good strategy is all the gardener needs

So—with this new weapon at hand, let's 
work together. You identify ‘em! We'll 
prescribe for ‘em! And from then on, 
Mr. Bug will have a pretty bad time of it. 
For insecticides 
SEE THE SEEDSMAN! 
You can buy insecticides in many 
types of stores. 
But there’s only one type of store 
where the necessary KNOW-HOW 
goes along with the merchandise. Sow Bug 1/2" Mealy Bug — 3/16” Gladiolus Thrip— 1/16” 
A good seedsman isn’t only a mer- 

chant. He’s a garden doctor, always 
on the job to help you make your 
home more beautiful, more fruitful. 
He KNOWS! 
Therefore, plain common sense says, 
“FOR INSECTICIDES 
SEE THE SEEDSMAN!”
