THE FACTS 



about the newer Pest Controls 



With the remarkable advances that have been made in the past several years in] 

 modern pest control chemicals, it is easier than ever for you to grow a bigger, 

 better and more beautiful garden. 



Thanks to modern scientific research, such potent chemicals as DDT, TEPP, 

 chlordane, methoxychlor, 2, 4-D and 2, 4, 5-T and the recently-developed "lin 

 dane" are now available to home gardeners. 



Multi-Purpose Sprays 



From the home gardener's standpoint, 

 perhaps the most important development in- 

 modern garden pest control is the com- 

 bining of several of these chemicals into 

 one multi-purpose dust or spray ... so 

 that many different kinds of pests can be 

 controlled. All you have to do is to dust 

 or spray regularly at seven to ten-day 

 intervals . . . and you get control of most 

 of the pests you'll find in your garden. 



For the pests which do not yield to this 

 treatment, science has provided many 

 specialized sprays and dusts. These are all 

 easy to use — and are available at your 

 seed store — together with all the informa- 

 tion you need. 



Modern Dusts 



If you prefer to dust, you have several 

 good multi-purpose garden dusts to 

 choose from. These dusts contain balanced 

 combinations of modern insecticides and 

 fungicides — but may also contain reliable 

 old-type chemicals such as sulfur. 



An example of a good multi-purpose 

 garden dust is one that contains two in- 

 secticidees and two fungicides — the most 

 important ingredient being, of course, the 

 potent new insecticide, lindane. This mul- 

 ti-purpose dust controls certain sucking, 

 insects chewing insects, wireworms and 

 other soil insects; ants, earwigs, spiders; 

 adn also such plant diseases as mildew, 

 black spot and rust. 



Another example is a general flower and 

 rose dust. This is especially formulated for 

 yo\ar roses, other flowers, ornamentals and 

 shrubs. It is a combination of several 

 chemicals, two of which are lindane and 

 DDT. This dust also is effective in con- 

 trolling sucking, chewing and soil insects; 

 ants, earwigs, and many plant diseases. 



Modern Sprays 



If you prefer to spray your flowers and 

 other garden plants, there are modern 

 multi-purpose garden spray sets and rose 

 spray kits you can use. These consist of 

 several bottles, each containing one of the 

 modern insecticides or fungicides. You 

 combine them in your sprayer according 

 to the directions and you get multi-purpose 

 control of both insects and fungus di- 

 seases. 



In one such spray set, for example, you 

 will find a bottle of modern insecticide 



40 



spray, a bottle of the reliable older-type 

 oil spray, and a bottle of copper fungicide 

 spray for powdery mildew. In anothei 

 spray set you'll find a bottle containinc 

 the newest of garden insecticides — lindane, 

 and a bottle of a recently-developed fun- 

 gus spray that has been doing wonders ir 

 controlling powdery mildew, rose rust anc 

 peach leaf curl. In addition, this particulai 

 spray set contains one of the new-type 

 garden hose sprayers that is designed to 

 make your garden spraying as easy as 

 watering. You just connect the sprayer to 

 the end of the garden hose and turn on 

 the water to spray. 



Modern Garden Baits 



When it comes to controlling such gar- 

 den pests as snails, slugs and cutworms, 

 you have another improvement over the 

 old-style meal baits in the modern pelleted- 

 type of bait. The pellets contain metal- 

 dehyde-arsenic poisons and give multi- 

 purpose protection to the young, succulent 

 growth of your garden plants. 



Modern Weed Killing 



When the rains come, weeds start com- 

 ing up in the driveway and paths, along 

 the curb, among the patio bricks, along 

 the fence and garage, and in other places 

 where you don't want any vegetation to 

 grow. 



You can now keep these places free of 

 weeds easily and quickly — without the 

 old-fashioned method of hand hoeing — 

 simply by using a modern weed killer 

 containing arsenic trioxide. This chemical 

 kills weeds and also sterilizes the soil so 

 no vegetation will grow for a year or 

 two. You simply apply it to these places 

 with a sprayer or an ordinary sprinkling 

 can. An important feature to home owners 

 is that the chemical is non-inflammable and 

 can be used to reduce "dry-weed" fire 

 hazards. 



Nev/ 2, 4, 5-T Kills Brush 



Latest of the hormone-type chemicals is 

 new 2, 4, 5-T. This chemical is even more 

 potent against broad-leaved weeds than 

 2, 4-D and is especially effective against 

 hard-to-kill perennial weeds and brushy 

 plants. If you want to get rid of poison 

 ivy, poison oak, willows, sagebrush or 

 similar brushy weeds, just spray or paint 

 them with a 2, 4, 5 brush killer.
