INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 



PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. 



Spraying is an insurance against failure and depleted crops. 

 In some seasons it may seem unnecessary, but the effects will 

 inevitably become apparent the next season. It must be done 

 thoroughly to be effective, but should not be done without pre- 

 cise knowledge as to the nature of the attacking insects and 

 how they destroy. These may be divided into two classes, leaf 

 eating and sucking. Both require separate treatment. The leaf 

 eating caterpillars, potato-bugs, etc.. require a stomach poison, 

 which is sprayed on to the plant and intended to be eaten. The 

 sucking insects, plant lice, aphides, etc., require a contact poison 

 such as the Tobacco Extracts, Kerosene Emulsion, etc., strong 

 Irritants which cover the entire body and close the breathing 

 pores. 



The fungicides listed are to be used for plant diseases. The 

 cheapest and most effective way to combat these is to apply a 

 preventive spray early in the season. FYu.it trees, potatoes, 

 tomatoes, beans, etc., thus treated will thrive, where others fail.
