FORMALDEHYDE is a comparatively non-poi- 
Bonous microbicide and antiseptic, of a gaseous 
nature absorbed by water, and may be readily 
diluted in any proportion. It is of pronounced 
efficiency in destroying disease germs affecting both 
animal and plant life, and is successfully employed 
as a preventive of such fungoid diseases as potato 
scab, onion and grain smuts, musty corn ana other 
affected seeds, damping off of seedlings, club root 
of roses, etc., for the restraining of decay in vege¬ 
tables, fruits, etc., and as an antiseptic wash and 
spray for bark diseases, canker and wounds in 
trees, and as a disinfectant for stables, kennels, 
poultry houses, etc. Crops raised from seeds 
treated with Formaldehyde solutions, in most in¬ 
stances give greatly increased yields and of 
healthier, cleaner and more salable products, 
theoretically accounted for by the destruction or 
holding in check of parasites and decay fungus 
when cold soils or other uncongenial conditions 
retard germination, thus allowing the seed to con¬ 
sume all of its stored plant food and get a vigorous 
start. The dilution for most purposes is 1 lb. (1 
pint) Formaldehyde to 30 to 45 gallons of water 
and 1 to 2 gallons of this dilution is required for 
treatment of every bushel of seed. Specific direc¬ 
tions supplied with each purchase. Price of For¬
