WALTER S. SCHELL'S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
Kill the Bugs! Save the Crops! 
Be sure to spray with the right insecticide, for different insects require different sprays to kill them. As a guide 
we give here some suggestions as to what is most effective. We have all the following insecticides. Full directions 
for using with each package. Those marked "postpaid" may be sent by mail. 
FOR CABBAGE WORMS, dust Slug Shot on the plants at 
intervals as often as found necessarj' to kill the worms. Slug 
Shot will also kill potato bugs, melon, cucumber and squash 
bugs, and eating insects that attack flower plants. Price of 
Slug Shot, lb. box 20 cts., 5 lbs. 60 cts., 25 lbs. $2.50 (post- 
paid, lb. 30 cts., s lbs. 80 cts.). 
FOR CABBAGE MAGGOTS at the roots of cabbage, cauli- 
flower, radishes, onions, beets, beans, etc. I am glad indeed 
to announce to you that there has at last been discovered a 
sure, effective remedy for this trouble — it is Carco. Mr. 
Page, of Eagle Gorge, says, "For five years we have been 
unable to grow a radish on account of the maggots. Last 
year we used your Carco for the first time and not one plant 
was eaten by a maggot." Full directions for using with each 
package. Price of Carco, pt. 60 cts., qt. 85 cts.. yigzl. $i.so, 
gal. $2.50. (Postpaid, pt. 75 cts., qt. jl.io.) 
FOR CURRANT WORMS, use Hellebore. Dusting this on 
the plants thoroughly will be found very effective. Price of 
Hellebore, >^lb. 35 cts., lb. 70 cts., s lbs. $3.23, 10 lbs. $6. 
FOR LICE ON PLANTS. These destructive insects get on 
ever>' kind of plant, on cabbage, potatoes, beets, radish, 
turnips, lettuce, peas. They are often found in great numbers 
on the under side of the leaves and along the stems and some- 
times on the tops of the leaves. These lice are green and red. 
You should watch for them and spray when you see the first 
one, for that is a sure sign there are more, and they multiply 
by the thousands, destroying a crop in a few days if not con- 
trolled. They do not eat but suck the sap from the plant, 
causing it to curl, wither, and die, so they are not killed by 
eating poisons but by a contact poison. Black-Leaf 40 is 
the one most effective spray — it kills these lice as soon as it 
touches them and does not harm vegetable or flower plants 
when used as directed. Price of Black-Leaf 40, small 
bottle (makes 6 gals.) 3SC., H-lb. can (makes so gals.) $1. 2-lb. 
can (makes 200 gals.) $3, lo-lb. can (makes i.ooo gals.) S12. 
FOR POTATO BUGS. There are a number of effective poi- 
sons which will kill the potato bug. Pyrox is used more than 
any other, for it is more economical in that it both kills the 
bugs and prevents blight. In other words, it is a non-burning 
combination of bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead, giv- 
ing you the benefit of two sprays in one, sticking to the leaves, 
like paint, and does not wash off as others do. We sell thous- 
ands of pounds of it annually. Pyrox is good to spray on all 
kinds of vegetable plants to kill all bugs or worms that eat 
the foliage or the vegetable, and it is good also for spraying 
fruit blossoms and fruit. (Ask us for booklet on this subject.) 
Price of Pyrox, lb. 4Scts..slbs. $1.75, lolbs. $3.25lbs. $5.2S. 
50 lbs. $11, 100 lbs. $20, 300 lbs. I57. (One pound makes

Paris Green, dusted on, wil kill potato bugs, and also 
when sprayed on, in liquid form, using i to 1)4 pounds to 
so gallons of water, depending on the age of the bugs and the 
tenderness of the plants. Making it too strong on young 
plants or on very hot days may burn the plants. Price of

S lbs. $3.20. 10 lbs. $6.25, 14-lb. keg $7.70.

sects. Used also for spraying fruit, both by dusting and in 
Uquid form. Prices of Arsenate of Lead Powder. ^^Ib.

FOR KILUNG SAN JOSE SCALE on fruit trees use either 
Scalecide or Lime-Sulphur Solution — both are good. 
SCALECIDE. It kills the San Jos6 and other scales affecting 
trees. Safe to use and on rough barked trees it spreads better 
than any other. Thousands of fruit-growers everywhere have

SOLUBLE SULPHUR COMPOUND IN POWDERED 
FORM. For use as a funigicide, insecticide and preventive 
of aphis. Reduce the cost of spraying by fighting three 
different classes of pests and diseases with the same weapon 
at the same time. For Winter Spraying, when trees are 
dormant, use 10 pounds of the material to so gallons of 
water, for the control of San Jos6 scale, oyster-shell bark- 
louse, pear ps^■lla and other sucking insects; for leaf-blister 
mite, peach leaf-curl, apple scab and other fungous diseases. 
For Summer Spraying, when trees are in foliage, for the 
control of apple scab and larvae of sucking insects, use only 
to 2 pounds of the material to 50 gallons of water. For 
peach and plum foliage, use 2K to 3}4 pounds of the material 
to 200 gallons of water. To kill scale, trees should be sprayed 
any time after February r. as long as the trees are not in 
leaf or bud, but only when weather is warm enough to prevent 
freezing of the liquid on the trees. Lb. 40 cts., s lbs. $1.50,
