Remedies for Insects and Plant Diseases 



\ 



Insects that suck the Juices from Plants, Foliage, etc., such as lice, green, black and white aphis or fly, mealy bu^, red spider and scale, 

 thrust their proboscis into the leaf or stem, and are not affected by stomach poisons: so they must be destroyed by contact insecticides. 

 Those in powder form kill by the breathin;* pores in the insect's skin: or in liquid form, by bein^ absorbed through their pores. The best 

 contact insecticides in powder form are Bu^ Death, Hellebore. Slu^ Shot and Tobacco Dust. The best fluids are Aphine, Nicotine, Fish Oil 

 Soap, Kerosene Miscible Oil, etc. 



Insects that Eat Plants, Foliage, Vegetables, Fruits. Flowers, etc., whether bu^s, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slujs, are more quickly 

 and effectually destroyed with a poisonous stomachic insecticide such as Arsenate of Lead, or Hellebore. These, if applied according to 

 directions, are so diluted as to be harmless to vegetation and to animal life. Less poisonous stomachic and contact insecticides are Bu^ 

 Death, Kerosene Miscible Oil, Slui^ Shot, etc.

ARSENATE OF LEAD POWDER. For dusting it is mixed with 

 Hvdrated Liine or road dust or used in liquid form. To kill most chewing 

 insects on Plants, Trees. Shrubs, etc., it will be found far superior to 

 Arsenateof Lead Paste, which contams a large percentage of moisture leav- 

 ing a small amount of active ingredients that deteriorate rapidly. 



We have discontinued the handling of Arsenate of Lead Paste, for this 

 reason, and advi.se the use of Arsenate of Lead Powder. The powder goes 

 twice as far with better results and is easier to handle.

 as it mi.xes more readily and holds its strength better and more convenient 

 to handle.

 Ornamentals.

 "Brown Patch," a disease of grasses that destroys the

 preventing "Brown Patch." Semesan treatment of turf

 harmless to turf, but it will actually stimulate the grass 

 to more proftise growth.
