REMEDIES FOR INSECTS. 



The annual loss to farmers in this country from fimgus diseases and insects has been closely estimated at 55,000,000. So 

 important have these tilings become that the U. S. Dep;\rtraent of Agriculture, at Washington, has two of its most important 

 divisions investigating them. One called A'egetable Pathology, iinder Prof. Galloway ; this pertains to Plant l>iseases, 

 such as blight, rots, mildew, etc. The other is called Entomology, under Prof. Riley, which pertains to Insects— both 

 divisions carrying on investigations as to the causes and eft'ects, and making experiments and recommendations for the 

 benefit of farmers, gardeners, horticulturists and florists.

Such as Mildew, Rust, Black Rot, etc.

IMPROVED BORDEAUX MIXTURE. 



This is, as you probably know, the simplest and one of 

 the most efficient Fungicides. It will not kill Insects, and 

 really there is no use for it, as the Powell's Copperdine 

 takes its place; but popular fancy demands more or less. 

 Bordeaux Mixture, as recommended by the Stations, requires 

 <'onsiderable troublesome preparations. Our improved 

 article is simply mixed Avilh cold water, when it is ready for 

 use. 



1 pound boxes, price, SO. 15, makes 5 gallons of Spray.

CATERPILLAR LIME. 



ER]ttI.SCH'S CATERPILLAR LIME (Owl Trident 



Brand) is recommended to orchartiists and everybody inter- 

 ested in the jireservation, health and beauty of trees, as a 

 certain means of preventing the rai'ages of numerous noxious 

 insects infesting forest, fruit and shade trees. 



It is a simple, efficacious and inexpensive remedy 

 against insects that crawl up and down the trunks of 

 trees and bore into them. 



Its general use will largely assist in giving back to the 

 trees in forests, public parks, streets, squares, higliways, 

 orchards and private grounds a healthy appearance, which 

 they now often lack, owing to the ravages of various noxious 

 insects preying upon them annually, causing extensive 

 losses, and make them more beautiful and more productive 

 than before.
