MELROSINE 



Many exasperated rose-lovers, seeing the best blooms of their pet roses destroyed 

 by this boiler-plate bug have wished death to him and all his family. When sprayed 

 with Melrosine he dies. This definite specific for the Rose-Bug is the outcome of many 

 years of patient investigation by a professional gardener. Keeps indefinitely. It should 

 be on hand in every garden as insurance against the ravages of the Rose-Bug. A small 

 DEATH TO sum per P 1ant expended for Melrosine will protect them against this pest, and will 

 also Will -niuor insects.

 filler, and in this form you apply plant-food exactly when and 

 where and as needed.

 until late fall outdoors, during the winter for pot plants, hot- 

 house benches, etc. They are as fine for evergreens and other 

 trees as for all garden and potted plants.
