increased stands of more vigorous, healthy plants that yield 
larger, quality crops. Sprinkling of the seedling beds with 
Semesan solution effectively prevents damping-off. Recom¬ 
mended especially for seeds, bulbs, gladiolus corms, dahlia 
tubers, and rose bushes. Easily applied as a liquid or dust.
