such troubles are attributed to poor seed, poisoned soil or the 
weather. An effective control is to use V /2 oz. of Ansul For¬ 
maldehyde Dust per square foot of area of soil in beds, benches 
or flats I /2 inches deep. Where soil is 3 to 4 inches deep use 
2 to 3 oz. of dust. 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $2.00.
