Ansul Formaldehyde Dust 
For the Control of “Damping-Off” 
Few growers realize that such diseases as “Damping-Off” and 
rots of seedlings are caused by living germs. Too frequently 
such troubles are attributed to poor seed, poisoned soil or the 
weather. An effective control is to use V /2 oz. of Ansul For¬ 
maldehyde Dust per square foot of area of soil in beds, benches 
or flats 21/2 inches deep. Where soil is 3 to 4 inches deep use 
2 to 3 oz. of dust. 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., #2.00.
