BUG DEATH Effective But Not 
, ™ —i Poisonous 
Every garden is bothered by bugs of some kind but many people are 
afraid to use the regular insecticides because they are poisonous. 
In Bug Death we offer an insecticide which is easy to apply, which kills 
all bugs that eat the stems and leaves of plants, but which is not poisonous. 
It is harmless to human beings and live stock. It can be kept in the house 
without danger as it won't hurt the children even if they should happen 
to get some of it.

BUG DEATH APHIS 
For Plant Life and Sucking Insects. 
Dr. G. M. Twitehell, of Maine, had been using Bug 
Death with marked success for a number of years. 
He could depend on Bug Death to kill the leaf-eating 
insects but he also wanted a non-poisonous insecti- 
cide to kill the sucking insects. After much experi- 
menting he got just what he wanted. He used Bug 
Death as the base and by adding sulphur, lime, and 
tobacco dust, he produced a safe combination in- 
secticide and fungicide. 
This he called Bug Death Aphis and it can be 
used with safety on Roses, Chrysanthemums, Sweet 
Peas, and other flowers, also Tomatoes, Cucumbers, 
Squashes, and other vegetables and also on fruit trees 
and berry bushes. It not only kills the sucking in- 
sects but is an excellent fungicide as well. { 
It is not poisonous to bees, birds, chickens, animals, 
or human beings. 
Order Bug Death Aphis with your seeds. The use 
of it will greatly increase the value of your crop. 
12 oz. package, 25c, postage extra; 10 lbs., $1.45. 80 ib. 
keg, $8.50 f . o. b. Lawrence or $9.00 for Denver. 
Duster Brown Duster 
With the in- 
creasing use 
of insecti- 
cides in the 
dry or pow- 
der for m, 
there has., 
arisen the need of a small but practical duster for 
applying these in a convenient and effective way. 
We believe that we have in the Duster Brown a 
dust gun v.hich will prove entirely satisfactory for 
dusting any powder on garden truck, flowers, and 
even small trees. 
The Duster Brown is double acting, and therefore 
throws a continuous stream of powder. The con- 
tainer and pump are in one cylinder, which puts the 
weight in the right place for balance. The manifold 
on the top encleses the two valves, and makes it pos- 
sible for the operator to blow a steady stream of 
dust. The container holds, approximately one quart 
and the air jet is so arranged that it acts as an 
agitator-. 
Order orie of the guns with your insecticides, and 
we know ycu will be well pleased. Price, $2.00 each. 
We have used Bug Death for a good many years, 
and find that it- is unexcelled in every detail. "2t 
will kill bugs or insects instantly, thus making 
the plant vigorous and healthy. And another 
thing: I have noticed we have, raised big potato 
crops where our neighbors raised little potatoes 
and a very short crop. 
"BLACK LEAF 40" 
NICOTINE SULPHATE 
(This is a poison and cannot be mailed.) 
This is splendid for use as a contact spray to kill 
green and woolly Aphis, Plant Lice, Red Spiders, Cab- 
bage Aphis, and Onion Thrips. It is especially effec- 
tive for the Green Aphis on Sweet Peas, Roses, and 
Apple Trees, as it kills the insects as soon as it 
touches them; but if used according to directions does 
not injure the leaves, flowers or fruit. Spray Apple 
Trees when the tips of the buds are green, % pt. to 
100 gallons of water. For Sweet Peas and Roses, 
use 40 drops of the solution to 1 qt. of water as soon 
as the pests appear. 
"Black Leaf 40" is a concentrated solution of Nico- 
tine Sulphate and contains 40 per cent of Nicotine 
by weight. The difference between "free" nicotine 
and nicotine sulphate is that nicotine in the "free' 
state evaporates much more easily. Hence, the sul- 
phate is to be preferred for purposes requiring more 
"lasting" properties* such as for spraying outdoor 
plants and trees, but not for fumigating. Price, 1 oz. 
bottle, 35c; makes 3 to 6 gallons of spray. X A lb., 
$1.25; 2 lbs., $3.75. This cannot be sent by parcel post.
