destroys all leaf-eating insects, of every kind, with- 
out burning or scorching the foliage, no matter how 
strong asolution is used. It is not readily washed off, 
and therefore requires fewer applications than any other insecticide—less labor, 
smaller expense, larger crops, greater profits. Used and recommended by lead- 
ing fruit-growers, truck-farmers, orchardists and shade-tree owners everywhere.
