THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



THE NEW YORK HERALD, August 10, 1913, reports — The Department u( 



Agriculture has issued a warning to consumers to break bunches of celery open and wash and scrub the 

 stalks before it is eaten. It has also warned the public against eating the leaves upon which dried Bordeaux 

 mixture clings, because if it has been sprayed with the Bordeaux mixture you may become ill." 



WHY MOT USE FUNGINE? 



You can apply it to any fruit, vegetable or flower with perfect safety. It is not poisonous and, un- 

 like Bordeaux mixture, it does not stain, but will cleanse the foliage. 



Fungine is an infallible remedy for mildew, rust and other blights. Used as a spray at one part 

 Fungine to fifty parts water.

PROF. A. L. MELANDER, of Pullman, Wash., says — The more experience 



we seem to have the less we know, and that applies to all new things and particularly to the subject of 

 spraying. . . . Sulphur-lime in particular was regarded as a general cure-all, but as tirrie goes on we are 

 beginning to lose faith in the sulphur-lime; at least. I am, and I know a great many of the fruit growers are 

 also. . . . Sometimes sulphur-lime will kill the San Jose scale in a day and in other places it does not 

 kill it. A few years ago we were sure that sulphur-lime would kill red spider eggs, and eggs of the green 

 aphis, and yet I have examined I don't know how many millions of eggs this year, and failed to find them 

 dead after being sprayed with sulphur-lime." 



WHY NOT TRY SCAUNE? 



It is an oil and sulphur composition — a scalicidu, fungicide and insecticide combined — mixing readily 

 with water; containing no sediment and can be applied through the finest spray nozzle. It will penetrate 

 all the crevices of the bark and effectively destroy the San Jose and other scale, red spider, thrips, mealy bug, 

 and all sap-sucking insects infesting trees, shrubs and hardy plants. 



Scaline can be used in the growing season as safely as in the dormant season, at a strength of one 

 to twenty parts water for San Jose and other scale; one to forty to fifty parts water for all other insects. 

 The sulphur contained in Scaline makes it an excellent preventive against many blights. It is easy to apply, 

 cleanly and effective. Scaline is a marked improvement over the old-fashioned kerosene emulsion and so- 

 called whale oil soaps, while equally as economical.

"C. W.," a contributor to the Florists' Review, July 10, 1913, writes — 



"Try Vermine for the root maggots. I have used it and find it effective against root maggots, cut worms, 

 earth worms, ants and other ground pests. It is most penetrating and telling in its eft'ects if applied when 

 the ground is tolerably moist." 



H. E. FULLERTON, Director of Long Island R. R. Experimental Station, 



writes "For the underground members of the 'Bug' family we found Vermine helped us mightily on 



l)oth those subterranean annoyers, root maggots and cut worms. We could see absolutely no trace of any- 

 thing 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." (L. I. Agronomist, July 1, 1913.) 



WE CLAIM THAT VERMINE 



is a most effective soil sterilizer and vermicide for all soil vermin and that it will protect your crops and 

 lawns from all ravages under the soil. It is applied at a strength of one part to four hundred parts water 

 by thoroughly soaking the ground, and is not injurious to vegetation. For soil sterilizing it is used at 

 the concentrated strength of one part to two hundred parts water.

The recognized standard insecticide for green- 

 house and garden spraying. It destroys green, black, 

 white fly, red spider, thrips, mealy bug, soft scale 

 and all sap-sucking insects, and is universally used 

 and endorsed by leading private and commercial 

 growers throughout the country.

12% nicotine solution for vaporizing and 

 spraying. Less concentrated than other nicotine 

 products, it is nevertheless equally effective at pro- 

 portionate strength and fully as economical. Where 

 a nicotine solution is desired, Nikotiana will meet 

 all the requirements.

 highly endorsed under other names by leading horticultural authorities in Great Britain. One pound makes 

 twenty-eight to thirty-two gallons of liquid fertilizer.
