TO ANNIHILATE PESTS 



No grower, howev. r skillfal, can evade the necessity of a continual warfare with insect 

 pests Wherever there is a greenhou se or a garden there green fly, black fly, white fly, 

 mealy bug, red spider, scales and w rms of all grades of destructiveness are sure to 

 swarm. Among the multitude of remedies placed upon the market in recent years 



APHINE 



stands out preeminent in efficacy. The willingness of the manufacturers to submit 

 at all times this compound to public test and demonstration of its effect upon 

 insect life and plant life has won for them in the fullest degree the confidence and 

 approbation of the profession. The growers said 



SHOW ME 



and they were shown just what Aphine would do and would not do and no claims 

 were made which could not be substantiated. Its virtues as a general insecticide 



have been repeatedly 



PROVEN 



Testimonials are being constantly received. Here are some recent ones: 



"ER.XDIC.^TES An SCAI.E AND APHIS." 



Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Cal., May 13, 1910. 

 "We have thoroughly tested out Aphine on plants 

 grown in the open and find it most effective for such 

 work as it eradicates all scale and aphis, for which I 

 can strongly recommend it. Our outside roses in Golden 

 Gate Park were badly infested with aphis. With the 

 first application of Aphine the pest was entirely de- 

 stroyed." is't'dl JOHN McLaren, Supt. 



"HITHOIT DOl'BT THE FINEST INSECTICIDE." 



"Uplands" San Mateo, Cal.. May 10. 1010. 

 "The Aphine you sold me I have used on orchard 

 trees and ormanemtal plants infested with scale, green 

 and white fly, thrip, mealy bug, etc., and found, in 

 every case, that it completely destroyed the pests in 

 question, with not the slightest harm to the sub,1ects 

 treated. It is without doubt the finest insecticide I 

 have ever used," 

 (s'gd) WILLIAM MUNRO. Supt. to C. T. Crocker, Esq. 



MEALY BIO "ENTIRELY DESTROYED." 



Hotel Royal Palni. Miami. Biscayne Bay, Fla., 

 April 26. 1910. 

 "The sample of Aphine you kindly sent me was 

 used on a lot of palms which were infested with Mealy 

 Bugs and I am glad to say It entirely destroyed them 

 without injury to plants. I shall include Aphine in 

 my next order for supplies." 



(s'gd I E. J. ANDREWS, Gardener. 



"ONE OF THE BEiST EVER SENT OFT." 



Superintendent's Oflice. Hill Crest, Purchase, N. Y., 

 May 14. 1910. 

 "Replying to your letter of March ."^ilst, I wish to 

 say that we have given your Aphine a thorough test, 

 and have come to the conclusion that it is one of the 

 best insecticides ever sent out." 



(s'gd) A. UNDERWOOD. Supt. 



"THE FIRST COMPLETE SUCCESS." 



Morristown, N. J., April 20, 1910. 

 "It gives me great satisfaction to tell you that 

 Aphine has entirely cleaned my Gardenias of Mealy 

 Bug. I iised it one part to 35 water. I have tried 

 many things with more or less success, lint tliis was 

 the first <M>niplete success. There was no iniurv to 

 buds or foliage." (s'gd) EDWARD REAGAN. 



".4N INSURANCE .\GAINST INSECTS." 



Fern-Croft Farm, Concord, N. H., May 8, 1910. 

 "Received the Aphine and gave it a good test. As 

 I wrote you before, my 'mums' were literally covered 

 with lice, but that is a thing of the past. I regard 

 Aphine practically as an insurance against insects and 

 1 shall not be wi'thout it in the future." 



(s'gd) H. D. WHITNEY, Prop. 



"APHINE PROVED TO BE THE BEST." 



Pasadena, Cal., April 11, 1910. 

 "It may be of interest to you to know that of the 

 three fluid insecticides which I have tested. Aphine 

 proved to be the best. First. It did not disfigure foli- 

 age or flower. Second, it mixed with water perfectly, 

 and last, but not least of its merits, it is less expensive 

 tlian any of the others considering the work accom- 

 plished.'' 



(s'gd) P. D. BARNHART. Editor of Pacific Garden. 



"WILL KILL EVERY ONE TH.\T IT TOUCHES." 



Boulderwood Farm, Manchester, Mass., April 20, 1910. 

 "It may interest you to know that I've used the 

 sample of Aphine as per directions and find it will kill 

 Mealy Bug, Scale, etc., everyone that it touches." 



(s'gd) JAMES SALTER, Gardener for P. Dexter. 



"Aphine has a future as wide and long as the 

 United States," says "Collier's Weekly." 



"Aphine will do all you claim for it and more," 

 says Charles H. Totty. 



"I can honestly recommend Aphine to kill green fly, 

 black fly. white fly, brown scale, white scale, Belgium 

 scale, red spider, thrips and mealy bug if the direc- 

 tions are followed carefully and the spraying or dip- 

 ping done thoroughly, and, as far as I can tell, does 

 not injure the tenderest foliage." says James Whiting, 

 foreman Dept. of Agriculture at Massachusetts Agricul- 

 tural College.
