INSECTICIDE-GUIDE 
Fop Aphis, and Plant-Lice 
Use Black Leaf 40, Cubor, Destruxol, Evergreen, Gar¬ 
den Yolck, Red Arrow, or Union Oil Spray. 
For Chewing Insects of all kinds, when the leaves, stems, 
or buds show signs of being eaten; and for thrip 
Use Arsenate of Lead, Cubor or Cubor Dust, Dutox, 
Evergreen, Floragard, Garden Caltox, Kryolite, or Paris 
Green. 
For Scales and Mealy-Bug 
Use Destruxol Emulsion, Mystic Spray, Nicona, Rosin 
Spray, Triona, Volck (Nursery or Greenhouse), or 
Union Oil Spray. 
For Mildew, Rust or Blight 
Use Bordeaux Mixture, Fungtrogen, Fungusol, Qua- 
Sul, or Dusting Sulphur. 
Generally speaking, a combination spray is best for a 
very small garden, while one specific remedy under each 
of the above four heads will be found cheaper for the 
larger garden or estate. 
Insecticide-Descriptions 
Arsenate of Lead is an insidious poison, not recom¬ 
mended for edible products. 
Black Leaf 40, Nicotine 40%, is a poison, useful only 
against aphis and plant-lice. 
Bordeaux Mixture is a combination of Copper sulphate 
and lime, used for mildew and fruit-rots. 
Cubor 
Plant Insecticide 
Cubor is non-poisonous to animal life, but will kill all 
forms of insect life, both through contact and stomach. 
Dutox contains Barium fluosilicate, a less 
dangerous poison than Arsenate of Lead, used 
similarly. 
Destruxol is a poison, containing nicotine 
and cyanide, but effective against red spider 
and mildew as well as aphis. 
Destruxol Emulsion is similar, with the ad¬ 
dition of mineral and vegetable oils to con¬ 
trol scale. 
Evergreen, like Cubor, is a pyrethrum-ro- 
tenone spray, with similar properties. 
Floragard is a dust, containing Manganese 
Arsenate, less dangerous than Lead Arsenate, 
and cleaner, leaving no residue. 
Garden Caltox is almost identical with 
Dutox. 
Garden Volck contains nicotine and mineral 
oils; similar to Destruxol Emulsion. 
Kryolite is almost identical with Dutox and 
Garden Caltox. 
Fungtrogen is particularly effective against mildew; 
leaves no residue. 
Fungusol controls mildew and checks rust; contains 
Destruxol also, which see. 
Mystic is an oil spray especially for mealy-bug. 
Nicona is an oil spray for scales, also containing nicotine 
for aphis-kill. 
Paris Green, an arsenical poison, useful against thrip, 
and in sow-bug-baits. 
Red Arrow, similar in content and results to Evergreen. 
Rosin Spray, as effective against scales and mealy-bug 
as any spray, but hard to mix. 
Triona is very similar to Nicona. 
Qua-Sul is a liquid sulphur spray for rusts and mil¬ 
dew. 
Volck, in Nursery or Greenhouse strengths, controls 
scales. 
Union Oil Spray is an “all-round” spray like Garden 
Volck.
