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 

 breathingporesintheinsect's skin; or in fluid form by being absorbed through these pores. The best contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Helle- 

 bore, 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 Extract). 

 Kerosene Miscible Oil, Lemon Oil, "X L" All Liquid Insecticide. 



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, Fir Tree Oil Soap, Kerosene Emulsion, Slug Shot, etc.
