-TIME AND HARVEST, 
TILLIN GH AST’S 
CABBAGE PEST POVDER. 
For many years we, in common with thousands of our patrons, have been experi¬ 
menting in order to find some substance which could be safely applied to Cabbages (as 
well as other vegetables) to rid them from destructive insect pests. No sooner does the 
cabbage seed break its shell in germination than it is beset with fleas, which, if left 
unmolested, will entirely destroy, or greatly injure the young plant. If, perchance it 
escape, it is soon attacked by various forms of plant lice, and if the gods of luck pro¬ 
tect it from this devastation, it is only to enable it to supply food to far more gluttonous 
enemies, in the form of devouring worms, which not only eat the best, but befoul what 
they leave, so that unless constantly vigilant, the portion of the hard working planter, 
who thus works “on shares” with his enemies, is exceedingly small and hard to find. 
Those who by bitter experience realize the truth of these stubborn facts, will beat 
appreciate the value of a discovery which has recently been made, which, in short,- is a 
harmless vegetable substance that may be freely applied to growing cabbages at any 
stage of their existence, without the least danger of injurious effects to either the plant 
or the person who eats it, and yet which 
Will Completely and Effectually protect it 
from all insect enemies. 
Never before was anything offered which is so 
SAFE! CHEAP! SURE! 
As it cannot fail to go at once into general use, not only among Cabbage Growers, 
but as a destroyer of many other kinds of insects, we are preparing to meet the enor¬ 
mous demand which is sure to come. 
Directions for Using. 
As A Fumigator for Greenhouse use it is unexcelled, A small quantity of the 
powder burned, and the fumes and smoke blown among plants will quickly rid them of 
all the lower forms of plant lice. 
The Powder when sprinkled freely or dusted through the plants with Woodason’s, 
or any other good bellows, will soon rid them of fleas and worms. 
A DECOCTION made by steeping a pound of powder and diluting with from ten to 
twenty gallons of water, and sprinkling it upon the plants will be found an effective and 
economical method of applying it.
