ORDER EARLY 
Early orders will help us in booking your order and 
reserving the stock for you and thus schedule it for 
the proper shipping time. Do not send us an order at 
the height of our shipping season and expect delivery 
in 3 to 5 days. The orders booked weeks and months 
ahead that are scheduled for specific shipping dates 
will go out first and the last minute orders will follow 
as soon as we can get them off. 
On late orders, kindly give a second choice. Owing

INSECTICIDES 
INSECT CONTROL 
Since the use of DDT much more red spider and 
spider mite have been prevalent on dahlias. We have 
used DDT, nicotine sulphate, rotenone, and pyrethrum 
in a spray with fair results. Have used DDT with Hexate 
with fairly good results but we could not recommend 
either of these sprays fo our customers as they gave 
only a partial control. 
RECOMMENDED INSECT CONTROL 
(See Cultural Instructions) 
We have obtained exceptional results, practically 
100% insect control with one application of the follow- 
ing spray: To each gallon of water add: 
2 heaping tablespoonfuls of TAT 50% wettable BHC 
V3 teaspoonful LINCK WA 
V3 teaspoonful TAT Hexate or Vapotone-XX. 
Use the same precaution as when spraying with 
nicotine sulphate. 
TAT BHC contains the new outstanding chemical Ben- 
zene Hexachloride. 1/2 Ibs. BHC, $1.75 postpaid, in- 
cluding 4th zone. Add 5c for each additional zone. 
4V2 Ibs. BHC, $5.00 postpaid, including 4th zone. Add 
10c for each additional zone. 
Although it has a somewhat objectionable odor, the 
results are so far ahead of anything else that you 
gladly tolerate the musty odor. 
TAT HEXATE is a newly formulated compound con- 
taining Tetraethyl Pyrophosphate and a wetting, spread- 
ing 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, 
$2.00 postpaid. 
VAPOTONE-XX SPRAY. A new organic insecticide 
containing Tetraethyl Pyrophosphate. This may be sub- 
stituted for TAT HEXATE in above Recommended Insect 
Control. Although a lower analysis, it has given equal 
results for us and costs less money. 4 oz., $1.15; 16 oz., 
$3.00 postpaid. 
LINCK WA. A superior wetting agent when using low 
pressure for spraying. 6 oz. bottle, 50c; 16 oz. bottle, 
$1.00. 
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 applications (size of bush will vary 
amount needed). Directions with each package. 5 Ibs. 
pestpaid, including 4th zone, $2.50; add 10c for each 
zone beyond 4th; 25 lIbs., express collect, $7.50.
