Seed Commissioner as being free of seed borne blight. 
Mexoden 
Kills and repels Mexican Bean Beetles 
Adult—twice 
actual size 
Some sections of the country are bothered with the Mexican 
Bean Beetle, which eats away the fleshy part of the foliage, 
thereby ruining the crop. Mexogen is a splendid preparation, 
scientifically compounded to kill and repel the \Mexican Bean 
Beetle. It controls the adult, larvae, and eggs. It is non-poison- 
ous to humans, animals, and birds, but is deadly in its effect on 
many other insect pests in addition to the bean beetle. The half- 
pint size contains enough concentrate to handle an average 
season’s spraying for plants grown from } Ib. to 1 Ib. of beans.
