preparedness counts most ! 
A winter of unprecedented 
mildness has carried myr- 
iads of larvae and insect 
eggs into the new season 
in perfect shape. Unusual- 
ly advanced vegetation 
offers many tender morsels to the ravenous 
hordes. Are you prepared to meet your 
garden’s enemies? Take steps right now, to 
secure the handy Slug Shot Duster which 
you’ll find with 
Hammond’s Slug Shot,

Since 1880, Slug Shot has helped the nation to 
better crops in garden and field. For forty consecu- 
tive years it has been a safe remedy to fight the 
Colorado Potato Beetle, the most costly enemy of 
America’s second greatest crop. It is also recognized 
as a most reliable remedy to fight Cabbage Worms, 
Cucumber and Melon Beetles, Aster Beetles and other 
leaf-chewing insects. While it does the work well, 
it has never been known to injure plant, human or 
animal life.
