BUG INSURANCE 
Much as we may dislike to acknowledge it, bugs are something 
that we have to acknowledge must be taken into consideration in 
most of the larger gardening operations anywhere in the country. 
Bug depredations exist alike North, South, East and 'VV.est. 
You have all heard of and probably carry some sort of insur- 
ance, fire, life, accident or some one or more of the dozens of kinds 
of insurance that are offered and needed. We want to talk to you 
about another kind of insurance. Not a man or woman who farms 
or gardens but who has been bothered with bugs of various kinds 
in recent years. You have, or we miss our guess. If not, you have 
certainly been fortunate. 
Why not “Bug Insurance”? Not necessarily a guarantee against 
bug attacks but a guarantee against any serious results of those 
bug attacks. Every market gardener, every trucker who grows 
vegetables has to guard against attacks by various kinds of bugs, 
and the same thing is true of many home gardens. Why not in- 
sure your crops against serious bug damage? 
npATU Bug Death kills the bugs and at the same 
■ ■■ time does not injure the plant or its regu- 
lar growth as does Paris Green, London Purple, Arsenate of Lead 
or the dozen or more forms of arsenical poisons that are offered 
as “bug-killers.” Instead of Bug Death killing or injuring the 
plants (when applied right) it actually acts as a fertilizer in 
small degree. Do you know of any other insecticide of which this 
is true? Bug Death is the only general insecticide known that is 
effective on bugs and is at the same time harmless to both plants 
and animals. It’s sure death to leaf-eating bugs and it does not 
“burn” the plants like Paris Green and other arsenical poisons. 
Keep “Bug Death” on hand and when Mr. and Mrs. Bug settle 
on your premises to raise a family you can easily turn this into a . 
“bug funeral” instead of leaving the way open for a large and able 
bodied increase in bug population in your garden. Order it now.

Stonecypher’s 
Potato Bug Killer 
This stomach poison will kill 
all leaf-eating insects. Bugs are 
often disastrous to Irish Pota- 
toes, Squash, Cucumbers, Canta- 
loupes and Tomatoes and for use 
in the home garden as well as 
for truck gardens we recommend Stonecypher’s Potato Bug 
Killer to kill these bugs. . 
This insecticide is stronger and more effective than Bug Death 
and it does not injure even the tender plants unless applied too 
thickly. 
It is in powder form and comes in a cylinder shaker box or 
can, so is very handy and convenient to use. No duster, sifter 
or pump is needed as the shaker top of the container makes a 
duster of it. 
Stonecypher’s is put up in one-pound cans (12 ounces net guar- 
anteed — 2 pounds, postage weight.) 
You want to be sure of results when you start fighting bugs 
and you should always keep a plentiful supply of a good, reliable 
insecticide on hand. Stonecypher’s is sure death to all biting or 
leaf-eating insects, costs little and is easily applied. Order it by 
the dozen cans or packages so to have a plenty on hand for in- 
stant use. It is guaranteed to kill the Irish Potato Bug or Beetle 
or money will be gladly refunded.

Stonecypher’s is real Bug Insurance and it does its work thor- 
oughly. It doesn’t run bugs away. It kills the bugs.) 
OTHER INSECTICIDES, FUNGICIDES AND SUPPLIES 
Dry Bordeaux and Paris Green Com- 
pound (Sterling worth). A combined insecticide and fungi- 
cide. Many of our customers want an insecticide more 
poisonous than Bug Death and, in that, more active. They also 
would like a preparation for controlling fungous growth and be 
able to dust or spray for both at the same time. This mixture or 
compound stops blights, rots, mildews, anthracnose, and other 
fungous growth and also kills such insects as Apple Maggot, Bud 
Moth, Canker Worms, Coddling Moth, Plum Curculio, Slugs, Cab- 
bage Worms, Striped Cucumber Beetle, Squash Bugs, Rose Bugs, 
Potato Bug or Beetle, etc. It can be dusted on dry or mixed with 
water and sprayed. This is a quick acting compound and will 
give you absolutely satisfactory results. Dry Bordeaux and Paris 
Green is easy to keep on hand, easy to handle and is our most 
valuable preparation, equally good against biting insects and 
fungous growth. Order some of this and keep it on hand to use 
the day you first notice an attack on your plants. Don’t wait until 
too late. Simple directions on boxes. One-pound box, 60 cents; 
5-pound box, $2.00; postpaid. 
DryLlme-Sulfur(Rogers) 
to practically every fruit grower and all also know the trouble and 
unpleasantness in handling Liquid Lime-Sulfur. Rogers Dry 
Lime-Sulfur is the standard solution in dry powdered form — the 
first and only one of its kind on the market. Proven by fruit 
growers and practically all Experiment Stations. Protected by U. 
S. Patent. Pound box, 50c; 5-lb. box, $1.75; postpaid. Not prepaid:

TohdCCO (Sterlingworth). Powdered tobacco is a 
■ wMciwyv standard insecticide, often used in con- 
junction with Whale Oil Soap and Bordeaux mixtures. The striped 
cucumber (squash and melon) beetle and flea-beetle are repelled 
with this insecticide. Pound box with directions, 25c ; postpaid. 
\Alha|A Oil (Sterlingworth.) Genuine Whale Oil Soap 
wll 'vvith Tobacco Powder. This mixture com- 
bines the values of both, effective against 
Wl&ll I San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Scale, Aphis, 
most Plant Lice and Spiders and other sucking insects on trees, 
shrubs, plants, vines, rose bushes, etc. Pound box, 3.5c; postpaid. 
HaHa (Sterlingworth). This is poisonous to insect life, but is 
nCMV niuch less injurious to human beings than the arsenic 
compounds, as Pari.s Green. It is very similar to White Hellebore 
and has the same properties. Since Hellebore has become so scarce 
and high priced we are offering Hebo, a special Sterlingworth prep- 
aration, to take its place. It is used on such plants as cabbage, 
especially late in the season when it is considered unsafe to use 
Paris Green or other arsenates which are poisonous to human 
beings. Half pound box, 25 cents; pound box, 40 cents; postpaid. 
DIsint TsililAf'e (Sterlingworth). A powerful and odorless 
■ AMIdai plant grower. These plant tablets pro- 
mote a luxuriant, vigorous growth of branch, leaf and flower. We 
are told that they “double the bloom.” These tablets, dissolved in 
water, build up the soil and supply scientifically the elements nec- 
essary to a wholesome growth. Try them on your house plants 
and they will become strong and healthy. Trial size, 10 cents; me- 
dium size (100 tablets for 35 plants for 3 months), 25 cents; large 
size (250 tablets), 50 cents; postpaid. 
CiffAV For distributing Bug Death 
Mcre-an-nour 9ITier and other insecticides in dry 
or powdered form. By using this, you can supply powders evenly 
and easily, with little or no waste, and as this sifter is very sim- 
ple, with nothing about it to wear out or get out of order, it is a 
mighty good idea to buy one and have it on hand, ready to use 
at any time. Each, 75 cents; postpaid. 
DIaIcai/ DlietAf those who only want a small distrib- 
utor for dry or powdered insecticides 
and fungicides we have Dickey Dusters. They are fine for those with 
only small gardens or a few plants to dust. Price, 50c; postpaid. 
The hand sower that scatters 
evenly, thoroughly and easily. 
Use it with any seeds that can be sown broadcast — or with ground 
bone, ashes or fertilizers.. A Cyclone will pay for itself in three or 
four hours’ work. It gives absolutely even distribution and so will 
make three bushels do the work of four. It has a special slope feed 
board, a very important feature found only in the Cyclone, which 
keeps the hopper properly filled without tilting the machine, in- 
suring a uniform"flow and affords a great convenience to the oper- 
ator in carrying the seeder. It also has an automatic feed adjust- 
ment, giving a positive force feed throughout; quickly adjusted, 
started or stopped and can’t clog — no waste of seed. The distrib- 
uting wheel is strong and rigid, made of metal with no soldered 
joints. Everyone needs a hand seeder. Price, $3.00; postpaid.
