The Unrivaled 



Contact Insecticide — Kills Them Every Time 



HalFs Nicotine Sulphate 



For Outdoor Spraying, Individually or in Combination 



■)*rThis is a concentrated solution of Nicotine in the form of Nicotine Sulphate 

 containing 40% of actual Nicotine by weight. It is practically non-volatile and 

 should be used for all outdoor spraying and dipping, where Nicotine is effective, 

 but should not be used for vaporizing. Nicotine Sulphate may be com- 

 bined with Arsenate of Lead, Lime Sulphur. Bordeaux Mixture or oil emulsions. 

 Kills lice, green, black and white aphis, mealy bug, red spider, and scale by 

 contact being absorbed by the body of the insect, which must be thoroughly 

 wetted. It is therefore necessary to spray the underside of the foliage where 

 the insect usually feeds. Soap increases the wetting power of the spray and 

 its use is recommended. ' 



Peter Henderson & Co. uses Hall's Nicotine exclusively 

 for spraying in their Greenhouses; also their Trial 

 Grounds.
