PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK— INSECTICIDES. 



REMEDIES FOR INSECTS AND FUNGUS ^?¥JAS^^^r 



Insects that Suck the Juices from Plants, Foliage, etc., such as lice, green, black and white aphis or fly, mealy bug, red 

 spider and scale, thrust their proboscis into the leaf or stem, and are not affected by stomach poisons; so they must be des- 

 troyed by contact insecticides. Those in powder form kill by closing the breathing pores in the insect's skin; or in fluid 

 form by being absorbed through these pores. The best contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Slug 

 Shot and Tobacco Dust. The best in fluid form are Aphine, Black Leaf 40, Fish (Whale) Oil Soap, Nicoteen (Tobacco 

 Extract), Kerosene Miscible Oil and Lemon Oil. 



Insects that Eat Plants, Foliage, Vegetables, Fruits Flowers, etc., whether bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slugs, are 

 more quickly and effectually destroyed with a poisonous stomachic insecticide such as Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green or 

 Hellebore. These if applied according to directions are so diluted as to be harmless to vegetation and to animal life. Less 

 poisonous stomachic and contact insecticide are Bug Death, Kerosene Emtilsion, Slug Shot, etc.
