Best Spinach Seed 
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 better vegetable to furnish ian early 
supply of “greens” than Spinach. It requires rich soil, the richer the better, and 
can be sown during J anuary, February and March, any time when the ground Is 
not frozen. It germinates freely In cold weather and Is a rapid grower. As 
“greens” its quality 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 per acre.

Why Not Garry “Bug Insurance”? 
There are all sorts of insurance, life, fire, accident, cyclone and others. 
Why not “Bug Insurance"?—the insurance of your vegetable or garden 
crops against damage or destruction by Insect pests. Everymarketgar- 
dener 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 
present 
Bu^ Death Kills the Bugs 
and, at the same time, does not injure the planter 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 small degree as a fertilizer. Do you know 
of any other insecticide that this is true of? To the best of our knowledge 
Rug Death is the only Insecticide now made that is both effective on the 
bugs and at the same time is harmless alike to the plants, all animals and 
hum.an beings.' It’s sure death to all leaf-eating bugs audit 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 otten almost as bad at that of the bugs. Now, that Bug 
Death is obtainable, you don’t have to use a poison to kill the bugs for, 
strange as it may seem. 
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 effec¬ 
tive 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 eatthe potato plants arid beans and all theother bugs 
that make life a burden for the gardener who grows yegetables in bug- 
infested localities. You need not be afraid to ieaye 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 arouiid the 
place, for it won’t hurt the children or your live stock if they should hap¬ 
pen to 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 into 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 14 years in this country and Canada and we have never known 
of a single Instance where person or animal was ever injured by it, 
Don’t Wait Until the Bu^s Have Eaten Up Half Yonr 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 
your 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 neighborhood. It will be a bug funeral instead 
of a large increase in the family and in the meantime your crops are go¬ 
ing on to maturity uninjured. You may think it strange that we say 
“dusted orsprayed” ontheplants. That’s exactly correct and one method, 
is as good as the other. If you 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 
Itoff. If you have a sprayer, 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.
