Insecticides 
52x39 Rotenone 
Rotenone is by all odds the most versatile and effective garden 
insecticide on the market. Our stock is called Hammond's Stabi- 
lized 75 Dust. It contains nothing but rotenone, rotenone by- 
products, and inert ingredients, so it is perfectly harmless to 
plants and humans, but deadly to insects. A few insects, like the 
squash bug, are immune to all insecticides except the new 
Sabacide presented on page 70. But for most garden pests this 
rotenone dust is the very best killer. 1 Ib. 55¢; 5 Ibs. $2.20 
52x40 B-B Dust 
A rotenone and sulphur compound used as dust or spray, and 
positively the most effective control for Mexican Bean Beetles. 
Many gardeners consider this combination to be the best for 
general ores or spraying. The fact that 15% of the dust is 
sulphur makes the application also useful in the control of fungoid 
diseases. There are no poisonous ingredients in this dust which 
will harm humans who eat vegetables treated with it. Used with 
an efficient duster like the one described on the previous page, a 
single bag is usually sufficient for an entire season in the average 
garden. 5 Ib. bag $1.90 
52x15 Red Arrow 
A highly concentrated solution, the principal basis being the 
powerful rotenone. This solution is the one to use if you prefer to 
spray instead of dust rotenone in your garden. During the war 
synthetics were used in its manufacture, but it is back to full 
killing power now. Nonpoisonous. One ounce makes 8 quarts of 
spray. 1 oz. bottle 35¢; 4 ozs. $1.00
