,000 sharp cuts a minute across a surface 
141/2 inches wide, make it easy to trim in one- 
tenth the time required with hand shears. No 
leaf so tender, nor branch so tough that the 
HEDGESHEAR won't cut it quickly and surely. 
It cuts grass along walks, around shrubbery 
and flower beds at the same high speed. Use 
it wherever you are now using hand shears in 
your garden work. 
On the hedge you can trim tops or sides— 
square or curved effects are easy. It is just 
like trimming with a magic knife. All weight 
balanced under handle—no vibration to tire 
the arm or to wear out bearings. 
Automatic switch located on the cord fits 
comfortably in the palm of the hand. Both 
hands occupied when motor is running, makes 
operation perfectly safe.

The Water Lance 
Don't let the chore of watering your shrubs spoil every summer evening 
for only one good watering a week is necessary when watered from the 
bottom with the WATER LANCE! Watering them from the top forces the 
roots to grow upward— washes the soil from the base of the shrub and 
causes the ground to become packed and hard. 
The WATER LANCE is so constructed that it will, with scarcely any effort 
on the part of the user, insert itself almost three feet below the surface of 
the ground and irrigate in the fastest possible time. 
The entire action of the WATER LANCE is hydraulic; there is nothing to 
get out of order; and it works equally well under any conditions. 
In two minutes time, one insertion of the Water Lance thoroughly irri¬ 
gates over 75,000 cubic inches of sub-surface ground. This results in a 
tremendous saving of water. Unbreakable, lasts a lifetime. 
Price, $2.00 each. 
Insect-O-Gun 
A Tool We Are Enthusiastic About 
This inexpensive attachment—the Insect-O-Gun—which is highly endorsed 
by leading insecticide manufacturers, entirely eliminates hand pumping and 
heavy unwieldy apparatus. Attached to your garden hose, the Insect-O-Gun 
ejects a penetrating wide-angle "fan" spray with tremendous 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 spraying proportion, and there are no moving 
parts except the handy trigger. When full, the 1-pint mason jar holds 
sufficient insecticide to completely treat the average garden. 
The Insect-O-Gun is 
strongly built of heavy, 
durable, non-rusting die 
metal and will last a life¬ 
time. Any standard pint 
mason jar can be used 
with the unit. It is boxed 
complete, with full in¬ 
structions, ready to at¬ 
tach to your garden hose 
for instant use. $3.75 
complete. 
Several of these 
"Guns" have been in 
use by Wayside Gar¬ 
dens for two years. 
We found them en¬ 
tirely satisfactory as 
well as great labor 
savers. We advise you 
use them in combination 
with several mason jars 
containing the various 
sprays. Insect-O-Gun—$3.75
