Buc DeatH. We give thisinsecticide our fullest endorse- 
ment. It has now been on the market seven years, 
and the sale is rapidly increasing. It is a non-poison- 
ous powder, and can be applied dry just as it came 
from the package, or it can be mixed with water and 
sprayed on vines with any of the sprayers on the 
market, 122 lbs. to 80 gallons water mixed thor- 
oughly. It is death to the potato, squash, and cucum- 
ber bugs, currant and tomatc worms, and many other 
plant-eating pests. As Bug Death contains no arsenic 
it will not burn or blight the vine, thus giving the 
potato a better chance to mature, which means a 
more starchy potato, and one less liable to rot, and the 
extra yield of marketable potatoes will more than pay 
the entire expense. Use freely on all house plants.

let it settle over the plants, or put one pound to a pail
