ltd Steele NOUR GARDEN 
Ever since the first garden was planted, the fight between 
gardeners and insects has gone merrily along. 
But now that fight is growing easier year by year. Just 
reasonably good strategy is all the gardener needs to win. 
To make the job even easier, we present a highly valuable 
anti-bug weapon .. . a portrait gallery of the common 
garden enemies. 
These unique pictures will help you identify the pests in 
your own garden, and once you know exactly which insect 
you are fighting, the job is easy. There’s a proper insec- 
ticide for every one of them. 
That’s where our pictures are so extremely useful, When 
you have these life-like portraits before you, identification 
is easier and more certain than ever, 
Insects are spread over the season and in different stages 
of life from the egg, the larva to the bug itself. Their 
methods of attack vary in two ways, either chewers or 
suckers. The wide variety of harmful insects in their 
varied stages of life require in some cases vastly different 
chemicals to meet the immediate requirements. 
To link up each bug with the insecticide that will handle 
him, just ask us. We keep very close watch on all new 
developments. We know exactly which of the new formulas 
have proved themselves . . . and what they can do. This 
practical knowledge is always at your service at our store.
