ROOTONE-—You can help cuttings to 
root faster by dipping them in the 
hormone powder, Rootone, before 
planting. Percentage of successful 
rooting is increased remarkably by 
this new treatment. 

TRANSPLANTONE- — Remarkable 
new Vitamin-Hormone stimulant ef- 
fective in reducing transplant shock, 
and wilt of all kinds of plants or 
shrubs. Also effective in bringing 
about earlier maturity on tomatoes, 
lettuce, celery, peppers, tobacco and 
cabbage. 

LEGUME INOCULATION — Just as 
necessary for garden peas and beans, 
lima beans, sweet peas and lupines as 
for alfalfa, clover, etc. The nitrogen- 
gathering bacteria build up the soil, 
increase your yields. Inoculation is 
the cheapest form of crop insurance.

FEEDING THE GARDEN 
e How much fertilizer? In general, the 
use of from 25 lbs. to 35 lbs. of a good 
general fertilizer like 4-12-4 or 5-10-5 
to every thousand square feet of gar- 
den space will take care of all the 
needs of most plants. 
e The addition of compost will make 
soil easier to work and .add certain 
minor elements not available in com- 
mercial plant foods. 
e Sheep or other animal manures are 
particularly valuable in sandy soils be- 
cause they add soil bacteria usually 
missing in such soils. 
e In growing root crops and bulbs the 
use of 4 to 5 lbs. of muriate or sulphate 
of potash to every 1,000 square feet will 
make for firmer bulbs, tubers and 
roots. Wood ashes can be substituted 
for these (except on potatoes, where 
the higher lime content of wood ashes 
encourages scab), applying 12 lbs. per 
1,000 square feet. 
e When seeds are planted at temper- 
atures below 42 degrees (i.e. lettuce, 
spinach and grass seed sown in early 
spring) the treatment of the seed with 
ROOTONE supplies hormones that 
substitute for the natural plant hor- 
mones which are not active at low 
temperatures. 

Notes on 
INSECTS AND DISEASES 
It is not possible to give complete di- 
rections for spraying for insects and 
diseases, but if you can bring in a 
specimen showing the difficulty we 
shall be glad to do all we can to rec- 
ommend a suitable spray or dust. 
e Chewing insects cut or tear out 
pieces of leaves or stems. They are 
killed by stomach poisons like calcium 
arsenate, arsenate of lead or Paris 
Green. When the insects are on plants 
that are to be eaten, Rotenone or 
Pyrethrum are safer, but do not ale 
ways give as complete control, as the 
insects themselves must be hit die 
rectly. 
e Sucking insects stab the stem or 
leaf and suck out the plant juices and 
cannot be poisoned through their 
stomachs. They are smothered by 
sprays or dusts that paralyze their 
breathing apparatus. Rotenone, Py- 
rethrum and Nicotine Sulphate are 
commonly used for this purpose. 
e Fungicides control most plant dis- 
eases, which are caused by fungi or 
moulds. Bordeaux mixture, dusting 
sulphur and lime sulphur are used for 
this purpose, while for seeds and po- 
tato tubers, organic mercury com- 
pounds like Semesan give good results.

e Compound spray materials are val- 
uable in the smaller garden, since they 
combine fungicides and insecticides, 
or materials for controlling both chew- 
ing and sucking insects. 
e CAUTION: Always use insecticides 
never 
stronger than recommended. Avoid 
using materials containing sulphur 
when the sun is shining brightly and 
when the air temperature is above 80 
degrees, as they will burn badly at 
temperatures above this point.
