Insecticides. 



STECEZiER'S TOBACCO DUST. — The 



best and most inexpensive insecticide and 

 fertilizer of the day, and one of the most 

 effecti\e agents against the cabbag:e fly 

 and worms which are so injurious and de- 

 structive to Cabba.ge and Cauliflower 

 plants, and to Cucumbers and Melons. 

 Used by the larg-er 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 15c. per lb.; 3 lbs. 

 for 25c.; 10 lbs. for 60c.; $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, killing all insects in- 

 fecting the plant. Price, 10c. per pound; 

 10 lbs. for 80c.; $2.50 per oat sack. 



STECKIiER'S INSECT SOAP.— A sure 

 preventive for lice scale, also all other 

 insect pests on all kinds of foliage plants.

NIAGARA BRAND SOI.UBI.E SUL- 

 PHUR COMPOUND.— In Powder Form. — 



It is used for the control of San Jose scale, 

 oyster shell bark louse, and other scale in- 

 sects, apple scab, peach leaf curl and 

 other fungus diseases — pear, psylla, leaf 

 blister mite and aphis. 



Directions for Mixing: Fill the spray 

 tank or barrel about two-thirds full of 

 water. Then add the Soluble Sulphur 

 Compound, sifting it in gradually. If agi- 

 tator is then started while you are filling 

 the remainder of the tank, the Soluble 

 Sulphur Compound will be dissolved. The 

 Soluble Sulphur Compound will dissolve 

 very quickly in either hot or cold water if 

 agitated. If Arsenate of Lead is used in 

 connection with the Soluble Sulphur Com- 

 pound, it should be added last. 



Directions for Winter Spraying When 

 Trees Are Dormant: Use 10 to 12 1^ pounds 

 of the dry Soluble Sulphur Compound to 

 each 50 gallons of water, for the control 

 of San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Bark 

 Louse, Pear Psylla, Peach Leaf Curl, and 

 other sucking insects of fungus diseases. 



Directions for Summer Spraying: When 

 trees are in foliage, for the control of 

 Apple Scab and lar\ae of sucking insects, 

 use % to 1 pound of Soluble Sulphur Com- 

 pound to 50 gallons of water. To control 

 codling moth and chewing insects add 2 to 

 3 pounds arsenate of lead to each 50 gal- 

 lons. Do not use stronger than 1 pound 

 to 200 gallons w^ater on peach foliage. 



Put up in 100-lb. cans, $12.00 per can.
