SEMESAN 



Du Pont's Mercuric Disinfectant 

 Prevents and controls fungous diseases, quickens seed germination, 

 invigorates seedling growth, produces sturdier plants, increases crop 

 yield. 



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 control the majority of externally and many 

 internally borne diseases of seed 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. Semesan actually increases germination and invigorates 

 seedling growth by killing bacterial and fungous parasites. 



Semesan is used effectively in treating seed for: Cereal Crop Diseases 

 (smuts and leaf, stem and root diseases); Field and Forage Crop Diseases; 

 Truck Crop Diseases (stem, root, leaf and fruit diseases) ; Diseases of Orna- 

 mentals. 



Semesan Treatment of Bulbs in General 



For the disease disinfection of most of the more common types of bulbs, 

 corms and roots which do not have a hard o r thick skin coal, we recommend 

 soaking them in a solution of normal liquid Semesan (one ounce of Semesan 

 dust in three gallons of water), for one-half to two hours, depending upon 

 the time apparently necessary to cause fairly complete impregnation and 

 saturation.
