BEST SPINACH SEED 
Hastings’ Aragon Spinach 
Our specially grown spinach is much superior to the spinach seed 
usually sold in every particular. Its germination is stronger and better 
the growth larger and more vigorous and hardier. There is no bettei 
vegetable to furnish an early supply of “greens” than spinach. It re 
quires rich soil, the richer the better, and can be sown during January. 
February and March, any time when the ground is not frozen. It germi- 
nates freely in cold weather and is a rapid grower. As “greens” its qual- 
ity is unsurpassed, and were it more generally known in the lower South 
almost every one would plant it. Sow 1 ounce to 100 feet of row ; 8 pounds

WHY NOT CARRY “BUG INSURANCE”? 
• There are all sorts of insurance, life, fire, accident, cyclone and 
others. Why not “Bug Insurance”? — the insurance of your vege- 
table or garden crops against damage or destruction by insect pests. 
Every market gardener who grows vegetables on a large scale has 
to fight bugs of various kinds; they are often destructive in the 
home garden unless taken at the start. Potato bugs are especially 
troublesome in the central South at the present time. 
Bug Death Kills the Bugs 
and, at the same time, does not injure the plant or its growth as does 
every insecticide or bug poison that contains arsenic in one form or 
another, as practically all of them do. Paris Green, London Purple, 
Arsenate of Lead and other forms of arsenic will kill the bugs, but 
unless carefully used either kill the plants or else “burn” them so 
that they will not make satisfactory crops. On green vegetables, 
such as cabbage, they are positively dangerous to those who eat the 
vegetables afterwards. Instead of Bug Death burning or killing the 
vegetable plants to which it is applied it actually acts in a beneficial 
way. Do you know of any other insecticide that this is true of? To 
the best of our knowledge Bug Death is the only insecticide now 
made that is both effective on the bugs and at the same time is harm- 
less alike to the plants, all animals and human beings. It’s sure 
death to all leaf-eating bugs and it positively will not “burn” the 
plants like Paris Green and other poisons of that class. The damage 
to tender growth of vegetable plants by the application of Paris 
Green is often almost as bad as that of the bugs. Now, that Bug 
Death is obtainable, you don’t have to use a poison to kill the bugs. 
Why not insure your vegetable crops and your Income from them 
by the use of “Bug Death,” the best all around insecticide that we 
know of, a preparation deadly to almost every insect destructive to 
vegetable crops. We have known Bug Death for many years, have 
used it ourselves and seen it used by others and know from personal 
experience just how effective and satisfactory it is. That’s why we 
can recommend it fully to you. It ought to be kept on hand by every 
gardener (either for market or home use), so it can be applied as 
soon as insects make their appearance. 
Bug Death Is Not a Poison 
to human beings and animals, but it is sure death to leaf-eating bugs 
of all kinds, the bugs that eat the potato plants and beans and all 
the other bugs that make life a burden for tbe gardener who grows 
vegetables in bug-infested localities. You need not be afraid to leave 
Bug Death around. We doubt if it would hurt you any if you ate 
some of it, although we would not advise you trying a mess of it for 
breakfast. It is a fact, however, that you can dust it on cabbage one 
day and eat that cabbage tomorrow with no bad effects. It is most 
effective on bugs and that’s what you want to kill, and at the same 
time you need have no fear in keeping it around the place, for it 
won’t hurt the children or your live stock if they should happen to i 
get into it by accident or through ignorance. Many, a child and 
animal has been poisoned by getting into Paris Green left around or 
else eating the plants. That kind of an accident can’t happen with 
Bug Death around, for it won’t hurt them if they do get info it. It’s 
safe for every kind of living animals, but bugs of various kinds 
simply can’t stand it. This is very peculiar, but it’s a fact. Bug 
Death has been in use now for about 15 years in this country and 
Canada and we have never known of a single instance where persons 
or animals were ever injured by it. 
strange as that may seem. 
DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE BUGS HAVE EATEN UP HALF YOUR CROP 
before you begin to think about a remedy. You can be reasonably 
sure Mr. and Mrs. Bug are going to come around and try and raise 
several Bug families in your patch. The right way, the safest way, 
is to keep Bug Death around the house and at the first sign of Mr. 
Bug’s appearance in vour crops either dust or spray the plants with 
Bug Death and Mr. and Mrs. Bug will shortly be in a condition that 
will make the raising of “Bug” families impossible in your neighbor- 
hood. It will be a bug funeral instead of a large increase in the 
uninjured. You may think it strange that we say “dusted or spray- 
ed” on the plants. That’s exactly correct and one method is as good 
as the other. If vou have a powder gun or shaker you can dust the 
fine powder on the plants when they are wet with rain or dew and 
it will stick so tight that it will take the hardest kind of rain to 
wash any of it off. If vou have a spra.ver, and are working on a 
large scale, dissolve about 12 to 15 pounds of Bug Death in 12 quarts 
of clean water and spray it on. This much will go over an acre of 
vegetables.
