INSECTS THAT EAT PLANTS, FOLIAGE, VEGETABLES, FRUITS, 

 FLOWERS, ETC. whether bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slugs, 

 are more quickly and effectually destroyed with a poisonous insecticide as 

 Arsenate of Lead. Paris Green or Hellebore. These if intelligently applied 

 according to directions are so dilute as to be harmless to vegetation and to 

 animal life, excepting in quantity. Less poisonous stomatic and contact 

 insecticides are Bug Death, Fir Tree Oil Soap, Kerosene Emulsion, 

 Slug Shot, etc. 



FOR HOUSE AND CONSERVATORY PLANTS the most convenient 

 insecticides are Aphine. Nicoteen and Lemon Oil.

 mildew, spot, dry rot, and rust should be promptly treated with Bordeaux, 

 Ammoniated Copper Solution, Fungine or Sulphur.

 Bordeaux-Arsenate and Pyrox.

 affected by stomach poisons and must be destroyed by contact insecticides. 

 Those in powder form kill by closing the breathing pores in the insect's 

 skin; or in fluid form by being absorbed through these pores. The best 

 contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Slug Shot 

 and Tobacco Dust. The best in fluid form are Aphine, Black Leaf 40,

 worms, etc., use Ant-i-cide, Cutworm Killer, Tobacco Dust, Scotch Soot
