MICHELL’S INSECT DESTROYERS, Etc. 
To bear out our reputation as one of the 
most complete seed-stores in the world, we 
constantly carry adequate -stocks of all of the 
various insecticides, fungicides, pest controls, 
etc., listed on this and the-next three pages. 
It is natural, with sao many brands on the 
market, that the same results can be accom- 
plished with several different brands in any 
one class. Many, of course, have their distinct 
values, which we have tried to bring out in the 
brief descriptions. 
In selecting a remedy for garden pests and 
diseases, it is well to bear the following in 
mind. 
Contact Insecticides kill chiefly through 
actual contact and fumes, and for best results 
must be sprayed directly on the insect. These 
are used to combat sucking insects which feed 
on the inside of the foliage. 
Stomach Poisons are used to control chew- 
ing or leaf-eating insects, and, to be effective, 
must adhere to the leaf-surface on which the 
insects feed. 
Fungicides are used to combat plant diseases 
of a fungous nature. 
Dilution rates where shown are general. 
Follow specific directions on each container

cide. Safe for man and animals, it is espe-
