Remedies for Insects and Plant Diseases 



Insects that Suck the Juices from Plants, Foliage, etc., such as lice, gTeen, 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 Miscible 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 poisonoas 

 stomachic and contact insecticides are Bug Death, Kerosene Miscible OIL Slug Shot, etc.
