PEST CONTROL CHART 
We give herewith a few of the outstanding remedies for pest 
control in the garden; for other problems call on us for informa¬ 
tion; if we have it will be glad to advise you to the best of our 
ability. 
ANTS—Use Ant Powder, a dust which kills them by contact, 
or Antrol, a liquid which is put in small glass containers and set 
around the house or garden where infestations occur. The ants 
eat the liquid and die. Start early in the spring. 
APHIS —The green or black insects infesting roses, stocks, etc., 
from early spring till late fall. Spray with— 
Blackleaf “40”, a tobacco extract. 1% teaspoons to a gallon 
of water. 
Red Arrow or Evergreen spray—1 teaspoon to a gallon of 
water. Dust with any of the dusts specially prepared for same. 
Garden Volck, or Nursery Volck with Blackleaf “40”. Garden 
Volck, 8 level tablespoons to 1 gallon of water. 
BEETLES —Spray with Red Arrow, 2 teaspoons to a gallon, or 
dust or spray with Caltox. 
BROWN PATCH IN THE LAWN. Specially infesting Bent grass 
lawns. Use Semesan, 1 level tablespoon to 1 gallon of water. 
CODLIN MOTH —Causing wormy apples and pears. After the 
petals of the flowers are about one-half fallen, spray with a 
solution of 3 level tablespoons to 1 gallon of arsenate of lead. 
CHERRY AND PEAR SLUGS —^When they appear spray with 
same solution as for codlin moth. 
CUTWORMS —Snarol, Snailfoil or Vaporite, according to direc¬ 
tions. 
GOPHERS —^Use gopher poison, cyanide, gopher bombs or traps. 
LACE BUGS —Red Arrow, 2 teaspoons to a gallon of water, or 
Garden Volck at the rate of 12 level tablespoons to 1 gallon of 
water. r^ul H 
LAWN GRUBS —Use 5 lbs. of arsenate of lead, mix with a 
bushel of sand or soil, scatter over 1000 square feet of lawn 
while the grass is dry. Use broom or rake to work it in. In 
making new lawns it is well to work this mixture in about 
half an inch deep before planting the seed. 
LAWN WORMS OR ANGLE WORMS— Use Worm Eradicator, 
spreading this over the lawn at the rate of 10 lbs. to 180 square 
feet, watering well after applying it. 
LEAFHOPPERS —Red Arrow, 1% teaspoons to 1 gallon of water; 
or Garden Volck, 12 tablespoons to a gallon of water. 
LEAFMINERS —Garden Volck, 12 tablespoons to gallon of water. 
MEALY BUGS —Red Arrow, 4 teaspoons to a gallon. Garden 
Volck, 12 tablespoons to a gallon. Spraying will have to be 
repeated often, because mealy bug infestations are difficult to 
eradicate, often being at the roots of plants where they can¬ 
not be reached. 
MILDEW AND BLACKSPOT —Powdery mildew on roses and 
other plants can be controlled by dusting Kolotex, or dusting 
sulphur. Do this on warm, sunny days, because sulphur is not 
active on dull days. 
Bordelo is also very effective, both for mildew and other 
fungous diseases. 
Quasol is another disinfectant which is quite effective; in 
fact, there are so many of them it is impossible to tell about 
all of them. 
PEACH LEAF CURL —Spray either in the fall or in the spring 
before the leaves appear with a solution of ten tablespoons of 
dry lime sulphur to 1 gallon of water. It is advisable to spray 
all fruit trees with this solution at that time, but always before 
the buds begin to swell. 
ROSE BEETLES —Catch them in early morning. 
ROSE WORMS —Spray both sides of the foliage with arsenate 
of lead. 4 to 6 level tablespoons to a gallon of water. 
RUST ON HOLLYHOCKS —Spray with Fungi-Bordeau at the 
rate of 8 level tablespoons to a gallon of water as soon as it 
makes its appearance. 
THRIPS —Red Arrow, 1^4 teaspoons to 1 gallon of water. 
SCALY INSECTS —^Apply the same remedies advocated for 
mealy bug.
