ROGERS INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 

 Poisons are not mailable; to be sent by express 



Within the recent past years spraying of fruit has become a science. Experts connected 

 with the experiment stations have clone wonderful work and all guess work is eliminated, 

 and It is no longer necessary to use haphazard methods. The old paste and liquid insecti- 

 cides have been mostly discarded. The best manufacturers have developed a large line in 

 insecticides in dry powdered form which being much more convenient to handle and to keep 

 until used, as well as being free from danger of freezing or loss through leakage, and saving 

 a very large part of tho cost of transportation. 



We offer a few insecticides. They cover practically every requirement for the sprayer of 

 fruit and vegetables.
