Cream City Dry Arsenate of Lead 
Contains approximately 33% arsenic oxide, therefore has maximum 
killing power. Due to its fineness, is easily and uniformly sprayed, 
sticks longer to the plants and therefore gives the highest efficiency and 
economy. 
Cream City Nitrate of Soda is a fertilizer which gives the plants an 
early start and supplies the necessary nitrogen.

Outdoor Storage for Vegetables. 
All of the popular horticultural 
papers give much space at this 
time of the year in telling how to 
store vegetables outdoors. These 
plans appear very simple and 
plausible but are rarely practical. 
The most popular is “barrel” 
storage. Just place a barrel on 
its side, fill with cabbage or other 
vegetables and cover the barrel 
with several inches (or is it feet?) 
of straw and earth. You may 
then go out from time to time dur- 
ing the winter and pick fresh 
vegetables. Maybe. It depends. 
Up where Brother Irving Smith 
lives if you get your vegetables in 
the barrel early enough, say Sep- 
tember 20th, there will be snow 
enough so that no other covering 
is needed until May at least. 
Farther south where we have 
twenty below zero for a few 
nights it would require all the 
covering available in three coun- 
ties to keep out frost. This spell 
may be followed by two weeks of 
thaw and so on. It depends. We 
hope it works and hope several of 
our war gardeners of inquiring 
turn of mind will try the barrel 
root-cellar this winter using, how- 
ever, only such vegetables that 
can be readily spared. 
The city gardener who has his 
heating plant in a cement floored 
basement finds the storage of veg- 
etables a perplexing problem that 
no one has satisfactorily solved 
for him to date. Horticultural 
papers contain only theory. We 
await a real solution. The most 
helpful suggestion we have heard 
is to use boxes or barrels without 
bottom so that the vegetables may 
have the advantage of the mois- 
ture that comes through the ce- 
ment. Another: cover these boxes 
with the winter potatoes to fur- 
ther hold moisture.
