Use Schling’s Selection of the Latest Improvements in Spraying and Dusting Material 
POST-WAR INSECTICIDES 
All brands have been considerably improved. Rotenone and Pyrethrum con- 
tent has been increased to maximum efficiency, and is no longer under govern- 
ment control. For instance, most wartime insecticides contained no more than 
Vz to 1% Rotenone and as little as 0.25% Pyrethrum, or none at all. 
Most post-war formulae contain 2 to 3% Rotenone and 0.75 to 1% 
Pyrethrum with improved spreaders. 
*Denotes products containing D.D.T. 

THE STORY ABOUT D.D.T. 
D.D.T. is an extremely long lasting and effective insecticide against most 
garden insects. 
It is unsurpassed as a control agent for Japanese beetle, flea beetle, 
leaf hopper, leaf rollers, corn ear worm, corn borer, thrips, codling moth 
and psyllids—in fact, most chewing insects and several sucking insects. 
It has NOT been proven successful against aphids and Mexican bean 
beetle. D.D.T. is poisonous but in varying degrees. As a powder it is prac- 
tically harmiess. As ai liquid it can be irritating to the skin. Avoid breath- 
ing dust or fumes. Don’t be afraid to use it according to directions appear- 
ing on each product. 
We consider D.D.T. in various preparations as essential for long-lasting 
protection on ORNAMENTAL plants, i.e. trees, shrubs, annual and peren- 
nial plants, roses and bulbous crops. 
We do NOT advise the use of D.D.T. preparations on any food crops other 
than Sweet Corn. Increased concentrations of Rotenone and Pyrethrum, 
both non-poisonous, in post-war dusts and sprays will take care of all 
vegetable pests safely. 
The Bee Problem—You need have no fear of destroying bees through 
use of D.D.T. on flowering plants. Bees enter open flowers only. Do not 
spray open flowers with D.D.T preparations.
