SCALINE 



A prominent eastern nursery firm reports that one 

 application of SCALINE thoroughly cleansed its 

 Juniperus Japonica aurea of the red spider pest with- 

 out the slightest injury to the plants or ill effects 

 to the bright yellow color of the foliage. It is now 

 recommending SCALINE to its customers as a 

 specific for spraying evergreens to combat the red 

 spider and all sucking insects. 



SCALINE will destroy the aphis and thrip on your 

 fruit trees in the growing season, and the San Jose 

 and other scales in the dormant season.

VERMINE 



"C. W." a contributor to the Florists' Review, reply- 

 ing to an inquiry, says: 



"Try VERMINE for the root maggot. I have used it and 

 found It effective against root maggot, cutworms, earth-worms, 

 ants, and other ground 'pests. It is a liquid, and should be 

 applied in the proportion of one gallon of VERMINE to 320 

 gallons of water. It is most penetratine and telling in its effects 

 if applied when the ground is tolerably moist." — ^Florists' Re- 

 ■■lew. July 10, 1913.) 



H. B. Fullerton, editor of the Long Island Agrono- 

 mist, writes: 



"For the underground members of the 'Kug' family we found 

 VERMINE helped us mightily on both those subterranean an- 

 noyers, root maggot and cut-worm. We could see absolutely no 

 trace of anything but the most beneficial effects from applying it 

 to the well cultivated soil around plants, and we used it in 

 excessive quantities to study the effects." — (Z,. /. Agronomist 

 July I, 1913.)
