SEMESAN — Makes Good Seed Grow Better! 
Actual experience on our own farm and greenhouses 
has convinced us that it pays to use Semesan. In our 
greenhouses, Semesan has proved very reliable in pre¬ 
venting “damping off” of seedlings. We formerly went 
through the laborious process of “steaming” our green¬ 
house soil to kill the “damping off” fungus, but now we 
simply water the flats with the normal Semesan solution 
with equally good results. Since we started to use 
Semesan we have not steamed a bit of soil. 
For Corn and Beans. Sometimes due to weather conditions 
beyond the grower's control, corn and beans of high germination 
do not grow, but rot in the ground. On one planting of sweet corn 
seed of high germination treated with Semesan we had practically double the stand 
which we obtained from the same seed planted at the same time but not txeated. 
The use of a few ounces of Semesan nearly doubled the yield of corn for us. 
The process of treating is so easy and the cost so small that we believe growers cannot 
afford to plant seed corn or beans without giving it this protection. 
Sweet Corn treated with Semesan Jr. can be planted earlier making for earlier 
maturity and higher prices. 
Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy form of crop insur¬ 
ance. m
