SPRAYING MATERIALS 
NOTICE—All Dusts should be applied 
with a dust gun. It does the work much 
better and is a big saving on dusting 
powder. 
APHICIDE 
This insecticide has been thoroughly 
tried out and I find it to be the best 
nicotine dust on the market. It contains 
a large per cent of nicotine, which makes 
it most efective against the striped cu¬ 
cumber bugs and the green aphis, which 
causes large losses all through the Middle 
West. This dust should be applied with 
a dust gun so as to get underneath the 
leaves where the bugs are usually found. 
Aphicide is made so that it will cling to 
the plants which makes it very effective 
against chewing or succulent insects. It 
is a poison, so cannot be sent by parcel 
post. Price: 1-lb. cans, 35c; 5-lb., $1.40; 
10-lb., $2.50. Kindly ask for prices on 
larger lots. 
HAMMOND’S 
SLUG SHOT 
A combination of the most potent insec¬ 
ticides and soluble plant foods. It de¬ 
stroys all insects, injurious to house 
plants, shrubs, trees, vines, potatoes, 
melons, cabbage, currants and vegetables 
and fruits of all kinds. This preparation, 
though poisonous to insects, does not in¬ 
jure the foliage. Price: not prepaid, 
5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.00. By mail, 7c per 
lb. extra. I also have Slug Shot in 1-lb. 
cartons with perforated top, ready for 
use. Price: 1-lb. cartons, 33c each, 
postpaid. 
GRAPE and ROSE DUST 
Black spot on roses, powdery mildew on 
grapes and roses are easily controlled by 
this remedy, also the leaf eating insects. 
It is especially good to prevent milldew 
and black spot on roses. Plant should 
be dusted about once a week after they 
are well leafed out. 1-lb. can, 45c, post¬ 
paid; 5-lb. can, $1.50, not prepaid. 
TOBACCO DUST 
Destroys rose bugs, lice, vine bugs, to¬ 
mato worms, currant worms, cabbage 
lice and worms and parasites of all de¬ 
scriptions. Should be applied when fo¬ 
liage is wet. Will not burn or injure the 
plants. Price: lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 45c; 7c per 
lb. extra if sent by mail. Not prepaid,

TRIOGEN 
The All-Purpose Spray 
A POSITIVE PLANT PROTECTION 
This complete Rose Darden Spray Treat¬ 
ment—Tri-ogen—offers the first definite 
mildew and black spot control combined 
with an insecticide. It kills all insects, 
including the sucking and leaf-eating 
types. It remains on foliage, repelling 
subsequent attacks. Tri-ogen also stim¬ 
ulates plant growth, resulting in fine fo¬

“BLACK LEAF 40” 
(Sulphate of Nicotine) 
This is one of the best all around spray¬ 
ing materials. It is especially recom¬ 
mended for killing the green aphis or lice 
which usually appear on sweet peas, cu¬ 
cumbers and other vines. When using 
“Black Leaf 40” care should be taken to 
follow directions. For green aphis or 
louse, add 1,000 parts water to one part 
“Black Leaf 40.” It can be used for 
spraying all kinds of plants. It is also 
very valuable when used as a dip for 
cattle and sheep. A 10-lb. can of "Black 
Leaf 40” will produce 960 gallons of 
dipping solution, which still has the re¬ 
quired strength as specified by the U. S. 
government. “Black Leaf 40” cannot be

Hotkapi 
- New Method of 
Plant Protection 
Hotkaps are made from an especially pre¬ 
pared paper, which is waterproof and 
when set over a small plant, it acts as a 
small greenhouse, by furnishing an extra 
amount of heat in the early spring, when 
the weather is still cool. Hotkaps not 
only make the young plants grow faster, 
but they protect them from frosts and 
insects. Hotkaps have been tried out for 
several years and we have many testi¬ 
monials showing where Hotkaps produced 
ripe melons two weeks earlier than where 
they were not used. More information 
given on request. Price: 500, $5.50; 1,000 
lots, $10.00, not postpaid. 250 trial pack¬

GERMAN PEAT MOSS 
Lawn and Poultry 
Makes an excellent covering for a new 
lawn. After sowing seed it should be 
applied about % inch deep. A bale covers 
about 1,000 sq. ft. of lawn. Peat moss 
helps to hold the moisture in the soil 
until the grass gets started. During the 
summer it protects the roots from the 
hot sun. The horticulture grade should 
be used for lawns and plants. We also 
have the high quality poultry litter which 
is far superior in quality than the Swed¬ 
ish moss. The lawn moss is especially 
good for covering flowers and perennials 
in fall, also rock garden plants. Either 
kind, bale, $2.87, not prepaid.

ACME 
POTATO PLANTER 
This planter enables one man, 
going over the field but once, to 
plant two or more acres in a day, 
and this almost as easy as he 
could walk the same distance in 
the same time. It makes the 
holes, drops and covers at the 
same time. It is im¬ 
portant in planting that 
they be dropped in 
moist soil and covered 
before the soil dries 
out. This the Acme 
Planter does perfectly. 
Weight, 2% lbs. Price:
