Pyrethrum is now being recognized as the best and safest 
insecticide for general purpose use. This material is harmless 
to man and all small animals but readily kills both the chewing 
and the sucking insects. It is mailable, hence it is easy to 
obtain. Of all the pyrethrum products being sold today, we have 
selected Evergreen as being the best, because it is made from 
selected stocks of the pyrethnim flowers and tested for its 
strength. Thus when we sell Evergreen, we feel that our 
customers will get results. 
FOR MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE 
After trying all kinds of sprays for this pest, we have come 
to the conclusion that a Pyrethrum spray is about as good 
as any and better than most of them. Further, it is safe and 
easy to use. For the Bean Beetle make a little stronger 
solution and apply with a good compressed air sprayer that 
will throw the mixture under the leaves. 
HOW TO USE IT 
The one-ounce bottle will make six gallons of normal strength 
spray. The six-ounce bottle will make 36 gallons of spray. 
The desired quantity of Evergreen should be thoroughly mixed 
with a small quantity of water and then added to the total 
quantity. A little good soap, heated until it is dissolved in a 
little water and put into the spray will make it stick better.

CYCLONE 
SEEDER 
This is a very 
light machine of 
simple construction 
used for sowing all 
kinds of seeds — 
Wheat, Oats, Rye, 
Barley, Grass, Clo¬ 
ver, Rape, Vetch, 
Beans, Peas, and 
in fact anything that 
has to be sowed 
can be handled in 
this one machine 
The adjustment for 
the different kinds 
of seeds is in easy 
reach, and can be 
made by anyone in two minutes. I have tried many different 
makes of seeders, but have never found any that did better 
work than this. From actual experience in my own fields, I 
consider this the most economical and practical machine that 
has ever been placed on the market. Distributes evenly and 
cannot clog. 
Price—$2.50 each, postpaid, or $2.25 by express. 
DRY LIME SULPHUR.—Used to control the San Jose Scale 
on peach, plum and all stone fruits. It is put up in powdered 
form and can be readily mixed with water as needed. Saves 
a large part of the freight in shipping and is otherwise cheaper 
than the liquid. For the dormant spray against such troubles 
as San Jose Scale, Oyster Shell Bark Louse, etc., use 15 lbs. 
of Dry Lime Sulphur to 50 gallons of water. For summer 
spraying against fungus diseases, such as Apple Scab, etc., on 
all seed fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, etc., use from 2 
to 3 lbs. of Dry Lime Sulphur to 50 gallons-of water in com¬ 
bination with the usual proportion of Dry Powdered or Paste 
Arsenate of Lead. For the summer spray on all stone fruits 
such as peaches, plums, etc., use from 1 to 1% lbs. to 50 
gallons of water in combination with the usual strength of 
Arsenate of Lead.

ARSENATE OF LEAD POWDERED.—The standard poison 
for tobacco worms, potato bugs, and all chewing insects. It 
can be used in solution as a wet spray or dry as a dust. As a 
wet spray, one pound will make from 20 to 50 gallons accord¬ 
ing to the tree or crop sprayed. For use as a powder, do not 
mix with ashes or any carrier, but apply with a dust gun just 
as it comes from the can. For tobacco, from three to five 
pounds per acre will be needed, according to the size of the 
plants. For potatoes, use from five to seven pounds per acre.
