Kill Insects with Tobacco Insecticide Soap. 
For a long time we looked about for a really good and satisfactory Insect Exteiminatcr, which we could 
recommend to our customers, and after experimenting with everything known, we find that the Tobacco 
Insecticide Soap is the most effectual. It is made from a powerful form of tobacco gum : is absolutely safe 
to handle, and will not injure the tenderest growth of plants. It is used dissolved in hot water, in the pro- 
portion of an ounce of soap to a gallon of water. With this solution the plants are sprinkled, syringed or 
sponged; one or two applications will exterminate any kind of insect. It is sure dealh to the greenfly or 
black-fly (aphis), scale, mealy-bug, red-spider, etc. If used once or twice a month on plants, they will never 
be troubled with iusects. 
It is sure death to the cabbage-worm, for killing which we sold large quantities of the soap last year, and 
saved many a fine cabbage crop from the ravages of the worms. It is, also, the most effectual preventive 
for moths known. Seven-ounce bars by mail, postpaid, 25 cts.
