Dll Pont Settiesan Semesan is one of the most remarkable chemicals developed by modern science. It will kill or control many 



1 of the diseases borne on the surfaces and some interiors of even the finest of selected seeds and yet at the 



same time in no way injure the delicate germ life of the seeds treated. In fact, Semesan stimulates seeds to a growth, vigor, and 

 fruition that far exceed the capabilities of their progenitors. Treatments with Semesan are simple and effective. Either dust the seeds 

 or bulbs with one-half to one ounce of powdered Semesan for each 15 pounds of seeds, or immerse them in a 25 per cent concentration 

 of liquid Semesan for 15 minutes to two hours. This solution is easily made by stirring one ounce of Semesan with three gallons of 



water. Semesan is supplied in packages as follows 



2 ozs $0 60 I 8 ozs $1 60 



4 ozs 1 00 1 Ib 2 75
