Du Bay Semesan 
Prevent the many damaging 
diseases of flowers and vegetables 
that are carried on the seed, by dis¬ 
infection 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 solution 
effectively prevents damping-off. Recommended 
especially for seeds, bulbs, and gladiolus corms. 
Du Bay Seed Disinfectants Are Mailable

Ansul Formaldehyde Dust 
Ansul Formaldehyde Dust is a

which controls seed borne diseases 
and when applied to the soil con¬ 
trols “damping-off” and other root 
rots of vegetable and floral seed¬ 
lings. The sterilization of soil and 
seed with Formaldehyde is not new. 
The oldest disinfectant known. 
The Ansul Formaldehyde Dust treatment, the 
mixing of the soil, and the planting of the seed is 
all one operation. 
METHODS OF TREATMENT. 
For damping-off control of seedlings use 1 y 2 
oz. of Ansul Formaldehyde Dust per square foot of 
area of soil in beds, benches or flats 2 y 2 to 3 inches 
deep. After the soil is prepared and in the bench 
or beds, spread the required amount of Ansul 
Formaldehyde Dust evenly over the surface and 
work thoroughly into the soil. When flats or pots 
are to be used, enough soil should be placed on a 
bench or cement floor and the dust mixed with it, 
at the rate of eight ounces per bushel of soil. 
Place in flats, sow seeds and water immediately.
