Just the same. He is the best travel
ing salesman known, carries grip
IN each of his six legs, and trunk
in his head. His line of samples is
extensive and will last from time to
sternity. He is more of a nursery
man and tree agent than anything
else, and only one whose seeds and
cuttings hear blossoms and fruit
equal to the pictures in the catalogue.
IN fact they bloom. never fading;-on

GLIDING with this warning;
"A ny in the house is as dangerous
as a rattlesnake, as filthy as a louise,
as disgraceful as bedbug. The time
will come when any modern clearly

when every householder upon whose

will be fined heavily and sent to jail.
The fly is the lite al Eye OF the Lord,
because he is in every place behold

evil, for he loves to lay eggs in it.
You can't hide dirt from fly. He is
also the most intimate and domestic
animal we breed and keep. An ounce
of cleanness is worth ton of fly
