BUG INSURANCE 
Mncli as we may dislike to acknowledge it, bugs are something 
that we have to acknowdedge must l)e taken into consideration in 
most of tile larger gardening operations anywhere in the country. 
P>ug depredations exist alike North, South, East and West. 
Bug Death kills the hugs and at tlie same time does not injure the 
plant or its regular grovvtli as does Paris Green, London Purple, 
Arsenate of Lead or the dozen or more forms of arsenical poisons 
tliat are offered as “l)ug-killers.” Instead of Bug Death killing or 
injuring the plants (wheil applied right) it actually acts as a fer¬ 
tilizer ill small degree. Do you know of any other insecticide that 
this is true of? Bug Death is the only general insecticide known 
that is effective on bugs and is at the same time liarmless 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, 
such as are generally used. 
"Bug Death” is the best general insecticide we know. Keep “Bug 
Death” on hand and when Mr. and Mrs. Bug settle on your prem¬ 
ises to raise a family you can easily turn this into a “bug funeral” 
instead of leaving tlie way open for a large and able bodied in¬ 
crease in liug population in your garden. Order it now. It is real 
"bug insurance.” See postiiaid prices below. 
Calcium Arsenate for Boll Weevils 
The Cotton Boll Weevil must go. Calcium Arsenate has been 
found to actually kill the boll weevil by the “dusting” method and 
it also is a standard poison for spraying Apples, Pears, Grapes, 
Potatoes, Garden plants, etc. The United States Government en¬ 
dorses Calcium Arsenate in the highest terms after Intensely ex¬ 
perimenting for a poison to kill the boll weevil since 1913. You 
must be very careful in l)uying it; the only kind to use being the 
highest possible quality made under the Government analysis. Un¬ 
less yon w’ant to waste your time and money, be sure to get the very 
lightest, most fluffy, neutral, non-burning, dry Ar.senate of Lime 
and ma<ie according to the accepted Government analysis. We have 
,the highest grade Calcium Arsenate made and strictly guaranteed 
as to Government requirements for Boll Weevils. Lise 5 pounds per 
acre on cotton. Special Calcium Arsenate Booklet, telling the whole 
story, free on re(iuest. Postpaid: Pound package, 76 cents; 6 lbs.,
