THE FACTS 
about the newer Pest Controls 
With the remarkable advances that have been made in the past several years in 
modern pest control chemicals, it is easier than ever for you to grow a bigger, 
better and more beautiful garden. 
Thanks to modern scientific research, 
such potent chemicals as DDT, TEPP, 
chlordane, methoxychlor, 2, 4-D and 2, 4, 5-T and the recently-developed “lin- 
dane” are now available to home gardeners. 
Multi-Purpose Sprays 

From the hom 
perhaps the most important development in 
gardener’s standpoint, 
modern garden pest control is the com- 
bining of several of these chemicals into 
one multi-purpose dust or spray ... so 
that many different kinds of pests can be 
controlled. All you have to do is to dust 
or spray regularly at seven to ten-day 
intervals . . . and you get control of most 
of the pests you'll find in your garden. 
For the pests which do not yield to this 
treatment, science has provided many 
specialized sprays and dusts. These are all 
easy to use—and are available at your 
seed store—together with all the informa- 
tion you need. 
Modern Dusts 
If you prefer to dust, you have several 
good multi-purpose garden dusts. to 
choose from, These dusts contain balanced 
combinations of modern insecticides and 
fungicides—but may also contain reliable 
old-type chemicals such as sulfur. 
An example of a good multi-purpose 
garden dust is one that contains two in- 
secticidees and two fungicides—the most 
important ingredient being, of course, the 
potent new insecticide, lindane. This mul- 
ti-purpose dust controls certain sucking, 
insects chewing insects, wireworms and 
other soil insects; ants, earwigs, spiders; 
adn also such plant diseases as mildew, 
black spot and rust. 
Another example is a general flower and 
rose dust. This is especially formulated for 
your roses, other flowers, ornamentals and 
shrubs. It is a combination of several 
chemicals, two of which are lindane and 
DDT. This dust also is effective in con- 
trolling sucking, chewing and soil insects; 
ants, earwigs, and many plant diseases. 
Modern Sprays 
If you prefer to spray your flowers and 
other garden plants, there are modern 
multi-purpose garden spray sets and rose 
spray kits you can use. These consist of 
several bottles, each containing one of the 
modern insecticides or fungicides. You 
combine them in your sprayer according 
to the directions and you get multi-purpose 
control of both insects and fungus di- 
seases. 
In one such spray set, for example, you 
will find a bottle of modern insecticide 
spray, a bottle of the reliable older-type 
oil spray, and a bottle of copper fungicide 
spray for powdery mildew. In another 
spray set you'll find a bottle containing 
the newest of garden insecticides—lindane, 
and a bottle of a recently-developed fun- 
gus spray that has been doing wonders in 
controlling powdery mildew, rose rust and 
peach leaf curl. In addition, this particular 
spray set contains one of the new-type 
garden hose sprayers that is designed to 
make your garden spraying as easy as 
watering. You just connect the sprayer to 
the end of the garden hose and turn on 
the water to spray. 
Modern Garden Baits 
When it comes to controlling such gar- 
den pests as snails, slugs and cutworms, 
you have another improvement over the 
old-style meal baits in the modern pelleted- 
type of bait. The pellets contain metal- 
dehyde-arsenic poisons 
purpose protection to the young, succulent 
growth of your garden plants.

Modern Weed Killing 
When the rains come, weeds start com- 
ing up in the driveway and paths, along 
the curb, among the patio bricks, along 
the fence and garage, and in other places 
where you don’t want any vegetation to 
grow. 
You can now keep these places free of 
weeds easily and quickly—without the 
old-fashioned method of hand hoeing— 
simply by using a modern weed killer 
containing arsenic trioxide. This chemical 
kills weeds and also sterilizes the soil so 
no vegetation will grow for a year or 
two. You simply apply it to these places 
with a sprayer or an ordinary sprinkling 
can. An important feature to home owners 
is that the chemical is non-inflammable and 
can be used to reduce ‘‘dry-weed”’ fire 
hazards. 
New 2, 4, 5-T Kills Brush 
Latest of the hormone-type chemicals is 
new 2, 4, 5-T. This chemical is even more 
potent against broad-leaved weeds than 
2, 4D and is especially effective against 
hard-to-kill perennial weeds and brushy 
plants. If you want to get rid of poison 
ivy, poison oak, willows, sagebrush or 
similar brushy weeds, just spray or paint 
them with a 2, 4, 5 brush killer.
