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 insecticide as 

 Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green or Hellebore. These if intelligently applied 

 according to directions are so dilute as to be harmless to vegetation and to 

 animal life, excepting in quantity. Less poisonous stomatic and contact 

 insecticides are Bug Death, Fir Tree Oil Soap. Kerosene Emulsion, 

 Slug Shot. etc. 



FOR HOUSE AND CONSERVATORY PLANTS the most convenient 

 insecticides are Aphine, Nicoteen, Insect Powder and Lemon Oil. 



FUNGUS ON PLANTS, TREES, FRtHTS, VINES AND VEGETABLES as 



mildew, spot, dry rot. and rust should be promptly treated with Bordeaux, 

 Ammoniated Copper Solution, Fungine or Sulphur. 



THE BEST COMBINED FUNGUS AND INSECT DESTROYERS are 



Bordeaux-Arsenate and Pyrox. 



FOR SCALE ON HARD WOODED PLANTS, SHRUBS AND TREES use 



Kerosene Emulsion, or if dormant Lime — Sulphur Solution or Scalecide. 



FOR TREE BORERS use Borowax. For Tree Wounds use "Electro" Tree 

 Wound Paint. 



TO PREVENT CATERPILLARS AND INSECTS CRAWLING UP TREES, 



use Sticky Tree Cord. Tree Tanglefoot or Fish Oil Soap.

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

 scale, thrust their proboscis into the leaf or stem, consequently are not 

 affected by stomach poisons and must be destroyed by contact insecticides. 

 Those in powder form kill by closing the breathing pores in the insect's 

 skin; or in fluid form by being absorbed through these pores. The best 

 contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Insect 

 Powder, Slug Shot and Tobacco Dust. The best in fluid form are Aphine. 

 Black Leaf 40, Fir Tree Oil Soap. Fish (Whale) Oil Soap, Nicoteen (Tobacco
