Insecticides. 



STECELEB'S TOBACCO DUST. — The 



best and most inexpensive insecticide and 

 fertilizer of the day, and one of the most 

 effective agents against the cabbage fly 

 and worms which are so injurious and de- 

 structive to Cabteage and Cauliflower 

 plants, and to Cucumbers and Melons. 

 Used by the larger cucumber growers with 

 satisfactory results. We have had oppor- 

 tunity to have a thorough test of our To- 

 bacco Dust on chicken lice, and have 

 found it to be the best insecticide for hen- 

 neries, under setting hens, etc We have 

 had it tested by a number of poultrymen, 

 who pronounce it to be the best agent 

 against poultry vermin. Also for insects 

 on Flowering and Vegetable Plants; in fact, 

 for all live plants. In addition to the ad- 

 vantageous results of the Tobacco Dust as 

 an insecticide, it is one of the best fer- 

 tilizers. It is as good as a commercial 

 fertilizer, used at the rate of 300 lbs. to 

 the acre. It is worth 10c per lb.; If by 

 mail, 9c per pound must be added for 

 postage. 3 lbs. for 25c; 10 lbs. for 8@c; 

 $2.00 per 100 lbs.; $19.00 per 1,000 lbs., put 

 up in sacks. 



TOBACCO STEMS.— Next to our fine 

 Tobacco Dust the stems are extensively 

 used as an insecticide by thoroughly boil- 

 ing them down to a strong decoction, thus 

 extracting all the strength from them, 

 using the liquid for spraying. The stems 

 are also strewn around the plants, permit- 

 ting the rain and sun to strike them, which 

 causes a kind of suffocating steam to 

 emanate from them, kHling all insects in- 

 fecting the plant. Price, 10c per pound; 

 10 lbsT for 80c, $3.00 per oat sack. 



"NICO-FTJME" TOBACCO FAFER is so 



well known to florists and horticulturists 

 throughout the country that detailed com- 

 ment is doubtless unnecessary; our claim 

 being that "Nico-Fume" Paper is the 

 "strongest, best packed and easiest ap- 

 plied" tobacco paper on the market — the 

 sheets being folded and punched, ready for 

 use, thus saving labor and loss of strength 

 through evaporation while handling.
