New Wonder Insecticide for Lawn 
Insect Control 
Destroys Cutworms and Other 
Insects 
LAWNTROL

is not a dust that blows away, but a granule that falls 
to the soil where it goes to work FAST—no mixing— 
no messy liquids—just sprinkle Lawn- 
trol granules from the handy shaker 
spout, or mix with fertilizer and ap- 
ply from a spreader. It kills Japanese 
} Beetle Grubs, Ants, Pillbugs (Sow- 
I] bugs), Chinehbugs, Chiggers, Cut-

structive pests. The new LAWNTROL

FORMACIDE—for Damping Off 
Scab, Mold, Black Leg, etc. 
Stop Damping-Off. Unprotected tender seedlings 
are helpless before this deadly fungus disease. Every 
planter of vegetables and flower seed should use 
FORMACIDE to prevent seeds decaying in the ground 
and to prevent seedling plants from dying when small. 
By applying FORMACIDE to the soil and using Bur- 
gess’ Disease Treated Seeds, your seedlings and plants 
are, at a very small expense, doubly protected against 
the most serious plant disease problem confronting 
horticulturists. FORMACIDE also disinfects the soil 
sufficiently to kill other fungus diseases which may 
cause scab, mold, black leg, ete. It also stimulates 
plant growth, gives stronger plants, and increases 
productivity. Soil treated with FORMACIDE can be 
planted immediately. FORMACIDE can even be mixed 
with fertilizer and drilled directly with the seed at 
the rate of 1 Ib. to a 450-foot row. y 
PRICES: (1 lb. $1.00) (4 Ibs. $2.65) prepaid.

PLANTONE and started picking three weeks earlier.

weeks earlier.’’ Always use TRANSPLANTONE when 
moving plants. It reduces wilting and gives the plant 
a quicker start. 
Water your shrubs, roses and garden plants with 
TRANSPLANTONE solution and have stronger plants.

and easy to use. 1 oz. makes 10 gallons of transplant- 
ing solution or 1,000 gallons of solution for watering.

FRUITONE—Increases Yields 
Stops Premature Drop of Flowers—Fruifs—Leaves 
FRUITONE, the hormone spray, helps pollina- 
tion, thus produces better set of fruit. Some va- 
rieties of fruit trees and berry plants that ordi- 
narily do not set fruit unless a male plant is near 
to fertilize the flowers on the female plants, can 
be made to set fruit without the use of pollen, by 
spraying with FRUITONE when plants are in bloom. 
Spraying with FRUITONE has given as much as 
a 30% increase in yield of Beans; 35 to 50% in- 
crease of Cotton; and 12 more bushels of corn per 
acre. 
FRUITONE stops premature drop of apples and 
other fruits. Contains the same chemicals found by 
the United States Department of Agriculture to be 
most effective. Holds apples on the tree to ma- 
turity of size and color. 
2-0z. package (enough for 25 gallons of spray), 
$1.00; 12-0z. can (enough for 150 gallons), $5.00,
