SPRAY MATERIAL 
4076—FLUOSIIilCATE DTTST MIXTXTEE.—This ma 
terial is commonly called F. D. M. It is one of the best 
dusting materials we have yet discovered for Bean Beetles 
and similar insects. It is a very fine powder that floats 
in the air, is easily applied with a dust gun, and has 
proven very effective. Fluosilicate has an advantage over 
the usual poison, because it is an irritant and when the 
beetles get the powder on their feet and legs, they draw 
them through the mouth to cleanse them and in this way 
poison themselves. F. D. M. can be used for Beans, Pota¬ 
toes, Cabbage, and for all chewing insects. It further has 
the advantage of not being such a violent poison as Arsenic 
and is safer to use. We have tried it and can recommend it. 
Price—1 lb. 25c, 6 lbs. $1.00, 10 lbs. $1.75, by ex¬ 
press only. 
4226—BLACK LEAF 40.—This is a highly concentrated 
form of Nicotine Sulphate and makes a most effective spray 
for all soft-bodied sucking insects, such as Aphis, Leaf 
Hopper, Mealy Bugs, etc. One ounce makes 6 gallons of 
effective spray. This mixed with Pish Oil Soap is the best 
all-round spray for flowers. Price—1 oz. 35c, 6 oz. $1.00, 
1 lb. $2.26, 2 lbs. $3.26, by express only. 
4102—SULFODUST.—This is a high grade of Sulphur 
in the best mechanical condition for spreading. It is the 
remedy for Mildew of roses and other plants. May be used 
alone or in combination with other materials. Non-poison- 
ous and mailable. Price—1 lb. 16o, 5 lbs. and over at 
10c lb., postpaid. 
4076— NICOTINE DUST.—This dust contains a high 
percentage of very active Nicotine Sulphate in combination 
with lime, which increases its effectiveness. Nothing bet¬ 
ter can be found for sucking bugs, aphis or plant lice, etc. 
This is the dust for use on melons, cucumbers, squash, etc., 
and for killing most of the insects that destroy flowers. 
It is a poison and cannot be mailed. Price—1 lb. cans 
80c, 6 lb. cans $1.25, by express. 
4077— FUNGI BOBDO.—A form of Copper Sulphate 
which is commonly called Bordeaux Mixture. It is used to 
control certain fungus diseases of the plants such as blight, 
wilt, leaf spot, etc. May be used dry in a powder gun or 
mixed with water for a wet spray. Will mix with Arsenate 
of Lead, Sulphur, etc., for fruit tree spraying. Especially 
recommended for potatoes, tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, 
roses, and fruit trees. Price—1 lb. 30c, 4 lbs. 90c, by 
express. 
DRT LIME SULPHUR.—Used to control the San Jose 
Scale on peach, plum and all stone fruits. It is put up in 
powdered form and can be readily mixed with water as 
needed. Saves a large part of the freight in shipping and 
is otherwise cheaper than the liquid. For the dormant 
spray against such troubles as San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell 
Bark Louse, etc., use 15 lbs. of Dry Lime Sulphur to 50 
gallons of water. For summer spraying against fungus 
diseases, such as Apple Scab, etc., on all seed fruits, such 
as apples, pears, quinces, etc., use from 2 to 3 lbs. of Dry 
Lime Sulphur to 50 gallons of water in combination with 
the usual proportion of Dry Powdered or Paste Arsenate 
of Lead. For the summer spray on all stone fruits such 
as peaches, plums, etc., use from 1 to 1 % lbs. to 50 
gallons of water in combination with the usual strength of 
Arsenate of Lead.

4087— 5-lb. package, $1.60, postpaid. 
4087— 10-lb. package, $2.50, by express.

ARSENATE OF LEAD POWDERED. — The standard 
poison for tobacco worms, potato bugs, and all chewing 
insects. It can be used in solution as a wet spray or dry 
as a dust. As a wet spray, one pound will make from 20 
to 50 gallons according to the tree or crop sprayed. For 
use as a powder, do not mix with ashes or any carrier, 
but apply with a dust gun just as it comes from the can. 
For tobacco, from three to five pounds per acre will be 
needed, according to the size of the plants. For potatoes, 
use from five to seven pounds per acre. Arsenate of Lead 
is a poison and cannot be sent through the mails.

Case of 6 4-lb. packages for $4.25. 
PROTECT YOUR GARDEN 
Pyiethrum is now being recognized as the best and safest 
insecticide for general purpose use. This material is harm¬ 
less to man and all small animals but readily kills both the 
chewing and the sucking insects. It is mailable, hence it 
is easy to obtain. Of all the pyrethrum products being 
sold today, we have selected Evergreen as being the best, 
because it is made from selected stocks of the pyrethrum 
flowers and tested for its strength. Thus when we sell 
Evergreen, we feel that our customers will get results. 
FOR MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE 
After trying all kinds of sprays for this pest, we have 
come to the conclusion that a Pyrethrum spray is about as 
good as any and better than most of them. Further, it is 
safe and easy to use. For the Bean Beetle make a little 
stronger solution and apply with a good compressed air 
sprayer that will throw the mixture under the leaves. 
HOW TO USE IT 
The one-ounce bottle will make six gallons of normal 
strength spray. The six-ounce bottle will make 36 gallons 
of spray. The desired quantity of Evergreen should be 
thoroughly mixed with a small quantity of water and then 
added to the total quantity. A little good soap, heated 
until it is dissolved in a little water and put into the 
spray will make it stick better. 
Price—1 oz. 30c. 6 ozs. 80c, 1 pint $1.60, quart $2.76, 
postpaid.
