ceresan 
OAT* 
IMPROVED CERESAN for seed treatment of 
small grains. Ceresan has proved effective in 
controlling such seed-borne diseases as bunt or 
stinking smut of wheat, stripe disease of bar¬ 
ley, loose and covered smuts of barley and oats, 
and covered kernel smut of sorghum. It is the 
only dust treatment which has successfully con¬ 
trolled these destructive grain diseases. Cere¬ 
san does not injure the seed nor the grain-drill. 
Only 2 ounces of Ceresan required per bushel 
of wheat, rye or sorghum and 3 ounces for bar¬ 
ley and oats. Easy to apply, economical to use.

CORN—Increase your Corn Yields 
3 bushels an acre with SEME¬ 
SAN JR. 
Three bushels more corn can reasonably be expected by any 
farmer who treats seed corn before planting, Illinois Experiment 
Station tests show. Field or sweet seed corn dusted with Semesan Jr. 
is protected from the destructive Diplodia, Giberella, and Basisporium 
root rots carried by the seed and from rotting in cold, wet soil, 
consequently better germination, stands, and yields of improved 
quality are obtained. Treatment with Semesan Jr. costs less than 3c 
per acre and pays a splendid profit on the cost. Easily and quickly 
applied as a dust at the rate of 2 ounces per bushel of seed. 
Prices: 4 oz. 30c; 1 lb. 75c; 5 lbs. $3.25. Free pamphlet.

VEGETABLES, FLOWERS— 
More Vegetables and better 
Flowers through controlling dis¬ 
eases with SEMESAN. 
Prevent the many damaging diseases of flowers and vegetables that 
are carried on the seed, by disinfection of the seed with Semesan. 
It destroys the destructive diseases on the seed and protects them 
from the rots in the soil, which results in increased stands of more 
vigorous, healthy plants that yield larger, quality crops. Sprinkling 
of the seedling beds with Semesan solution effectively prevents damp¬ 
ing-off. Recommended especially for seeds, bulbs, gladiolus corms, 
dahlia tubers, and rose bushes. Easily applied as a liquid or dust. 
One ounce treats 15 to 30 pounds of seed. Directions in every can. 
Prices: % oz. package 10c; 2 oz. 35c: 1 lb. $2.25; 5 lbs. $9.90. Free
