|NEW HELP for your 
battle with the BUGS 
Ever since the first garden was planted, 
| the fight between gardeners and insects 
| has gone merrily along. 
But nowadays that fight is growing 
| easier, year by year. Just reasonably 
good strategy is all the gardener needs 
| to win. 
| A New Weapon 
To make the job even easier, we present 
-here a highly valuable new anti-bug 
weapon. This is our series of natural 
color portraits of the common garden 
enemies (at the right). 
For the first time in any seed catalog, 
these pests are fully pictured in their 
exact coloring, so that you can recog- 
nize them at a glance. 
To Beat Them, KNOW THEM! 
These unique pictures have just one 
purpose—to help you identify the pests 
in your own garden. 
Once you know exactly which insect 
you are fighting, the job is easy. There's 
a proper insecticide for every one of 
them. 
Thai's where our new color pictures are 
so extremely useful. When you have 
these life-like portraits before you, iden- 
tification is easier and more certain 
than ever! 
Ask Us for the Remedy! 
| To link up each bug with the insecticide 
that will handle him, JUST ASK US. 
We know, from long experience, which 
formula is best for each situation—and 
we have it on hand, ready for you. 
| 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.
