Due to fluctuating market, prices on Insecticides and Fungicides are subject to change without notice. 
ANSUL FORMALDEHYDE DUST. Eliminate 
losses and poor stands of flowers and vegetables. 
Most soils contain the “damping-off” and root 
rotting germs. The best seeds planted in soil 
containing an abundance of these germs will ger¬ 
minate poorly and show poor stands. Treat with 
Ansul Formaldehyde Dust. It is safe, economical 
and easy to apply. Steam sterilization or seed 
treatment unnecessary. 1 lb. can 75c; 5 lb. can 
$2.00; 25 lbs. $5.50; 50 lbs. $9.00. 
ANTEOL is easy to use, economical, and safe around 
children and pets. Can be used inside or outside the 
house. Consists of small glass containers from which 
the worker ants carry special Antrol Syrup 
to their nests for food. The whole ant family 
is quickly killed at the source—the only way 
to get permanent freedom from these pests. 
Antrol containers are practically unbreakable 
glass, with rust-proof, water-proof aluminum lids. Control both 
sweet and grease-eating ants. Prices—Antrol Ready-filled set, con¬ 
taining 4 filled feeders, 40c; Antrol Regular Set, 4 containers and
