mites. We have derived these conclusions by co-operative research with the 
State Department of Agriculture and the Department of Entomology of the 
University of Minnesota during the winter and spring of 1954 and the winter 
of 1954-55. The concentration of the spray material and the period of spray- 
ing is as recommended by the research workers of the Hort. Dept., U. of M. 
All of the potted plants shipped out by us have been sprayed with ENDRIN 
and are certified to be free from spiders, Cyclamen mites and other injurious 
insects. 
Caution should be used in preparing the spray material not to get the insecti- 
cide on the hands, face or body as it is highly irritant to the skin but is ex- 
tremely effective for the control of red spiders and Cyclamen mites. Care also 
should be taken not to inhale any of the fumes of the spray. If any of the 
material lodges on the skin of the user it should be thoroughly washed off 
immediately. 
ENDRIN is usually sold only in quantities of one gallon or more but only a 
small amount is necessary to spray 100 or more plants. For the convenience 
of our customers who are unable to get the material in small quantities we 
have prepared it in 4 oz. and 8 oz. bottles at $1.25 for the 4 oz. and $2.00 for 
the 8 oz. prepaid. 
The use of a good fungicide is also beneficial in promoting fruit production. 
We use CAPTAN which gives effective control of fungii and materially in- 
creases fruit production. We make 5 applications a week apart starting the 
latter part of April using a rounded teaspoonful of the material to one quart 
of water spraying the plants with the material so that they are well covered 
with the spray. We can supply the Captan if you are unable to get it else- 
where. 
DARK CORNISH BANTAMS 
Every youngster should have some sort of pet. There is no finer pet than a 
pair of bantams. They are beautiful in appearance; they are friendly; prac- 
tical; they require little space and will lay eggs for a long time during the 
year and a dressed bird is just a nice serving for two plates. They take little 
feed and care and are pleasing little rascals to have around the home. 
Price each, $7.50; pairs, $12.50
