MICHELL'S INSECT DESTROYERS, ETC. 
Japtox 
Kills and Repels Japanese 
and Asiatic Beetles 
This material affords real 
protection to foliage against 
the ravenous feeding of these 
pests. It forms an actual 
coating or film which spreads 
evenly over the surface to 
which it has been applied, and 
sticks longer than any other 
spraying material known. 
Japtox has as its base an 
arsenical poison so as to insure killing the 
small percentage of beetles which may ac¬ 
tually feed on the sprayed foliage. One 
pound of Japtox will make 10 gallons of spray.
