Still Easier to Use 

 Still More Effective 



Bowker's Pyrox is the last word in a scientific compound to protect plants from 

 insects and blights. For over a quarter-century Pyrox has been known as the handiest 

 and most efficient spray material on the market. And now, due to advanced manu- 

 facturing methods, Pyrox is even better than ever. There is simply nothing else like it. 



Smooth as fine paint, always soft and plastic, Pyrox is ready for instant use. No fuss or muss. No gtiess-work, nor weighing 

 and mixing different materials. Simply dip this creamy paste out of the jar or can. Add cold water. Stir. That's all. At 

 once you have a perfect mixture that sprays, mist-like, and lays a protective film over the whole plant. 



Insects, worms and bugs simply can't live where Pyrox is sprayed. Blights, rusts and rots can make no progress. Due to 

 the secret process of blending the deadly poison with the powerful fungicide extra high in copper, Pyrox not only saves your 

 plants, but improves them — makes them sturdier and stronger — lengthens the growing period — which increases the yield and 

 enriches the quality. And because it sticks like paint frequent sprayings are unnecessary. 



Use Pyrox especially for potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, cabbages, peppers, eggplants, berries, small fruits, shrubs 

 and flowers.

Bowker's Copper Lime Dusts 



Bowker's Copper Lime Dusts have met with marked favor among 

 the users of these products because of their exceptional quality. This 

 quality is the rei^ult of the long experience of Mr. G. R. Riches (of the 

 Bowker Company) who manufactured the original copper lime dusts for 

 Prof. George E. Sanders of Nova Scotia. Because the Bowker factory is 

 located at Baltimore we are able to offer these dusts, with or without 

 poison, to suit j'our particular requirements. Ask for prices on the 

 mixture you desire . 



Bowker's Calcide 



(High Grade Calcium Arsenate) 



Bowker's Calcide is prepared under the personal 

 supervision of Mr. G. R. Riches, wlio originated 

 calcium arsenate. His efforts, coupled with those 

 of the U. S. D. A. were principally responsible for 

 the perfection of this economical and effective in- 

 secticide. Although formerly used only in the South 

 to kill the cotton boU weevil, Calcide is fast sup- 

 planting arsenate of lead and paris green in other 

 sections to kill such pests as potato bugs, tobacco 

 worms, bean and melon beetles, etc. It is one 

 third stronger, quicker and cheaper than arsenate 

 of lead, far safer and only one half as expensive as paris green. Cal- 

 cide may be applied either wet or dry. 1-lb. package 30c, 4-lb. pack- 

 age $1.00. 25-lb. package $5,00. 100-lb. package $16.00. 



Bowker's Powdered Bordeaux Arsenate 



Bowker's Bordeaux Arsenate was placed on the 

 market only after many years of careful research 

 to produce a combined insecticide and fungicide 

 in powdered form. While no powdered fungicide 

 can be as effective in controlling blights, rusts 

 and rots as a paste material (like Pjtox), Bow- 

 ker's Powdered Bordeaux Arsenate provides the 

 nearest substitute. Being light and very finely 

 divided, Bowker's Bordeaux Arsenate mixes readily, sprays without 

 clogging, and adheres to the foliage for many days. Used for killing 

 leaf-chewing insects and controlling fungous diseases on vegetables and 

 small fruits, lib. package 45c, 4-lb. package $1.40. 25-lb. package 

 $7.50, 



Bowker's Powdered Bordeaux Mixture 



Bowker's Powdered Bordeaux is a powerful fungi- 

 cide for the control of blights, rusts and rots or 

 any crops where bordeaux is recommended by the 

 experiment stations or other agricultural authori- 

 ties. Fine, light and fluffy, Bowker's Bordeaux 

 mixes easily and completely. Hence it covers evenly 

 and sticks well to the foliage. When bugs or worms 

 are present use Bowker's P3T0X in place of Bor- 

 deaux, as Bordeaux contains no poison. 1-lb. package 35c. 4-lb. pack- 

 age $1.00. 25-lb. Package $4,50.
