Hammond's Slug' Shot 



A Noticeable Station on the Central New England Railroad j" 

 In Dutchess County, N. Y. 



MR. BRUNDAGE TAKES MUCH PRIDE AND PLEASURE IN THE DISPLAY. 



My Aster beds are a strip of ground along the railroad track of the Central New 

 England. For years it has been mv pleasure to have a grand show. The most trouble- 

 some annoyance which I have ha 1 is the BLACK BEETLE AND THE STRIPED BliG — 

 these pests will skin the whole b inch if we let them alone, but we don't let them alone, 

 for as soon as the plants are gro ru I just take HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT aud a bellows 



1 go over the Whole. ON A STILL DAY DUST SETTLES EVERYWHERE. Then 



when the blooms begin to open we ;- r ive them another dose, and we have the flowers. 

 This year we let tbem go and the bugs or beetles got a start and we started for them but 

 they did us damage. Now for a L'ood many years I have' known SLUG SHOT and used 

 it, and there is no use trying to raise Flowers. Fruit of Vegetables without you watch 

 them, because as sure as the sun shines you have Bugs, Lice or Beetles which you must 

 get rid of. Now on Cucumbers t te striped Bugs play havoc) You told me once to put 

 some SLUG SHOT in water and sprinkle the rows. When that is done the Cucumbers 

 grow. The Cherry trees will curl he leaves with lice; if yon can blow SLUG SHOT over 

 these ends the SLUG SHOT stick* to the sticky mess which comes where these lice are 

 and they do not spread. 



Yours respectfully, LUTHER BRUNDAGE.
