PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK- 
W E give below a list of vegetables, fruits, trees and plants, and in 
italics the insects or diseases that usually attack them, followed 
by one or more numbers. To find out what remedy to use, refer to a 
corresponding number under the headings of “Remedies for Insects," 
or “ Remedies for Fungus." For instance, if an insect is attacking your 
Asparagus, by referring to the list of vegetables you will find that it 
is probably the beetle that is causing the devastation ; the numbers 
following Asparagus beetle are 9 and 13. By reference to the corresponding 
numbers under " Hemedies for Insects" you will find that Paris green in 
Q solution or Hlug Shot blown on in powder form are the remedies to apply.
