It is recommended by the U. S. Govern- 

 ment to use arsenate of lead against the 

 tobacco hornworms and that it be applied 

 as dust or powder. 



The United States Department of Agri- 

 culture recommends for use on tobacco 

 a strong di-plumbic Arsenate of Lead — 

 Corona Dry is a pure di-plumbic arsenate 

 of lead containing 33% arsenic oxide ab- 

 solutely chemically combined with lead and 

 the lowest percentage of "free" or water 

 soluble arsenic. It is the ideal arsenate 

 of lead for spraying tobacco. It has all 

 the qualities recommended by the Gov- 

 ernment.

VEGETABLE PEAR. 



& I / The Vegetable Pear, 



or "Mirilton" as the 

 Creoles here call it. 

 belongs to the Gourd 

 family, and is known 

 to botanists under the 

 name of One-Seeded 

 Cucumber. Like most 

 of the gourds the 

 plant is a vine and 

 may be trained upon 

 a trellis, on a fence or 

 arbor; it is very or- 

 namental and an 

 abundant bearer. The 

 fruit, if prepared 

 right, forms a de- 

 lightful dish, much 

 finer in flavor than 

 either eggplants, 

 squashes or pump- 

 kins, and may be 

 cooked in half a 

 dozen different ways, 

 stewed, baked or as batter cakes. One 

 fruit envelopes one seed, which sprouts 

 from the large end. Plant where you in- 

 tend it shall grow. Cover only the large 

 end, leaving the small end exposed. Or 

 let the fruit lie around until it has well 

 sprouted, and then plant the seed, leaving 

 the sprout well above ground. Water 

 freely and do not be alarmed if frost 

 should destroy it. A new shoot will soon 

 appear. Give it abundance of water 

 throughout the hot summer season. Post- 

 paid 25c each; per doz., $1.50 not prepaid.
