NOTE — Items on this page offered transportation paid are prepaid by us within first and second zones (150 miles of 

 New York City), except where otherwise noted mail, express, or freight, at our option. Beyond these zones, purchaser

Insects that suck the juices from plants, foliage, etc., such as 

 lice, green, black and white aphis or fly, mealy bug, red spider 

 and scale, must be destroyed by contact insecticides. Those 

 in powder form kill by the breathing pores in the insect's skin; 

 in liquid form, by being absorbed through their pores. The 

 best contact insecticides in powder form are Hellebore, Slug 

 Shot and Tobacco Dust. The best fluids are Aphine, Black- 

 Leaf 40, Evergreen, Fish Oil Soap, Kerosene Miscible Oil, Red 

 Arrow, etc. For San Jose, Oyster and Scurfy Scale, use Lime 

 Sulphur, Scalecide, etc. 



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 stom- 

 achic insecticide, such as Arsenate of Lead or Hellebore. Less 

 poisonous stomachic and contact insecticides are Evergreen, 

 Kerosene Miscible Oil, Red Arrow, Rotenone, Slug Shot, etc. For 

 ground insects, cut worms, grubs, etc., use Snarol or Vermine. 

 For blights, rust, black spot and fungus diseases, use Bordeaux 

 Mixture, Fungine, Fungtrogen, Pyrox, etc.
