Treat Seed Before Planting 
INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 
Insecticides fall into three classes: stomach poisons, contact poisons, and repellants. Paris Green, Arsenate 
of Lead, Calcium Arsenate—all poisonous to animals, including man—were for a long time the only stomach 
poisons known. A few years ago the scientists discovered a tropical plant from which could be made a material 
poisonous to chewing insects and worms but harmless to the warm-blooded animals. This is Rotenone. Rotenone 
should be used on all vegetables where leafy parts covered by spray or dust are to be eaten. 
Black Leaf 40" is a nicotine spray that kills plant lice by contact. The new insecticide, DDT, is also a 
contact dust or spray. It is very effective on worms, thrip, and leaf-hoppers but will not kill plant lice or Mexican 
bean beetles. 
Tobacco dust is repellent dust used to keep flea beetles off cabbage, cauliflower seedlings, tomatoes, and other 
tender plants. 
Dry Lime and Sulphur and Bordeaux mixture are fungicides used to control fungus diseases.

SEED DISINFECTANTS 
With the exception of New Improved Ceresan for grain where treatment of the seed definitely controls 
disease, seed treatment is mainly beneficial in that it protects the seed from fungus and molds that kill the seeds 
in the ground. This is especially true when the soil is cold and wet; therefore, it is far more important to treat 
early planted vegetable seed than seed planted later in the season. We consider it good insurance to treat sweet 
corn with Semesan Jr. and lima beans with Spergon at any time.
