VICTORY GARDEN FERTILIZER 
For food production only. 
A well-balanced plant food is as im- 
portant to your vegetable garden as a 
well-balanced meal is to your body. Of 
-the many food elements necessary to 
plant growth, nitrogen, phosphorus and 
potash are needed in greatest quantities. 
Victory Garden Fertilizer for 1944 con- 
tains 5 per cent nitrogen, 10 per cent 
phosphorus, and 5 per cent potash. This 
is a definite improvement over the Vic- 
tory Garden Fertilizer of 1943, and is 
even better than the common four, 
twelve, four analysis of pre-war days. 
An ample supply of nitrogen results 
in dark green foliage and active vege- 
tative growth. Phosphorus hastens the 
maturity of plants. It makes for better, 
fuller fruit and produce. Potash con- 
tributes to the formation of starches, 
stiffening of the stems, the size and 
flavor of fruits, and assists in resisting 
disease. 
To properly feed vegetable gardens 
six to eight pounds of Victory Garden 
Fertilizer per 100 square feet (10 ft. by 
10 ft.) should be worked into the seed 
bed several days before planting the 
seed. For row or hill plantings apply five 
pounds per 100-foot row, being careful 
that the fertilizer does not come in direct 
contact with the seed. For small growing 
gen, phosphates and potash. A balanced fertilizer is one which contains all three, and gives a 
complete diet to the crop. 
Hardie’s Acid Mixture

plants which prefer an acid soil. This prepara-

A New Non-Poisonous Dust — 
Pyretoxide Dust No. 15 
Here is the product you have been waiting 
for. A war-baby in the world of pest control, 
born of the shifting, changing conditions 
which robbed the insecticide manufacturers 
of materials hitherto easily obtainable and 
forced the DESTRUXOL laboratory to a 
supreme effort to help you to solve your 
problem... right now. 
DESTRUXOL PYRETOXIDE DUST No. 15 
replaces former commodities which were cre- 
ated from a product called pyrethrum and 
largely imported from the Orient. This new 
Dust employs pyrethrins compatibly com- 
bined with oils that are highly toxic and 
which enhance the killing quality against 
insect life and provide a greater and longer 
repellancy than is usual in a material of this kind. 
The toxic derivatives used in making this commodity thoroughly pen- 
etrate all the powder particles, activating them and protecting the 
finished material so that it will not decompose or oxidize over a long 
period of time. Thus it retains its effectiveness for a much longer 
period than most dusts on the market. 
DESTRUXOL PYRETOXIDE DUST NO. 15 is manufactured on new 
principles. Most of the so-called highly potent pyrethrum or rotenone 
dusts are made by dissolving active principles of pyrethrum (plant 
cells), extracting them in the form of resins and redissolving them 
on an inert carrier; as a result, the active principles instead of remain- 
ing sealed up in the plant cells, are deposited on the exterior of the 
particles so that they are available for the killing of insect life. 

A Destruxol Product 
DESTRUXOL PYRETOXIDE DUST NO. 15 is the result of an entirely 
different method of manufacture. Instead of extracting the active prin- 
ciples out of the pyrethrum (plant cells) and then impregnating them 
on an inert carrier, this process obtains more effective and economical 
results by using the pyrethrum powder itself as a base and treating it 
with a substantial portion (not less than 12% by weight) of the special 
type of toxic solvent mentioned, in which we have dissolved a propor- 
tion of pyrethrum olesresins. The result of this process is that the 
effective units of the material are left deposited on the exterior of the 
carrier, a large proportion of the toxic oils are kept highly active 
against insect life and the material possesses the additional repellant 
control mentioned. It is effective against many species of both sucking 
and chewing insects, such as Asparagus, Cucumber and many other 
species of Beetle life; Squash Bug, Cabbage Worm, Celery Leaf Tier, 
Leaf Miner, Red Spider, Mite, Grape Leaf Hopper, Thrips, Sod Web 
Worm and Flea Beetle in lawns, and many more. 
DESTRUXOL PYRETOXIDE DUST NO. 15 also extends its control 
to include mildew and similar fungus diseases, by means of its sulphur 
content (fine dusting sulphur, 85%). The addition of sulphur in this 
safe percentage gives it a tremendous advantage for dusting both fruit 
and vegetables highly susceptible to fungus. 
DESTRUXOL PYRETOXIDE DUST NO. 15 enjoys the crowning 
achievement of being harmless to both human and animal life—while 
retaining a deadly toxidity against the insect life mentioned. It leaves 
no residue which need be removed at time of harvest. This is a big 
advantage over many dusts whch are, in some instances, reactionary 
and fail to comply with the Tolerance Regulations of the Food and 
Drug Administration.
