Spray Now — and 
HERE is one Month’s Reminder that applies 
to every month. That is: It pays to spray— 
and it costs money not to. 
Spray regularly. You may have killed al! the 
insects on your plants, but there are plenty more 
where they came from. New ones will arrive— 
from the ground or from a neighboring field—to 
take their places. Don’t wait for heavy infestation. 
Spray thoroughly. Every portion of the plant 
should be covered and every insect drenched. One aphid, 
left alive now, is capable of welcoming you a month later 
with a tremendous number of descendants. The illustra- 
tion in the upper right hand corner is illuminative. It 
looks like a lot of ink spots ona cabbage stalk—but that is 
about what aphids look like in real life and it is necessary 
to get each one in the only sure way: spray the whole plant. 
“BLACK 
is a contact insecticide that has the endorsement of au- 
thorities everywhere. It is guaranteed by the manufac- 
turers to contain 40% of nicotine by weight—the exact 
proportion needed in a safe and effective spray, and one 
that you cannot be sure of obtaining by the messy 
method of stewing out your own preparation. 
Whether you spray for "sucking" or for "chewing" inzects, it 
is imperative that you havea good pump. We have designed 
one. We did not try to see how cheap a pump we could

Spray knowingly. Before you go ahead, it is well 
to know what sort of insects you are trying to des- 
troy. Ifyou spray with the wrong class of insecti- 
cide, the insects, instead of being killed them- 
selves, will continue to have a perfectly delightful 
time killing your plants. Your efforts will have 
been worse than useless. 
Insects destructive to plant life are of two distinct types 
Those, like beetles and caterpillars, that injure 
the plants by chewing; and those, like Aphids or plant lice, 
that injure the plants by sucking. The former may be 
controlled by spraying the foliage with a stomach poison. 
The latter, since they insert their slender beaks into the 
interior of the stem or leaf and so avoid the poison, can 
be destroyed only by a preparation that kills when it 
comes into contact with their bodies.

Yet you will find the price remarkably low. It is a simple 
affair, as you can see from the illustration—but one of the 
reasons it is so good is because itisso simple. We believe 
you will find that it will stand up under the most exacting 
use. With it you may do effective work not only in the 
application of “Black Leaf 40,” but also with any kind of 
insecticide or fungicide in the garden, or with disinfec- 
tants about the barn, poultry houses and other buildings.
