Catalog lay-outs are one thing but trying to stick strictly to CLASSIFICATION listings 
with respect to lay-outs is another and “tricky” thing. So please overlook any errors in 
this direction and attribute it to ‘‘available space’’ troubles. 
GYPSUM 
For Improving Soil Conditions 
SOIL CONDITIONING FOR LITTLE 
EXPENSE 
For the last 4 years we have been “Fed up” with propaganda on fancy named 
SOIL CONDITIONERS so costly for any kind of one or two year application 
that even a very wealthy gardener could hardly afford them. 
All gardeners know what Gypsum or Land Plaster is and how it has been im- 
proving and conditioning American soil for nearly 200 years. 
(1) IT clears up water puddle spots in most cases by opening hard crusted surface 
drainage to a depth up to 10”. We all have a condition in our gardens and 
lawn at some time akin to this. 
(2) It works better when spaded or spiked into soil. 
(3) Can be applied by hand or any kind of garden spreader. 
(4) It stimulates microbial decomposition in soil which increases formation of 
organics. 
(5) A godd standard broadcast application is at rate of 2 tons per acre or say one 
pound to 10 sq. ft. or 100 lbs. to 1,000 sq. ft. or a garden of 25’ x 40’. Apply 
in early spring and also in late summer when soil is dried out. 
(6) Apply Gypsum continuously for 3 years and see real soil improvement. 
For the benefit of those who cannot get smaller sized packages of Gypsum locally 
to treat only 250-500 sq. ft. of hard crusted and poor soil, we have undertaken the 
packaging of 2 popular sizes and more as an accommodation to meet your, demand 
for what we think is THE REAL AND NATURE'S OWN SOIL CONDITIONER 
and at maybe 1/20th to 1/50th of the cost. 
PRICES—50 Ibs. @ $3.39 25 Ibs. @ $1.98 
NOTE—IMPORTANT: Since present Parcel Post rates are so outrageously high 
(example—$5.03 on only 52 lbs. to the 5th zone) and considering the value of 
the Gypsum itself is much less than 14 of such charges OUR PRICES ARE PRE- 
PAID TO THE 2nd Zone limit of 250 miles from N.Y.C. or PHILA. (as far as 
Pittsburgh, Washington, D. C., Buffalo and Boston—a big coverage indeed for 
any low priced item).

Syphon Susie 
_IRRIGATOR 
IF you want THE BEST applicator for the watering of 
plants, YOU'LL LOVE “SYPHON SUSIE” and we say that 
with a full MONEY BACK GUARANTEE and without 
reservation of any kind. 
Our mythically nick-named “Susie” 
is a successful indoor and outdoor hor- 
ticulturist of far better than average 
plant growing ability and in fact we 
think she is a green thumb expert hav- 
ing nearly 5 times as many indoor 
potted plants as you would expect to 
find in an average house. 
Picture the work of removing a 
dozen potted plants from a window 
table, setting them on the floor, then re 
watering them with a sprinkler of bulb-squeeze or spray 
nozzle type with the water running off the foliage instead 
of on the soil and all over the table or floor and then again 
replacing those pots, a tiresome, needless and real sloppy job. 
NO MORE OF THAT 
This SYPHON SUSIE with its 34 pint-capacity con- 
tainer and with two (2) feet of hose makes it possible to 
reach your plants at least a foot beyond arm stretch and 
thus eliminates the necessity of moving a single plant or 
spilling a drop of water on any surface. The flow of water 
can be directed right on the soil. 
AND HOW IS THIS DONE? It is a syphon discharge. 
When you raise the hand holding the container of water 
ABOVE the level of the other hand holding the soft, pliable 
rubber hose, THE FLOW BEGINS. 
The second the CONTAINER is lowered below the 
LEVEL OF THE HOSE—THE FLOW of WATER STOPS 
just as if you turned a faucet off that had a good tight 
washer fitting. Not a drop follows. 
SYPHON SUSIE is a beautifully attractive lithographed 
and decorated HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY that certainly 
does not have to be hidden away after use. Can be left in 
full view amongst your potted plants and even when filled 
with water, provided the end of the hose is placed inside 
of the container. Never a leak and still always ready for 
immediate use. 
ARTISTIC IN THE EXTREME. AN ORIGINAL 
NOVEL PRODUCTION of G&O. 
Specifications—4V4" dia. x 7Y2” height. Capacity over 
314 pts. All edges curled for double safety. Container seams 
compound lined. Wide handle for comfortable use. A bot- 
tom brass spout of 3/16” dia. and 34” long for hose at- 
tachment. Both inside and outside lithographed and var- 
nished to prevent rusting. 
Show SYPHON SUSIE at your garden club meetings 
and you will take orders from every member wanting the 
best in potted plant irrigation practice.
