INSECTICIDES 
INSECT CONTROL 
Since the use of DDT much more red spider and mite 
have been prevalent on dahlias. We have used DDT, nico- 
tine sulphate, rotenone, and pyrethrum in a spray with fair 
results. Have used DDT with Hexate with fairly good re- 
sults but we could not recommend either of these sprays 
to our customers as they gave only a partial control. 
A NEW INSECT CONTROL 
We have obtained exceptional results, practically 100% 
insect control with one application of the following spray: 
2 heaping tablespoonfuls of 50% wettable BHC in combina- 
tion with 1/3 teaspoonful TAT Hexate and 12 teaspoonful 
LINCK WA to each gallon of water. Use the same precau- 
tion as when spraying with nicotine sulphate. This we feel 
sure will control the red spider, aphis, mite, and thrips 
along with practically all the other troublesome insects with 
the possible exception of the European Corn Borer. 
TAT BHC contains the new outstanding chemical Benzene 
Hexachloride. This product acts as a contact, stomach and 
fumigant insecticide. It is up to 15 times as toxic to cer- 
tain insects as DDT yet only 1/5 as toxic to warm blooded 
animals. Exceptionally effective against sucking bugs, aphids, 
leaf-eating insects (even killing the egg), wireworms, thrips, 
scale, grasshoppers, locusts and ants. It does not have the 
long residual effectiveness of DDT due to its fumigant ac- 
tion, however, this is advantageous in that it reduces the 
danger of any long lasting residue. 1% Ibs BHC, $1.75 
postpaid, including 4th zone. Add 5c for each additional 
zone. 5 Ibs BHC $5.00 postpaid including 4th zone. Add 
10c for each additional zone. 
Although it has a somewhat objectionable odor, the re- 
sults are so far ahead of anything else that you gladly 
tolerate the musty odor. 
TAT HEXATE is a newly formulated compound contain- 
ing Hexaethyl Tetraphosphate and a wetting, spreading 
agent. Replaces nicotine sulphate in controlling aphids; also 
excellent for control of plant mites (such as red spider), and 
other insects. 6 oz. bottle Hexate, $2.25 Postpaid. Only 
$2.00 when ordered with BHC. 
We also add Linck WA a superior wetting agent when 
using low pressure for spraying. 6 oz. bottle 50c, 16 oz. 
bottle $1.00, when ordered with above. 
TAT 16 page Manual on Insect Control Free on Request. 
CORN BORER DUST (Nicotine Bentonite Dust). 4% actual 
nicotine content with wetting agent added. Four to five 
applications should be made at five to six day intervals, 
starting at the time of the first eggs’ hatching. Five pounds 
should take care of 100 to 150 dahlia bushes for four ap- 
plications (size of bush will vary amount needed). Direc- 
tions with each package. 5 Ibs. Postpaid, including 4th 
zone, $2.50; add 10c for each zone beyond 4th; 25 Ibs., 
express collect, $7.50. 
PYRETHRUM SOAP. A non-poisonous insecticide effective 
on most insect life and not injurious to animals or plants. 
Will not burn foliage or buds. A desirable spray for aphids 
and for thrips and leafhoppers when used with Black Leaf 
Forty. Four ounces make 4 to 5 gallons of spray. Postpaid, 
including the 4th zone, 4 oz., 60c; 16 oz., $1.60; quart, 
$2.50; gallon, $8.00.

CUTTING SHIPMENTS 
Plants will be shipped from April 15th to July 15th,

special delivery service at post office of destination; in

antee safe delivery unless plants or rooted cuttings are

TERMS AND DELIVERY 
Orders will be filled with strong, field-grown root divi- 
sions unless pot roots, green plants or rooted cuttings are
