Protexall. Use this one-shot spray for most garden insects and diseases. 
From a post-war formula, this combines D.D.T., which kills nearly all in- 
sects except some aphids, bean beetles and red spiders; Rotenone, the most 
effective pre-war, non-poisonous spray fatal to aphids, bean beetles and all 
insects unharmed by D.D.T.; Fe mate, greatest post-war discovery in 
fungicides and harmless to all plants; and Sulphur, safest pre-war fungicide. 
This combination, gives the most effective plant protection possible. Each 
ounce makes 3 gallons of spray. Oz. 35c.; 4 ozs. $1; Ib. $3.

eating insects. 3 ozs. (makes 4 gals.) 45c.; 12 ozs. (makes 15 gals.) $1.35. 
Spore Dust Japidemic. Contains the bacilli of the milky disease which kills 
the grubs of the Japanese beetle. By applying to the infested turf, the grubs 
are Infected with this disease and killed, as are subsequent broods of Japa- 
nese beetle grubs, because the milky disease bacteria remain alive and active. 
From each local area treated, this disease spreads and in time will provide 
complete coverage and remain effective for a long period. One pound, mixed 
with sand or soil for bulk, will cover 4000 sq. ft. of lawn. Lb. $5. 
Weed Killers 
Ammate Weed Killer. For permanent destruction of poison tvy and sumac. 
Spraying the foliage destroys both top growth and root system. It produces 
temporary soil sterility, which may be shortened by applying hydrated lime 
after the plants are killed. Ammate is not “selective’’ and may kill all kinds 
of plants which it contacts. To avoid fine mists drifting to other plants, use 
a coarse spray to localize the application. One pound in one gallon of water 
covers 100 sq. ft. 2 Ibs. 75c.; 6 Ibs. $2; 50 Ibs. $12. 
Herbicide Weed Killer. Kills weeds and vegetation of all kinds which it 
contacts. It is specially useful for keeping clay tennis courts, driveways, 
and gutters weed free. If thoroughly applied, it usually prevents growth 
for a year under normal conditions. Dilute with water, 1 quart making 
10 gals. of liquid sufficient for 250 sq. ft., 1 gallon making 40 gals. sufficient 
for 1000 sq. ft., and sprinkle. Qt. 75c.; gal. $1.95; 5 gals. $8.50. 
Weedout 2-4-D (Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid). This new hormone weed 
killer kills poison tvy, ragweed, honeysuckle, morning-glory and _ similar 
weeds. It destroys the root as well as the top growth. It also selectively 
destroys dandelion, plantain, chickweed, bindweed, purslane and many 
other weeds in Iawns without killing the lawn grass. Mix 4 teaspoonfuls in 
each gallon of water or 1 quart to 50 gallons. One gallon of this will treat 
200 sq. ft. Harmless, will not sterilize the soil. pt. $1; qt. $3; gal. $10. 
Zotox. Kills crab-grass plants and seeds without destroying permanent 
lawn grasses. This is possible because crab-grass has broader leaves than 
most turf grasses, which causes it to absorb an excess of the Zotox. Crab- 
grass, a shallow-rooted annual is less resistant to Zotox than the deep-rooted 
perennial grasses. This treatment, when directions are carefully followed, 
may temporarily discolor the turf but after a few days it regains its natural 
color, while the crab-grass is dead. 16 ozs. with 10 gals. water treats 2000 sq. 
ft. Apply after July 15. 8 ozs. $1; 16 ozs. $1.50; 32 ozs. $2.50.
