Mr. Fritz Bahr Says: 
HIGHLAND PARK GREENHOUSES 
Dec. 1, 1936. 
“We wouldn’t thin\ of replanting a bench or groundbed, 
no matter what it consists of, after the soil has been wor\ed 
over, without applying a good dose of To-7s[a'Cide and 
lightly wor\ing the same into the surface. We have found 
this insecticide by far the most efficient weapon to get rid of 
and \eep under control sowbugs and many other insect pests 
usually found in soil made use of under glass.
