TREAT SEEDS and BULBS 
WITH SEMESAN 
Semesan Controls Disease and Increases Yield 
Prevent the many damaging diseases of flowers and. 
vegetables that are carried on the seed and in the soil, 
by disinfection of the seed with Semesan. It destroys the 
destructive diseases on the seed and protects them 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 solu¬ 
tion effectively prevents damping-off. Recommended espe¬ 
cially for seeds, bulbs, gladiolus corns, 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. 
Prices: 2-oz. size, 50c; by mail, 55c; 1-lb. size, $2.50; 
by mail, $2.60; 5 lbs., $11.75; by mail, $12.00; 25 lbs.,

“I zvish to report on the sample packet of Olds’ Oakleaf 
lettuce you sent me last year. This lettuce had the most de¬ 
lightful flavor of all the many varieties of lettuce I have ever 
tried. Given proper space, say eight or ten inches, in which 
to grow, it forms a magnificent bunch of the most delicious 
leaves.” — R. B. Kelchuer, Oklq. 
“The seed we got from you this spring all came up fine 
and every seed must have grown as each row is crozvded 
with plants of fine size. The peas are line in size, quality, 
and abundance. We got clozicr seed of your local dealer at 
Hollandale and we have been farming over thirty-four years 
and never had such a crop before. Just immense, great.
