Know Your Plant 
Pests and Their 
Control Will Be 
Much Easier 
SAP SUCKERS 
These are, for the most part, the soft- 
bodied insects. They cluster under 
leaves of stem terminals, inserting their 
long beaks into the plant proper and 
nourish their destructive bodies with 
the plant juices. Heavy infestations 
will cause the death of the plant or 
will invariably sicken it. Aphids and 
mealy bugs seem to be the worst of- 
fenders with white flies and red spiders 
running neck-and-neck. Most com- 
mon indication is blighting of leaves, 
with resultant loss of vigor. Plants ap- 
pear sickly, leaves blotch and scum- 
like substance forms at base of stems. 
The use of STAFFEL’S SAFE-S-PRAY 
at this time is strongly indicated. 
LEAF CHEWERS 
These are the beetles and caterpillars. 
Indications of their eating habits are 
readily evident. Leaves are chewed and 
stems left bare; in many cases entire 
plant is cut down to the ground. These 
pests must be destroyed with a stom- 
ach poison. Close inspection of plants 
will disclose the source of trouble. 
Hand-picking of the large worms (like 
the tomato horn worm) is good but a 
thorough dusting with STAFFEL’S TRIO, 
the insecticide dust with the built-in 
dust gun, will do a real good bug- 
killing job. 
DISEASES 
Blights, rusts, mildews, black spots 
(anthracnose) and other fungous ail- 
ments of plant life are easily spotted 
and in many cases, easily controlled 
with thorough treatments of STAF- 
FEL’S Special ROSE DUST. Preventive 
dusting, however, is best. Periodic 
dustings at intervals throughout the 
life of the plant is the best measure to 
take against plant disease. 
FORAGING PESTS 
These are the vandals which eat your 
garden while you sleep. Sowbugs are 
ihe worst offenders, with cut worms, 
snails and earwigs getting into the 
act. STAFFEL’S BUG BAIT, the highly 
pcpulor ready-mixed poison, sprinkled 
around the garden, will easily take 
care of this problem.
