TOBACCO DUST 
Save your Radishes and Turnips from worms. 
Strew it generously in the row before sowing. It 
acts as a repellent for many insects infesting the 
soil. Deserves much more general use. Dusted over 
Cucumbers, Melons and Squashes it helps greatly 
to rid these vines of the destructive bugs. Apply in 
the morning when the plants are covered with dew.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 
cure” applies to the use of insecticides. Get the 
bugs before they get your plants.
