INSECTICIDES 
How To Beat the Bug 
Bugaboo 
Ask any ten garden'minded folks what the 
best thing is to beat the bugs, and they 
will each have a different remedy. And 
naturally so, because there are so many 
good insecticides on the market. There 
are, however, a certain few which we for 
one reason or another have found partic- 
ularly effective. Here they are. So let us 
help you beat the bug bugaboo. 
Red Arrow Spray 
KILLS ALL PLANT PESTS 
The Most Highly Concentrated Pyrethrum Insect Spray 
on the Market 
Red Arrow is an exceedingly powerful non-poisonous insecticide, 
especially adapted to agricultural and horticultural purposes, both 
under glass and in the open. Very effective against insects in poultry 
house, kennel, and dairy barn. Also deadly for worms, beetles, and 
ground insects. 
Does not burn or stain flower, leaf or fruit. When used on fruits 
and vegetables, it eliminates washing because with Red Arrow there 
is no poisonous residue. 
Red Arrow is as nearly a perfect spray as you can buy because 
it will kill 100% of more varieties of insects than any other non- 
poisonous insecticide. Deadly to insects—but harmless to children, 
pets, valuable wild bird life and soil. 
Red Arrow is pleasant and easy to use. It has no dangerous fumes 
or unpleasant odors and needs only to be mixed with water. 
1 ounce, 35c; 14 pint, #1.00; pint, #1.75; 1 pint, #3.25; 1 quart, 
#6.00; 1 gallon, #20.00. 
Fungtrogen for Mildew 
Controls mildew and black spot. A highly concentrated fungicide 
invisible on the foliage or blooms. It is the noted Rosenbluth formula 
combined with the plant stimulant—Hortogen—that results in plant 
vigor and superb foliage. 
Fungtrogen is an effective and scientific preventive and remedy for 
mildew, black spot and other fungous diseases of Roses. It also pre- 
vents mildew and black spot on Phlox, Chrysanthemums, Holly¬ 
hocks, Delphiniums, Sweet Peas and Evergreens and is endorsed by 
leading rosarians. 
Fungtrogen is a complete spray, ready to use when mixed with 
water to sixty times its volume.

Ant Killer or Ant Bait 
For Quick, Permanent Relief from Ants, Roaches, Silverfish 
CLEAN—LETHELIN JELLY is a clean odorless ant bait, packed 
in handy tubes for your convenience. It does not melt or run at 
ordinary temperatures. 
SCIENTIFIC—The sense of taste is highly developed in ants. 
They detect arsenic, sodium fluoride, and other poisons commonly 
used in liquid baits, powders, etc., and often quit feeding before the 
colony is destroyed. The toxic ingredients in LETHELIN JELLY are 
tasteless, and are so combined with attractive agents, that the ants 
prefer it to their favorite foods, eating voraciously until the last trace 
of bait is removed, or the colony wiped out. Strong, instantaneous 
poisons, or sprays which kill only the surface ants, leave the queen in 
the nest to lay eggs undisturbed, and fail of their purpose. The gent'e 
toxic action of LETHELIN JELLY gives the workers ample time to 
carry the tempting “food” back to the queen and young—in the 
nest—thus destroying the colony at its source.
