Noiv—All Together — -Let’s Kill the Bugs. Use Aphicide 
APHICIDE 
(Reg. U. S. Patent Office) 
Aphicide dust insecticides are made by special process, using a com¬ 
bination carrier which not only does not burn the plant but carries the 
nicotine or other poisons in the best form to kill insects. 
Many nicotine dusts are heavy and soggy, in fact, a comparison often 
shows that five pounds of Aphicide No. 10 has approximately the same 
bulk as seven pounds of some other nicotine dusts. The special carrier 
and our process of manufacture makes a dust that is fluffy, fine grained, 
of good adhesive quality, and with the nicotine thoroughly impregnated 
in each particle of dust. Aphicide has supplanted nearly all other 
insecticides in the Rocky Ford district (one of the largest vine crop pro¬ 
ducing sections in America) for the control of Aphis and Cucumber Beetles. 
APHICIDE No. 10 KILLS APHIS 
On melons, cucumbers, watermelons, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli 
and peas. In fact, any resistant aphis is readily killed by the use of 
this powerful nicotine dust. Aphicide No. 10 contains 10 per cent Black 
Leaf 40 in a special carrier which will not burn the leaves. Price—(5 lbs., 
$2.00) (10 2-lb. cans, $7.50) (25-lb. cams, $6.50 each) prepaid by express. 
Not prepaid—(100 lbs., $22.40). 
APHICIDE No. 15 KILLS BLACK SQUASH BUGS 
Harlequin Beetles and many other resistant insects. Rid your place 
of Roaches by putting Aphicide No. 15 where they are found so they 
will have to cross it. « 
Don’t allow the Harlequin Beetles to destroy your cabbage and other 
crops. We know you can control them because we have done so 100%. 
This is the strongest nicotine dust yet offered and it kills practically 
all the old squash bugs and easily exterminates all young squash bugs 
when properly applied. Price 1 —(5 lbs., $2.50) (25-lb. can, $8.65) prepaid 
by express. Not prepaid—(100 lbs., $30.90). 
APHICIDE No. 21 KILLS BOTH SUCKING AND 
EATING INSECTS 
It is especially recommended for control of striped cucumber beetles, 
potato beetles, apple worms, army worms, flea beetles and leaf hoppers. 
Will also kill aphis. Price—(5 lbs., $2.20) (25-lb. can, $7.50) prepaid by 
express. Not prepaid—(100 lbs., $26.40). 
WORMICIDE No. 40 
(Trade Mark) 
Here is a very effective dust for the control of worms and other 
eating insects. 
Dust cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, asters, etc., to destroy 
the worms and beetles. L 
We recommend this instead of an arsenate dust as it is fully a^ 
effective an insecticide and not so poisonous to human beings and animals. 
The active ingredient is Sodium F'luositicate and the carrier edible. 
To Kill Grasshoppers mix dry 2% pounds of Wormicide No. 40 
and 10 pounds of bran. Add to sufficient water to moisten the dry mix¬ 
ture one pound of sugar or molasses and one teaspoonful of Oil of Anise 
and stir well then moisten the dry mixture and scatter where the hop¬ 
pers are found. Early in the morning is best. 
Price—Wormicide No. 40—(5 lbs., $1.50) (25 lbs., $5.25) prepaid by 
express. Not prepaid (100 lbs., $14.00') (500 lbs., $65.00) (1,000 lbs., 
$125.00). 
Please Note Aphicide and Wormicide Cannot Be Mailed 
HOW TO USE APHICIDE 
(Do not attempt to dust when the wind is blowing. Early morning 
is the best time. Use a strong blast of air and only enough Aphicide to 
produce a smoky dust.) 
Dusting Aphis on Vine Crops 
The results obtained from Aphicide depend largely on the thorough¬ 
ness of the application. Use a dust gun which blows the Aphicide No. 10 
with such force that it forms a smoky dust. In this form it will reach 
practically all the Aphids and kill them much better than where the 
dust falls more or less in bunches. It is the dust and gas covering the 
insect’s body that kills. The dust should be directed upward against 
the under side of the leaves. Be very thorough. Dust all plants within 
thirty feet of the infested plant which should be staked and the stakes 
left until certain all Aphids are dead. Aphids reproduce so rapidly that 
with 90 per cent results the original number are back in two days; 
95 per cent results the original number are back in four days; 98 per cent 
killed and you have a new crop as large as ever in eight days. Go over 
the fields every few days looking for the Aphids and other insects and 
do not allow them to get started. 
The amount of dust required varies considerably. Usually about six 
pounds per acre is sufficient where the infestation is not allowed to 
become general. 
DUSTING ROW CROPS SUCH AS BEETS, BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER, 
CABBAGE AND ONIONS 
Either hand or power dusters may be used. Discharge the dust 
downward, using a good blast of air. It is essential that all parts of 
the infested plant leaf or branch be thoroughly covered with a thin 
coating of Aphicide. 
Use Aphicide No. 10 for the control of Thrip on onions. 
Wormicide No. 40 contains a stomach poison and is excellent for de¬ 
stroying W'orms and leaf-eating insects. We recommend its use for the 
control of worms on Cauliflower, Cabbage and Broccoli; it does not use 
hydrated lime for a carrier; in fact the special carrier is edible and 
worms eat it readily. This dust is poisonous and must not be used 
within a few days of cutting time. Dust thoroughly four or five times 
during the growing season. Amount of dust required, from 10 to 40 
pounds per acre. 
From Wall Lake, la. —‘‘We cannot keep Greenhouse without your 
Aphicide No. 10.”
