EVERYTHING FOWL THE GARDEN - Insecticides 



REMEDIES for INSECTS and FUNGUS, CONTACT and STOMACHIC 



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, 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 closing the breathing 

 pores in the insect's skin; or in liquid form by being absorbed through their pores. The best contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Slug 

 Shot, and Tobacco Dust. The best in fluid form are Aphine, Black Leaf 40, Fish (Whale) Oil Soap, Kerosene Miscible Oil, and Lemon Oil. ! 



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 stomachic insecticide such as Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green 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 Bug Death, Kerosene Miscible Oil, Slug Shot, etc. 



Powders, Soaps and Pastes (those offered by the pound) — non-poisonous — can be sent by Parcel Post, if sufficient 



is added to the prices to pay postage at Zone Rates (see page 1). 



Fluids (those offered by the quart, ete.) and poisonous powders are not mailable.
