DAMAGE 
Leaves, stems or limbs 
will be chewed and eat- 
en. Mostly damage is 
evident on leaves which 
take on a ragged ap- 
pearance around the 
edges. Sometimes leaves 
appear skeletonized. 
Often foliage is covered 
with black, dirt-like ex- 
creta which looks like 
it comes from plant. 
“Shotholes” in leaves 
are evidence of small 
beetles. 
————————— 
Plants and foliage yel- 
low, weaken and often 
die. Leaves take on a 
blighted or “burnt” ap- 
pearance. Red Spiders 
cause dusty, white-pow- 
dered appearance made 
made up of white 
specks on underside of 
leaves. White Flies 
make themselves evi- 
dent by spotty mold 
which grows in the 
honey dew given off by 
white fly nymphs. 
Eat mostly at night, 
defoliating shrubb ery 
plants and trees. Plant 
seedlings are _ their 
specialty, often level- 
ing off entire seedling 
areas. Leaves common- 
ly chewed ragged.

GENERAL CONTROL MEASURES 
Spraying or dusting with reliable insecticides before the 
infestation is too severe is a must. Actually, preventive 
measures are best. A thorough spraying of the flower 
garden and shrubbery with STAFFEL’S SAFE-S-PRAY 
will often control all insects for an entire planting season. 
STAFFEL’S HEMIPTERA 20% (Sabadilla) DUST is high- 
ly recommended for the Vegetable garden. STAFFEL’S 
56% MALATHION SPRAY is one of the newest all- 
around effective insect control agents. 
Generally speaking, there is no kill-all for suckling insects. 
altho STAFFEL’S SAFE-S-PRAY will control most of 
them. STAFFEL’S LIN-HEX SPRAY is highly effective 
against Thrips, Aphids and many soil insects. Red Spider, 
Mites, Mealy Bugs, Whiteflies and others needing a highly 
penetrating spray for effective control are easily killed 
with STAFFEL’S 56% MALATHION SPRAY. Squash 
Bugs, Harlequin Bugs and others infesting vegetable crops 
can be best controlled with repeated applications of STAF- 
FEL’S HEMIPTERA 20% (Sabadilla) DUST. 
STAFFEL’S NEW BUG BAIT is the most effective con- 
trol method to use against these pests. It is a specially 
prepared, easy-to-use, sure-kill bait which does its best 
work when applied late in the evening after watering. 
Combined with STAFFEL’S 10% DDT DUST or STAF- 
FEL’S 10% CHLORDANE DUST it makes a combination 
killer nothing else can beat. Hundreds of home gardeners 
are using STAFFEL’S NEW BUG BAIT and are discover- 
ing that it is particularly effective against Sow Bugs 
(Pill Bugs). 
Most plant diseases are caused by minute 
spores ever-present in the air.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS 
RASCAL: 
He’s a striped Cucumber Beetle. 
The larvae feed only on the 
roots of cucumber, muskmelon, 
winter squash, pumpkin, water 
melon, etc., but the beetles 
feed also on beans, peas, corn 
and other vegetables. Beetles 
are yellowish with 3 black 
stripes; about 1/5 inch long. 
Control at first sign of infesta- 
tion with STAFFEL’S HEMIP- 
TERA or STAFFEL’S PYROCIDE 
DUST. 
Buy yourself a can of STAFFEL’S 
Special COPPER ROSE DUST. Comes 
complete, ready to use with a built-in 
dust gun. Periodic dustings will hold 
down or control most plant disease. 
Micro-pulverized for better adherence to 
leaves. Some blights are really caused 
by sucking insects and must be treated 
with insecticides. 
Do not water plant foliage at night and 
Rusts and Mildews will be more easily 
controiled.
