 parasites aud insects which infest plants whether at the 

 roots or on the foliage, without injury to tender plants- 

 such as ferns, etc., if used as directed. Used as a WASH

 desirable on exhibition specimens.

 silky Coat and produces healthy Skin Action ; kills fleas, 

 and is excellent for washing dogs.

 ordinary household soap it is an effectual DISIN-
