How to Control Insects and Diseases in Your Garden 
Start spraying or dusting before they appear and repeat 
every 10 days to two weeks or after a heavy rain. For all 
perennial plants and roses we recommend Triogen Spray to 
control all diseases and insects. A small kit will care for 
15 roses the whole season. For all annual flowers and vege¬ 
tables, use Rotenone Dust to control all insects or Rotenone 
Sulphur Dust to control diseases and insects. 
Spray Lilacs, Japonicas, Gardinias and other plants sub¬ 
ject to scales with Garden or Nursery Volk. 
Evergreen or Red Arrow are good contact sprays for in¬ 
sects on vegetables and flowers. Other good insecticides are 
described below. Follow the application instructions on 
each package.
