SOW BUGS versus SLUG SHOT 



After reading the article headed 

 "An Army ot Sow Bugs," In the 

 Review for May 10, it occurred 

 to me that the growers whose 

 stocks have been attacked by 

 Sow Bugs might be interested in 

 the remedy I used successful- 

 ly in exterminating these pests 



some time ago. I had a good crop of Sow Bugs in my 

 Carnation bouse and asked Mr. Benjamin Hammond, of 

 Beacon, N. Y., for a good exterminator. Mr. Hammond 

 recommended one of his preparations — SLUG SHOT — and told me to 

 dust it between the plants, under the benches and along the walks. I 

 did so and the results were gratifying. The bugs were cleaned out 

 in short order, and I certainly recommend SLUG SHOT to every Florist 

 who finds these bugs in his house. ALEXANDER A. LAUB, Florist.

NAIMOND'S SLUG SHOT was first tested ajainst SOW BUGS at Nyack, N. 1., in 1885, and it holds good
