PREVENT Damping-Off, Scab, 
Mold, Black Leg, etc. 
Damping-off, which is caused by several fungi, one or more of 
which is present in nearly all unsterilized soil or on untreated 
seeds, is the most serious plant disease problem confronting hor¬ 
ticulturists. The loss is not fully realized by many growers who 
often wrongly attribute poor stands and dying young plants to 
poor seed and unfavorable growing conditions. Even with our 
superior disease-treated seeds, your seedlings and plants will not 
be entirely protected from Damping-Off if this deadly fungi is 
present in your soil. The development of FORMACIDE now en¬ 
ables the grower to sterilize his soil. By applying FORMACIDE 
to the soil and using disease-treated seeds your seedlings and 
plants are, at a very small expense, protected from, Damping-Off. 
This double protection is the most effective and most satisfactory 
control of this deadly disease, which kills millions of dollars’ 
worth of tender seedlings each year. Every planter of vegetable 
and flower seeds should apply FORMACIDE to the soil and sow 
treated seeds to prevent seeds decaying in the ground and pre¬ 
vent seedling plants from dying when small. FORMACIDE also 
disinfects the soil sufficiently to kill other fungi diseases which 
may cause scab, mold, black leg, etc. 
FORMACIDE also stimulates plant growth. It increases the 
stand, reduces mortality of seedlings, and by giving stronger, 
healthier plants, it actually reduces the amount of seed neces¬ 
sary for planting a specific area. For the same investment in 
seed, fertilizer, land and labor, FORMACIDE increases productiv¬ 
ity approximately 25%. 
For greenhouse use, apply to flats and benches at the rate of 
iy 2 to 2 ounces per sq. ft. To sterilize potting soil and trans¬ 
planting beds, add 8 ounces of FORMACIDE to each bushel of 
soil and mix thoroughly. 
Soil treated with FORMACIDE can be planted immediately. 
It can even be mixed with fertilizer and drilled directly with the 
seed at the rate of 1 lb. to a 450-foot row. 
PRICES: y 2 lb., 45c; 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. By 
express, not prepaid, 25 lbs., $5.50; 50 lbs., $9.00; 100 lbs., 
$17.00. 
Make Your Hens Lay 
You can’t expect hens to lay eggs 
if they are infested with mites. Rid 
your premises of mites with MYTE- 
MIST. Easy to use—just spray it on 
the nests, walls, roosts and ceilings 
before roosting times. The fumes 
will penetrate feathers, cracks, crev¬ 
ices — everywhere. MYTEMIST is 
not injurious to poultry, but the 
fumes are deadly to mites, bed bugs, 
ants, roaches, etc. Your money back if it fails. 1 bottle, 
$1.00; 3 bottles, $2.50; 1 gallon, $5.00, postpaid. 
TREAT YOUR SEEDS 
NO-CROW insures seeds against at¬ 
tacks of crows, doves, blackbirds, 
larks, pheasants, starlings and all other 
seed-pulling birds and rodents such as 
moles, squirrels, gophers, woodchucks, 
etc., during the germinating and root¬ 
ing period. Pint can (enough to treat 
2 bushels of seed), $1.00; y 2 pint, 60c, 
postpaid.

CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES 
WHITE GOLD 
Earliest White Potato Grown 
White Gold is by far the earliest white Potato, which enables 
the grower to get on the market when prices are high. It is 
also a profitable main crop sort, due to its big yield and fine ap¬ 
pearance and quality. 
White Gold has the size and shape of the Green Mountain, 
though the eyes are shallow and it is slightly netted in appear¬ 
ance. The yields compare favorably with late varieties such as 
Rural New Yorker and Carman. The outstanding feature, how¬ 
ever, is its earliness, for here is a white Potato of good size 
and appearance, a big yielder, and ten days earlier than Irish 
Cobbler, Early Ohio or Bliss Triumph. It is also a good winter 
keeper and of splendid cooking quality. Naturally the price of 
seed of this new variety is somewhat higher than ordinary varie¬ 
ties, but it is worth many times the difference in cost, as grow¬ 
ers will derive greater profits because of its earliness. 
CERTIFIED SEED—Bushel, $1.95; 34 bushel, $1.10,

Potato Eyes by Mail 
Some of our customers who want to grow a few of our White 
Gold Potatoes this year, will probably hesitate ordering on ac¬ 
count of the express charges on a half bushel or bushel of seed. 
For the benefit of our customers who want to get a start with 
this most excellent of all potatoes, we are furnishing good sound 
potato eyes by mail. These eyes are carefully packed and we 
warrant them to arrive in good growing condition, no matter how 
far away. Remember, the potato eyes are sent postpaid. This 
is your opportunity to get a start with this wonderful potato. 
60 eyes should produce a bushel or more of good potatoes. Many 
planters report 3 to 5 bushels from sixty eyes, and one customer 
in Alaska reports 350 lbs. from 30 eyes. 
Orders for the South can be sent at any time during the win¬ 
ter with perfect safety. Orders for the North and West can be 
sent whenever the customer desires them. When ordering Potato 
Eyes, be sure to give the date you want us to ship them to you, 
as eyes keep in good condition only 2 to 3 weeks after cutting.
