A still better 



BTPttX 



Pyrox has been known for years as the handiest and most 

 efficient spray material made. And this year, due to advanced 

 manufacturing methods, Pyrox is even better than ever. Smoother; 

 always soft and plastic; always ready to use. No fuss, muss, or 

 guesswork. Simply dip this creamy-smooth paste out of the jar 

 or drum, add water, stir — and you have a perfect mixture that 

 sprays, mist-like, through finest nozzles. And Pyrox is economical: 

 handy to use, goes far, sticks like paint, and does three things at 

 once: kills bugs, prevents blights and rots, and improves foliage. 

 Ideal for the home gardener and truck farmer. Use Pyrox es- 

 pecially for potatoes, other vegetables, small fruits and rose 

 bushes. One pound makes 4 to 5 gallons of spray; 11 pounds will 

 sprav an acre of potatoes once. 1-Ib. jar 50 cts., 5-Ib. drum $1.75, 

 10-lb. drum $3.00, 25-lb. drum $6.25, 50-lb. pail $10.75, 100-Ib.

MD SEMESAN 



The NEW mercuric disinfectant 



Du Pont Semesan is the first seed, plant and soil disinfectant that can be applied in either 



dust or liquid form. Extensive seed tests show that Semesan will successfully prevent or con- 



trol the majority of externally and many internally-borne diseases of seeds without in the least impairing, 

 their vitality. It is also effective in curing a number of common diseases that attack plants and infest the soil. 



Controls seed diseases, quickens germination, invigorates seedling growth, 

 produces sturdier plants, increases crop yields 



"Brown Patch:" Semesan prevents and cures "Brown 

 Patch," a disease of grasses that destroys the turf of golf 

 greens, grass tennis courts, parks and estates. 



"Damping-Off :" Seedlings grown from Semesan-treated 

 seeds are more resistant to the costly "damping od" fungi 

 which so severely attack both seedlings and cuttings.
