INSECTICIDES.

 which is one of the best and cheapest insect destroyers known. It is one of the most 

 effective agents against the cabbage fly and worms, which are so injurious to and destruc- 

 tive to cabbage and cauliflower plants, also for cucumbers and melons. 



Used very extensively by the largest cucum'ier growers in this vicinity with satisfac- 

 tory results. The past season we had opportunity to have a thorough test made of our 

 tobacco dust on chicken lice, not only through our own experience, that we have found 

 it to be the best insecticide in henneries under setting hens, etc., we have had it tested 

 by a number of poultry men, who pronounce it to be the best agent against poultry 

 vermin. One of them has written us a very strong testimonial which will be found among 

 our testimonials on the inside back cover of this Manual. It is generally put on plants 

 in the morning when the dew is on them or just after a rain. After a few applications 

 it has been found to be very effective. Price, 10 lb. packages 25c; 50 lbs. 75c;
