THE SPRAY PUMP $0 
Price, complete, including a one-ounce 
bottle of “Black Leaf 40.” 
VWite to us direct, enclosing price, and we will send 
it to you, to any railroad point in the iJnited States, 
by express prepaid. 
There is only one way to free your plants 
from insect pests and that is to keep at it. 
Spray regularly, and when you do spray, 
spray thoroughly. 
F or insect pests are not easily 
discouraged. After a spell of 
rain you may not see any at all 
on your plants, but a few days later 
the plants may be heavy with them. 
And “heavy” is a good word — often 
the aphids on a stem will weigh 30% 
as much as the portion of the stem 
upon which they are feeding. If you 
remember that all the weight of the 
insects came from the plant origi- 
nally, for their only food is plant 
juice, you’ll appreciate the signifi- 
cance of it. 
The importance of a good pump 
cannot be overestimated if you wish 
to do effective work. It must be well 
designed if it is to do its work thor- 
oughly; it must be strongly built if 
you are to use it regularly — you 
can’t be regular with a pump that 
gets out of order. We have the good 
pump for you. We sell it in combi- 
nation with a one-ounce bottle of 
“BLACK LEAF 40” 
a contact insecticide of well established rep- 
utation, guaranteed to contain 40% of nico- 
tine by weight. Our pump 
was designed primarily 
This is the one-ounce bot- 
tle of ‘'Black Leaf 40,” two- 
thirds actual size. You may 
obtain additional supplies 
from your dealer, at 25c a 
bottle, containing one ounce 
by weight of tbe concen- 
trated solution, sufficient to 
make six gallons of spray. 
We cannot ship these bottles 
direct. 
For extensive spraying 
operations dealers will sup- 
ply you “Black Leaf 40” 
packed in larger containers. 
for the use of this, but our pump may be 
used as effectively with Arsenate of Lead, 
Bordeaux Mixture and all other insecticides 
and fungicides, or for spraying disinfectants. 
There are two distinct sorts 
X JIh. of insects destructive to 
plant life — the “chewing” kind, like beetles; 
and the “sucking” kind, like aphids, thrips 
and leaf-hoppers. You can eliminate the 
former by a poison insecticide like Arsenate 
of Lead, that kills when it is eaten. You 
can destroy the latter only by a contact 
insecticide, like nicotine solutions, that 
kills when it comes into contact with the 
insect’s body. Be sure what sort of pest 
you are spraying for when you do spray; 
sometimes it pays to spray for both sorts 
simultaneously. Ask our Garden Service 
Department how this can be done.
