IMPROVED CERESAN for seed treatment of 
small grains. Ceresan has proved effective in 
controlling such seed-borne diseases as bunt or 
stinking smut of wheat, stripe disease of bar¬ 
ley, loose and covered smuts of barley and oats, 
and covered kernel smut of sorghum. It is the 
only dust treatment which has successfully con¬ 
trolled these destructive grain diseases. Cere¬ 
san does not injure the seed nor the grain-drill. 
Only 2 ounces of Ceresan required per bushel 
of wheat, rye or sorghum and 3 ounces for bar¬ 
ley and oats. Easy to apply, economical to use.

root rofs carried by the seed and from rotting in cold, wet soil, 
consequently better germination, stands, and yields of improved 
quality are obtained. Treatment with Semesan Jr. costs less than 3c 
per acre and pays a splendid profit on the cost. Easily $nd quickly 
applied as a dust at the rate of 2 ounces per bushel of seed.

For Disease Protection eases with semesan. 
Prevent the many damaging diseases of flowers and vegetables that 
are carried on the seed, by disinfection of the seed with Semesan.

from the rots in the soil, which results in increased stands of more 
vigorous, healthy plants that yield larger, quality crops. Sprinkling 
of the seedling beds with Semesan solution effectively prevents damp¬ 
ing-off. Recommended especially for seeds, bulbs, gladiolus corms, 
dahlia tubers, and rose bushes. Easily applied as a liquid or dust. 
One ounce treats 15 to 30 pounds of seed. Directions in every can.
