PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



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, 

 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 the breathing pores in the insect's skin; or in liquid form, by being absorbed through their pores. The best 

 contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Slug Shot and Tobacco Dust. The best fluids are Aphine, Nicotine, Fish Oil 

 Soap, Kerosene Misciblc Oil, 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. 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, Kerosene Miscible Oil, Slug Shot, etc.

zone rates on Page 2 of cover, if wanted by parcel post.

ARSENATE OF LEAD POWDER. For dusting it is mixed with 

 Hydrated Lime or road dust or used in liquid form. To kill most chewing 

 Insects on Plants. Trees, Shrubs, etc., it will be found far superior to 

 Arsenate of Lead Paste, which contains a large percentage of moisture leav- 

 ing a small amount of active ingredients that deteriorate rapidly. 



We have discontinued the handling of Arsenate of Lead Paste, for this 

 reason, and advise the use of Arsenate of Lead Powder. The powder goes 

 twice as far with better results and is easier to handle.

 as it mixes more readily and holds its strength better and more convenient 

 to handle.

 taining metallic copper and lead this cannot be carried for any length of time
