RED SPIDER CONTROL 
Parathion, sold under various trade names, proved to be highly satisfactory for the 
control of "red spider," and nearly all dahlia pests, where ever it was used during the 
past season. Combined, or alternated with DDT, it is the nearest to being ideal of 
any Beige yet put on the market. See Cultural Hints, under “Red Spider Mite" on 
page 60. 
Parathion, when sold under a trade name, always has the name “Parathion" appear- 
ing on the package. Look for the name when buying to be sure you get what you want.
