PROTECT YOUR GARDEN 
Pyrethrum is now being recognized as the best and safest 
insecticide for general purpose use. This material is harm¬ 
less to man and all small animals but readily kills both the 
chewing and the sucking insects. It is mailable, hence it 
is easy to obtain. Of all the pyrethrum products being 
sold today, we have selected Evergreen as being the best, 
because it is made from selected stocks of the pyrethrum 
flowers and tested for its strength. Thus when we sell 
Evergreen, we feel that our customers will get results. 
FOR MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE 
After trying all kinds of sprays for this pest, we have 
come to the conclusion that a Pyrethrum spray is about as 
good as any and better than most of them. Further, it is 
safe and easy to use. For the Bean Beetle make a little 
stronger solution and apply with a good compressed air 
sprayer that will throw the mixture under the leaves. 
HOW TO USE IT 
The one-ounce bottle will make six gallons of normal 
strength spray. The six-ounce bottle will make 36 gallons 
of spray. The desired quantity of Evergreen should be 
thoroughly mixed with a small quantity of water and then 
added to the total quantity. A little good soap, heated 
until it is dissolved in a little water and put into the 
spray will make it stick better.
