Guard Your Plants 



Against 



Hidden 



Enemies 



Each year snails, slugs, sow bug-s, cut worms, earwig's, grasshoppers, etc., advance on 

 vegetation and destroy the tender growths as they shoot out of the ground. Nearly 

 everything" with which they come in contact is thus destroyed. 



Ants, for example, carry and protect aphis, scale and me?ily bug that annually destroy 

 millions of dollars' worth of vegetation. 



Snails, slugs, and sow bugs, for instance, work at night. Watch them yourself with a 

 candle in the dark. Note also how in the morning they have disappeared. 



The ^T^tional oAnt Qontrol 



Now a method has been discovered that 

 is most effective in the control of Argentine 

 and all hone3'-dew-loving species of ants. 

 7t is called Ar.trol — a syrup that is placed 

 about your premises in tiny glass jars 

 with special green tops. Ants eat it as 

 a food and thus carry its mildly poisonous 

 contents to the entire colony. Soon these 

 :n.sect.s are completely wiped out — at the 

 source.

Semesan (The l<lew Seed Disinjectant) 



A Disinfectant for the Control of Seed-Eorne Plant Diseases. 



E^-ery farmer, trucker, florist, and home 

 gardener should disinfect his seeds with 

 Semesan before planting, to rid them of 

 their surface-borne diseases, to increase and 

 accelerate their germination, to improve 

 seedling growth, to produce better stands, 

 and to secure earlier maturity as well a.s 

 both better quality and quantity of finished 

 crops. 



Treatments with Semesan are simple and 

 effective. Either dust the seeds or bulb'^ 

 with one-half to one ounce of powdered 

 Semesan for each 15 pounds of seeds, or im- 

 merse them in a 0.25 per cent concentration 

 of liquid Semesan for fifteen minutes to 

 two hours.

Calendula Seeds Sprout Better After 

 Semesan Treatment. 

 Row 1 — the untreated eheok, germinated only 

 18%. Soaking for 30 minutes in liquid Semesan 

 increased the germination in row 2 to 44«^, and 

 an hour's soaking rai.sed it still higher in row 

 ;{ to 67%.

 planted at onc^ or thoroughly dried and
