ARSENATE OF LEAD. A poison rapidly taking the 

 place of Paris green. Its great advantages are 

 that it adheres well to the foliage and spraying 

 does not have to be repeated as it does not readily 

 wash off by rain. It also remains well suspended in 

 solution so that an even distribution can be ob- 

 tained. It is white in color and shows just where 

 it has been applied. Its principle advantage lies in 

 the fact that it does not injure tender foliage.

 20 lbs., $3 10; 100 lbs., $16.00; bulk. 154c. lb.

 microbicide and antiseptic, of a gaseous nature 

 absorbed by water, and may be readily diluted

 tables, fruits, etc., and as an antiseptic wash and
