Inseeticides & Weed Killers 
Becoming Highly Effective 
The age-old battle with weeds and insects that has always confronted the 
gardener and farmer is becoming more and more one-sided in favor of the 
grower. 
Chemical science, working hand in hand with agronomists has advanced from 
those early days of D D T and 2,4-D until today we have highly effective 
specialized dusts and sprays that practically insure better and higher yields 
with less labor and expense than ever before. 
New 2, 4, 5-T Kills Brush 
Latest of the hormone-type chemicals is 
new 2, 4, 5-1. This chemical is even more 
potent against broad-leaved weeds than 
2, 4-D 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. 
Muli-Purpose Sprays 
From the home gardener's standpoint, 
perhaps the most important development 
in modern garden pest control is the 
combining 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 avail- 
able at your seed store—together with 
all the information you need. 
Modern Weed Killing 
When the rains come, weeds start 
coming 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 chem- 
ical 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 ordi- 
nary 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. 
Modern Dusts 
If you prefer to dust, you have several 
good multi-purpose garden dusts to 
choose from. These dusts contain bal- 
anced combinations of modern insec- 
ticides and fungicides—but may also 
contain reliable old-type chemicals such 
as sulfur. | 
An example of a good muiti-purpose 
garden dust is one that contains two in- 
secticides and two fungicides—the most 
important ingredient being, of course, 
the potent new insecticide, lindane. This. 
multi-purpose dust controls certain suck- 
ing, insects chewing insects, wireworms 
and other soil insects; ants, earwigs, 
spiders; and also such plant diseases as 
mildew, black spot and rust. 
Another example is a general flower 
and rose dust. This is especially formu- 
lated for your roses, other flowers, orna- 
mentals and shrubs. It is a combination 
of several chemicals, two of which are 
lindane and DDT. This dust also is ef- 
fective in controlling 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 ac- 
cording to the directions and you get 
multi-purpose control of both insects and 
fungus diseases, 
In one such spray set, for example, 
you will find a bottie of modern insecti- 
cide spray, a bottle of the reliable 
older-type oil spray, and a bottle of 
copper fungicide spray for powdery mil- 
dew. In another spray set you'll find a 
bottle containing the newest of garden 
insecticides—lindane, and a bottle of a 
recently-developed fungus 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 cononect 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 
garden pests as snails, slugs and cut- 
worms, you have another improvement 
over the old-style meal baits in the 
modern pelieted-type of bait. The pellets 
contain metal-dehyde-arsenic poisons 
and give multi-purpose protection to the 
young, succulent growth of your garden 
plants.
