More Vegetables and Better Flowers Through 
Controlling Diseases with SEMESAN 
Preventing the many damaging diseases of flowers and vegetables that 
are carried on the seed, by disinfection of the seed with Semesan. It 
destroys the destructive diseases on the seed and protects them from the 
roots 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 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. One ounce treats 15 to 
30 pounds of seed. Directions in every can. 
Prices: 2 oz. 50c; 1 lb. $2.75; 5 lbs. $13.00. Free pamphlet.
