Insecticides—Fungicides—•Disinfectants 
Poisons Can be Mailed—Prices are Not Prepaid Unless Specified. 
Poisons are used against surface chewing or biting insects. 
They are sprayed on the leaves and remain in the form of a 
thin film, or coating. Poisons act by being taken into the stom¬ 
achs of the insects while eating. In this group come Paris Green, 
Arsenate of Lead, Calcium Arsenate. These are arsenicals and 
are not recommended for use on products for human consumption 
after the heads or fruits have been formed on account of the 
arsenical residue that is left which often causes condemnation by 
the government. 
Contact Solutions are used to combat sucking insects and 
various kinds of scale. Sucking insects obtain their food by 
inserting tubes or bristles under the surface and sucking the 
plant juices. Poisons will not affect them. Contact solutions 
are designed to act upon these by caustic action, or by clogging 
up their breathing tubes. In this group come Pish Oil Soap, Dry 
Lime-Sulphur, Nicotine products, Pyrethrums, and Rotenones. 
Fungicides are used to give protection against infection by fun¬ 
gous diseases. They act mainly by preventing the fungus 
“spores” (which correspond to the seeds of higher plants) from 
germinating when they alight on protected foliage. Fungicides 
are preventives and not cures. In this group are Bordeaux Mix¬ 
ture in powdered form, Dry Lime-Sulphur, Blue Vitriol, For¬ 
maldehyde.
