GARDEN TOOLS 


Garden tools (need we tell you?) 
are scarce...and growing scarcer. 
This isn’t the time for “beating our 
swords into plowshares.” Steel is 
now needed for sterner purposes 
than gardening. 
We've done our best to gather an 
adequate supply of tools for your 
gardening...and we will be able 
to take care of most of your needs. 
But we can’t promise complete as- 
sortments right through the year. 
So we can only suggest that you 
check up on your tool needs early 
...and act accordingly. 
SPRAYERS and DUSTERS 
We offer a complete service in this important department—not only 
sprayers, but also plenty of helpful information about their use. 
Light Weight Hand Sprayers 
Heavy Duty Dusters 
Garden Dusters 
WARNING! The manufacture of sprayers has been greatly cur- 
tailed, because the materials used in sprayers are now needed for 
more direct war use. : 
Many of the chemicals used in fertilizers are now needed for 
making munitions—and for other war purposes. As a result some 
chemical plant foods are now scarce—or totally unavailable. 
The government recognizes the vital importance of garden fer- 
tilizers—and we anticipate that it will continue to keep sufficient 
supplies available to take care. of the na- 
tion’s wartime gardening needs. However, 
Compressed Air Tank Sprayers 
Wheelbarrow Type Sprayers 
Bucket or Barrel Spray Pumps 
it is difficult for us to specify, in advance, 
any exact list of the fertilizers which we 
will be permitted to distribute. 
ASK US ABOUT IT! 
We suggest that you consult us whenever 
you need plant foods. We will then take 
care of your needs in accordance with cur- 
rent regulations—and with our usual care 
and regard for the success of your garden. 
yIGTORY 
GARDEN We still have on hand a good assortment of sprayers and dusters, 
made before the recent restrictions were imposed. So, for the pres- 
ent, we can still take care of your needs. 
FERTILIZER 
However, in view of the increasing scarcity of these vital garden ON 
tools, we suggest that you check your spraying needs early ths 
year—and that you consult with us soon!
