Garden Luck 
At the risk of having some readers disagree with us, we claim

Kills Plant Lice 
The Complete, Con¬ 
centrated Insecticide 
in Jelly Form 
Plant Lice or Aphis, those insidious garden vampires, do millions of dollars worth of damage 
to crops every year. They attack by the billions! The only way to keep them under control 
is to spray early and keep it up. Lotol makes this easy— 
No Fuss No Muss—A Teaspoonful Makes A Gallon 
Just squeeze a teaspoonful out of the handy tube, dissolve in a gallon of water, warm or cold, and— 
NO FUSS—NO MUSS—your spray solution is ready to fight the 300 odd species of Aphis (Plant Lice) 
against which plants must struggle for life throughout the growing 
season. Equally effective against other soft-bodied insect pests. 
For sale at most horticultural supply stores. If not at yours, 
send 45c for a tube—enough for 6 gallons of spray.
