Remedies for Insects and Plant Diseases 



SPECIAL NOTICE — Items offered transportation paid are prepaid by us within first and second zones (ISO miles of New York City), mall, 

 express or freight, at our option. Beyond these zones, purchaser pays transportation charges. 



Insects that suck the juices from plants, foliage, etc., such as lice, ^reen, black and white aphis or fly, mealy bu^, 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 bein^ 

 absorbed through their pores. The best contact insecticide in powder form is Tobacco Dust. The best fluids are Black Leaf 40, Evergreen, 

 Red Arrow, etc. For San Jose, Oyster and Scurfy Scale, use LIME SULPHUR, etc. 



Insects that eat plants, foliage, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., whether bu^s, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slu^s, are more quickly and 

 effectually destroyed with a poisonous stomachic insecticide, such as Arsenate of Lead. Less poisonous stomachic and contact insecticides 

 are Deridust, Evergreen, Red Arrow, etc. For blights, rust, black spot and fundus diseases, use BORDEAUX MIXTURE, FUNGTROGEN, etc.
