ARSENATE OF LEAD 



Arsenate of Lead is an arsenical poison for use against insects 

 that chew and for such insects as the fruit-flies that lap and suck 

 up sweetened liquids. It has also been shown to have considerable 

 fungicidal value both when used alone or used in combination with 

 lime-sulphur. 



Arsenate of Lead is prepared in powder form. The powdered 

 form can be used in liquid sprays. The powdered form is also 

 used for dusting. 



The principal insects for which Arsenate of Lead is used are: 

 Apple-maggot, brown-tail moth, bud-moth, cankerwoem, codling 

 moth, fruit-tree leaf-roller, gipsy moth, tent caterpillar, pear slug, 

 curculio, etc. 



Directions: 1 to 114 lbs. powder to 30 gallons of water.

ARSENITE OF ZINC (POWDER) 



Arsenlte of Zinc — This is a combination of arsenic with zinc 

 to form a quick acting, adhesive insecticide for use o.i potatoes and 

 some other truck cro s. It is much more adhesive and less caustic 

 than Paris Green and kills quicker than Arsenate of Lead. 



The great advantages of Arsenlte of Zinc are: 



First — It kills the bugs so quickly they do not have a chance 

 to cause seriou« injury to vines. 



Second — It sticks to the vines so that it is not necessary to 

 Tespray after every rain. 



Third — It ca^i be used at sufficient strength to insure 

 results without burning or injuring the vines. 



DIRECTIONS: 2-lbs. to 50-gallons 



First — Apply as soon as eggs begin to hatch. For spraying 

 use at rate of two pounds to the acre — this may require one or 

 two pounds or more of the powder to fifty gallons of water de- 

 pending upon the quantity of liquid distributed per acre by the 

 spraying outfit. The spray tank should be partly filled with water 

 and the powder sifted in slowly while the agitator is running. 



Second — Make second application ten days to two weeks later 

 in order to cover new growth. 



Third — Make third application ten days to two weeks after 

 second.

CALCIUM ARSENATE 



CALCIUM ARSENATE is a dry powder, very finely su,b- 

 divided, and of about the same physical texture as Arsenate of 

 Lead Powder. That is, it is smooth and fluffy, and has the exces- 

 sive fineness necessary to make spraying applications easy, and to 

 give the highest poisoning results.

ATOMIC SULPHUR 



This is pure sulphur treated by a special process to convert it 

 into a very finely divided state in the form of paste, so it can be 

 readily diluted with water and applied as a spray to coat fruit and 

 foliage with a thin film of sulphur to prevent germination of 

 fungous spores. 



It is recommended for the control of scab on peaches, brown 

 rot on peaches, plums and cherries and cedar rust on apples.

POISON 



KIL-WEED 



POISON 



NOT TO BE USED ON LAWNS 



A SCIENTIFIC WEED DESTROYER. FREE FROM ODOR 

 By Analysis it Has Been Found There Is no Stronger 

 Weed Killer on the Market. 



An unsurpassed preparation for the removal of grass, weeds, 

 vines and bushes from paths, roadways, gutters, streets and any 

 other place from which it is desired to remove any and all vege- 

 table growths, thus destroying the breeding ground for mosquitoes. 

 The work can be done in a speedy, thorough, economical and easy 

 manner. The material has no bad effect on the ground, neither 

 does It injure or discolor the brick, stone or marble curbing. 



No more digging and disfiguring of paths and roadways. Saves 

 expense of several men. KIIj-WEED not only kills weeds, but 

 destroys seed germs and roots of plants. Can be used with an 

 ordinary sprinkling can. One gallon KIL-WEED will make 

 30 gallons treating liquid when mixed with water. One man 

 with a sprinkling can in one hour can do as much or more than 

 six men could in one-half day, and do the work better. 



Judgment should be exercised in using KIL-WEED, as it is 

 impossible to give full directions to suit every case. If the weeds 

 are large and strong the solution should be made stronger than 

 for ordinary grass and weeds. They should be cut down so that 

 the solution can reach the roots.
