INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 
ORMOCIDE. Carbon Bisulphide is acknowledged by agricultural 
authorities to be one of the most powerful insecticides known. It 
is the most deadly enemy of all insect life. Its use has been re- 
stricted due to its volatility and the danger of explosion if its vapors 
are ignited. In Ormocide we have oveicome these drawbacks 
without lessening the efficiency and thus make available for your 
use, the cleanest, safest, and most efficient means for destroying 
insects, worms of all kinds, scale, larvae, and fungus. It is harmless 
to trees or plants and will not stain. A trial will convince you that 
Ormocide is superior to anything in the market, and is a preparation 
which will solve all your insect troubles. Write for samples and 
literature. B. Ormont, 104-106 John St., New York City. We 
also analyze and make reports on fertilizers, waters, foods, soils, 
and all agricultural products.
