TREAT SEEDS and BULBS 
WITH SEMESAN 
Semesan Controls Disease and Increases Yield 
Prevent the many damaging diseases of flowers and 
vegetables that are carried on the seed and in the soil, 
by disinfection of the seed with Semesan. It destroys the 
destructive diseases on the seed and protects them from 
the rots in the soil, which results in increased stands of 
more vigorous, healthy plants that yield larger, quality 
crops. Sprinkling of the seedling beds with Semesan solu¬ 
tion effectively prevents damping-off. Recommended espe¬ 
cially for seeds, bulbs, gladiolus corms, dahlia tubers, and 
rose bushes. Easily applied as a liquid or dust. One 
ounce treats 15 to 30 pounds of seed. Directions in every 
can. 
Prices: 2-oz. size, 50c; 1-lb. size, $2.50; 5 lbs., $11.75; 
25 lbs., $46.25. Free pamphlet. Not mailable.
