world’s leading* chemical companies. 
Therefore, the knowledge and exper¬ 
ience gained through these many years of 
chemical manufacture applied to the pro¬ 
duction of insecticides and fungicides ob- 
BORDOW (POWDERED BORDO 
MIXTURE) 
Bordow is a scientifically prepared copper fun¬ 
gicide, exactly blended and of fine mesh, free 
from lumps. Remains well in suspension and ad¬ 
heres to foliage. 
Copper is a destroyer of the spores which cause 
fungus diseases of 'fruit, vegetables, etc. There¬ 
fore, the fruit and foliage should be well coated 
with a film of Bordow before the disease attacks.

various worms and bugs which attack potatoes, 
tomatoes, cotton, cucumbers, melons, squash, beets, 
cabbage, mint, tobacco, and other plants with 
hardy foliage.

—works equally well as a dust and as a spray— 
covers thoroughly. Especially recommended for 
potato bug. Combines well with Bordow mixture 
for blight and other fungus.

LEAD ARSENATE 
Arsenic, combined with lead, makes the most 
effective and the most practical insecticide for 
leaf-eating and chewing insects, bugs and worms. 
All lead arsenates are not the same; physical 
properties vary. Dow Lead Arsenate is produced 
by a special process that results in high arsenic 
content yet containing an extraordinary low 
quantity of soluble arsenic. 
Uniformly fine and fluffy ; remains well in sus¬ 
pension ; clings tightly to foliage ; resists w T ashing 
by rain ; readily devoured by insects.

less injurious to foliage and imparts a fine, 
smooth, high colored finish without russeting. 
Conveniently packaged. The safest and most 
effective spray for fruit scab and scale. 
Dow Lime Sulphur solution is also available. 
MAGNESIUM ARSENATE 
Dow Magnesium Arsenate, because of its greater 
effectiveness, is the leading choice as a sure means 
of bean beetle control. Does not damage the 
tender bean foliage due to unusually careful man¬ 
ufacture. Stimulates plant growth through great¬ 
er protection. Gives excellent results as a spray. 
Also available as a dust mixture. 
viously endows them with exceptional 
merit. Moreover, the extensive Dow re¬ 
search laboratories are constantly em¬ 
ployed in the development of new pro¬ 
ducts, new processes and improvements.

secticides and fungicides.
