Remedies for Insects and Plant Diseases

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, 

 must be destroyed by contact insecticides. Those in powder form kill by the breathing pores in the insect's skin; in liquid form, by being 

 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 bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slugs, are more quickly and 

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

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