Insects and Blights" Helps Keep Gardens Healthy 



For thirty-eight consecutive years our modest guide to better gardens 

 has helped planters to destroy or prevent insects and diseases injurious 

 to plants. Nearly half a century of intensive study has helped us to 

 compound reliable remedies for leaf-chewing insects as well as others 



for more subtle plant enemies. Blight and fungus diseases are more 

 deadly than creeping pests, and, in fighting the diseases that attack 

 vegetable tissue proper or pests that suck plants' life blood, call to 

 your aid the following — ■ 



THRIP JUICE

 quickly and effectively de- 

 stroys Aphis, Mealy Bug, 

 White Fly and other pests thriv- 

 ing on plant juice. Equally

 plants.

 against Rust, Leaf Spot and 

 Blight, attacking Grapes, Roses, 

 Tomatoes and Carnations. It is 

 equally useful to fight Blight and 

 Anthracnose on Beans, Pears and

 dery mildew on Cucumbers,
