4105—VERMOREL DUST GUN. 
This is an all purpose duster for 
both field and garden crops. It 
will dust anything from beans to 
fruit trees and do the work effici- 
ently and with ease. It is the 
only practical duster for handling 
heavy material like Arsenate of 
Lead. It fits on the operator’s 
back with wide shoulder straps 
and padded back rest, leaving both 
hands free for easy operation. It 
is a bellows action worked from a 
lever in the right hand. The left 
hand operates the flexible hose and 
nozzle. It has a large material hopper with wide opening and 
handy scoop filler. Valves and bellows are replaceable. It has 
an improved feed regulator in easy reach of the operator. This 
gun will dust as much field acreage as the average horse drawn 
duster and do the work easier and with less material. It is a 
well made machine that should last a lifetime with reasonable 
care. 
Price—$30.00 each delivered East of the Mississippi River. 


EndoPest 
This is a new three way insecticide put out by Swift & Co., 
the makers of Vigoro. This insecticide and package were 
designed to give the small gardener one insecticide with a cheap 
applicator for use on all plants to control both chewing and 
sucking insects as well as a fungicide for the control of plant 
diseases. The package is designed to serve as a dust gun for 
applying the powder. There is nothing else to buy. Then 
when you have used all of the material, you can get a refill 
cartridge that will work in the same applicator. For the 
flower and small vegetable garden this will prove ideal, because 
it is cheap, simple, and easy to use. There is no need to buy 
a dust gun or sprayer and a lot of different insecticides. Just 
a package of Endopest and a refill or two will keep the garden 
healthy and free of insects for a whole season.

like common salt and can be used either dry or in solution. It 
is an easy method of eradicating certain weeds and growth from 
walks, hedges, and places that have grown up in honeysuckle. 
It is easy to apply and not only kills the growth on the land 
but sterilizes the soil so that nothing will grow on it for several 
months. Used in solution, mix one pound of weed killer to each 
gallon of water and spray with any good sprayer or use sprink- 
ling pot. Just wet foliage thoroughly. For dry applications

FERMATE 
BLUE MOLD CONTROL 
FOR 
TOBACCO PLANTS 
We have seen Fermate used on hundreds of 
plant beds and are convinced that it is the best 
treatment for Blue Mold. It is much easier to 
use than many of the remedies we have heard 
of and it is far more effective than anything 
we have ever seen. Fermate not only controls 
the Blue Mold but makes the plants develop 
faster and live better when transplanted. 
Fermate is a black powder packed in three 
pound bags and a bag will take care of 100 sq. 
yds. of plant bed for the season. Use three to 
four level tablespoonfuls of Fermate to each 
gallon of water. Put the Fermate in a quart 
fruit jar, add a little water and shake until 
thoroughiy mixed. Then add this mixture to 
the desired quantity of water. Mix only enough 
for one spraying. Do not leave it stand for 
days after mixing. Three gal. spray will cover 
100 sq. yds. of bed when the plants are small. 
On large plants use 6 gal. spray. Start before 
the Blue Mold shows up. A good rule is to 
start spraying when the leaves are about the 
size of a quarter. Then spray every fourth day 
until they are transplanted. 
3 lb. bags Fermate $2.40, postpaid.
