SEMES AN —Makes Good Seed Grow Better! 
Actual experience on our own farm and greenhouses has convinced us 
that it pays to use Semesan. In our greenhouses, Semesan has proved 
very reliable in preventing “damping off” of seedlings. We formerly 
went through the laborious process of “steaming” our greenhouse soil to 
kill the “damping off” fungus, but now we simply water the flats with 
the normal Semesan solution with equally good results. Since we 
started to use Semesan we have not steamed a bit of soil. 
For Corn and Beans. Sometimes due to weather conditions beyond 
the grower’s control, corn and beans of high germination do not grow, 
but rot in the ground. On one planting of sweet corn seed of high germi¬ 
nation treated with Semesan we had practically double the stand which 
we obtained from the same seed planted at the same time but not treated. 
The use of a few ounces of Semesan nearly doubled the yield of 
corn for us. The process of treating is so easy and the cost so small 
that we believe growers cannot afford to plant seed corn or beans without 
giving it this protection. 
Sweet Corn treated with Semesan Jr. can be planted earlier making 
for earlier maturity and higher prices. 
Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy form 
of crop insurance. 
You Can Buy Semesan in Four Forms

form to prevent or control effectively many diseases and
