Plant Foods and Soil Conditioners 



A WONDERFUL SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY NOW MADE AVAILABLE TO 

 ALL GARDENERS IN THE JAPANESE BEETLE ZONE 



JAPIDEMIC ( Milky Disease Spore Dust) 



Nature's Control Medium Which Destroys the Beetle Grub 



Japidemic contains the living spores of the bacterium (Bacillus popilliae) which causes the milky 

 disease of Japanese Beetle grubs. After years of study of a number of disease causing organisms by 

 the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture, it was found that the 

 bacteria of the milky disease is the most effective, as it multiplies rapidly in the beetle grub and soon 

 causes its death. 



Japidemic is distributed on top of the ground or on turf in grub infested areas. It is not to-be used 

 as a spray, as it has no direct effect upon the adult beetle. One treatment under favorable conditions 

 will permit the rapid spread of the disease, and destroys the grubs within the area. The bacteria 

 remains alive for a long period, and is ready to infect and kill successive broods of Japanese beetle 

 grubs as they move about in the soil, feeding on plant roots. 



Japidemic is harmless to grass and other plant life, and has no ill effects on human beings or 

 warm blooded animals. Japidemic is a biological product requiring exacting laboratory equipment, 

 which of necessity limits the quantity in which it can be produced. One pound will treat approxi- 

 mately 4,000 square feet. 



Price per pound $5.00 postpaid.

POISON IVY KILLER 



WEEDONE is a syrupy liquid containing organic chemicals 

 which act as non-selective weed killers when mixed with water and 

 sprayed onto the foliage of various weeds. It penetrates the leaves, 

 goes down to the roots and kills the plant to the root tips. All 

 the foliage must be sprayed for a complete kill. WEEDONE con- 

 tains its own wetting agent and is'miscible with water in all 

 proportions. 



One gallon of WEEDONE is mixed with 60 gallons of water to 

 give an effective kill on poison ivy, wild cherry, honeysuckle, 

 Bermuda grass, Canada thistle, sassafras, dandelion, plantain, 

 horse nettle, ragweed and blackberry. On many of these, it is 

 possible to use a greater dilution, 1:100, and still get a good kill. 



WEEDONE Advantages: 



1. Does not sterilize the soil. 



2. Does not irritate the skin. 



3. Does not corrode metals or spray equipment. 



4. It is not explosive. 



5. It does not leave a residue on plants that is hazardous to 

 livestock or pets. 



6. It kills the plant underground as well as above ground. 

 Prices, 6 oz., $1.00; qt., $4.00; gal., $12.00. Delivered 150 miles.

HUMUS Pulverized 



Nature's Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 



Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic substance 

 consisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that have 

 been accumulating for countless ages. 



Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy to apply, and serves 

 many functions in the soil. It. loosens heavy clayey soils, and pro- 

 motes aeration. It increases the moisture absorbing power of light, 

 sandy soils and corrects the mechanical condition of medium soils. 



Pulverized Humus is absolutely odorless and is therefore very de- 

 sirable for starting seedlings indoors, also for potting bulbs and 'bther 

 house plants. 100 pounds of Hyper Humus will cover 100 square feet 

 of area to a depth of Y 3 inch.
