NOTE — Items on this page offered transportation paid are prepaid by us within first and second zones (150 miles of 

 New York City), except where otherwise noted mail, express, or freight, at our option. Beyond these zones, purchaser

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 insecticides in powder form are Hellebore, Slug Shot and Tobacco 

 Dust. The best fluids are Aphine, Black-Leaf 40, Evergreen, Fish Oil Soap, 

 Kerosene Miscible Oil, Red Arrow, etc. For San Jose, Oyster and Scurfy Scale, 

 use Lime Sulphur, Scalecide, 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 or Hellebore. 

 Less poisonous stomachic and contact insecticides are Evergreen, Kerosene 

 Miscible Oil, Red Arrow, Rotenone, Slug Shot, etc. For ground insects, cut 

 worms, grubs, etc., use Snarol or Vermine. For blights, rust, black spot and 

 fungus diseases, use Bordeaux Mixture, Fungine, Fungtrogen, Pyrox, etc.
