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 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 poisonous stomachic and contact insecticides are Bug" Death, Kerosene Miscible Oil, Slug* 

 Shot, etc.

SEMES AN, the NEW Du Pont Mercuric Disinfectant

sturdier plants, increases crop yield 



Semesan is used effectively in treating seed for: Cereal 

 Crop Diseases (smuts and leaf, stem and root diseases) ; 

 Field and Forage Crop Diseases: Truck Crop Diseases 

 (stem, root, leaf and fruit diseases); Diseases of 

 Ornamentals. 



"Brown Patch": Semesan prevents and cures 

 "Brown Patch. ' a disease of grasses that destroys the 

 turf on golf greens, grass tennis courts, parks and estates. 

 Disinfection of grass seed with Semesan will also aid in 

 preventing "Brown Patch." Semesan treatment of turf 

 already infected will control "Brown Patch," and nasten 

 the recovery of the diseased green. Semesan is not only 

 harmless to turf, but it will actually stimulate the grass 

 to more profuse growth. 

 It can be appiieu in either dust or liquid form. 



"Damping-Off": Seedlings grown from Semesan-treated seeds are more 

 resistant to the costly "damping-off" fungi which so severely attack both 

 seedlings and cuttings.
