Kill Insects with Tobacco Insecticide Soap. 
For a long time we looked about for a really good and satisfactory Insect Exterminator, which we could re- 
commend to our customers, and after experimenting with everything known, we find that the Tobacco Insbqt- 
,cidf Soap is the most effectual. It is made from a powerful form of tobacco gum ; is absolutely safe to ha e, 
and will not injure the tenderest growth of plants. It is used dissolved in hot water, m the proportion of an 
ounce to a gallon of water. With this solution the plants are sprinkled, syringed, sponged and one or two 
applications will exterminate any kind of insect. It is sure death 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 insects. 
It is sure death to the cabbage-worm, for which purpose we sold large quantities last year, and saved many 
a fine cabbage-crop from the ravages of the worms. The most effectual preventative for moths known. 25 cents 
for seven-ounce bars by mail, postpaid. 
Vegetable Plants. 
Cabbage, early and late, all kinds of Tomatoes, Sweet-Potatoes, Egg-plants, Peppers and Celery, by the 
dozen, hundred or thousand. Prices upon application. 
Pot Tomato Plants. 
Tomato plants started in hotbeds in February and potted off make strong, stalky plants that never wilt or 
stop growing when planted in the open ground in April or May ; they will ripen tomatoes two weeks earlier than 
plants raised the usual way. We offer strong, pot-grown plants of the Dwarf Champion tomato and Living- 
stone’s varieties, the earliest kinds grown, for 5 cents each, 35 cents per dozen, $ 2.50 per too. Plant a few for 
early use.
