The Case of Man Versus Bug 
and the Verdict 
Of all the enemies of your Roses and also of your Grapes, Rhodo¬ 
dendrons. Peonies, Poppies, in short of all those delicately petalled 
flowers that bloom during- late May, June and July, none are more 
vicious than the Rose Bug. Another season’s 
critical tryout in many of the leading - gardens of 
America has again proved the value of 
The One Sure Rose Bug Remedy 
Fatal to Every Bug It Touches 
Though absolutely effective in destroying the dreaded Rose Bug as 
well as plant lice of many species, Melrosine is non-poisonous, pleasant 
and harmless to use, safe for birds and domestic animals. It will 
neither stain the foliage nor injure delicate blossoms, and invigorates 
the plants by its cleansing properties. 
The foremost horticultural stores handle Melrosine. If your dealer 
cannot supply you, we will send a trial can upon receipt of 60c.
