‘Ge Gh, ascinating Praying Hants 
A Garden Dinosaur Who Destroys the Bugs 
That Would Eat Your Flowers 
In spite of its fierce appearance and bloodthirsty habits the Praying Mantis is harmless to 
man. In fact, its insatiable appetite for beetles and the thousands and one pests a garden 
is heir to make it a valued friend to the farmer and gardener. The insect also makes an 
engaging pet. It will cling to a house plant or a curtain for hours at a time without moving 
more than a few inches. By feeding tnem bits of hamburger or corned beef on the end of a 
toothpick you can keep them alive inside for weeks. But they thrive better on a diet of 
insects found outdoors: anywhere in the garden. The Praying Mantis stands zero temperatures 
without injury. It has spread along the New England Coast and has established itself in parts 
of Illinois as well as around Rochester, New York. 
Scientists who have studied it for years believe it can be introduced anywhere south of the 
Great Lakes, including southern Michigan. Statistics compiled by Dr. Henry Fox, formerly of 
the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, reveal that the number of young Mantis coming from a 
single egg case run from 125 to 350. We furnish the egg cases attached to a small 8-ineh 
stick, which you can tie on to any shrub outdoors. 

Egg cases are mailed from January ist until May Ist. 
Order at once, please! $1.50 each. Mailed free in strong carton. 
For complete and detailed information about the Praying Mantis read Grassroot Jungles, 
price $3.75.

INSECTICIDES and FUNGICIDES 
ANTKILLER OR BAIT 
LETHELIN JELLY 
For quick, permanent relief from Ants, 
Roaches, Silverfish. A clean, odorless ant 
bait, packed in handy tubes for your con- 
venience. It does not melt or run at ordi- 
nary temperatures. The 3-ounce tube, 85c; 
8 ozs., $1.75. 
HOW IT WORKS 
Ants’ taste is so keen, they quickly de- 
tect usual poisons and stop feeding before 
the colony is destroyed. The slow-acting 
toxic ingredient in Lethelin Jelly is taste- 
less, but combining it with attractive ele- 
ments makes them prefer it to their favor- 
ite foods. They eat it greedily and live 
long enough to carry it to their nest to 
feed the queen and young, wiping out the 
whole colony.
