MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md. Varieties of Special Merit QUE general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. The following recently improved strains, however, are worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every pro- gressive market gardener. BEETS MANNS’ NEW MODEL—Has become a favorite with market gardeners supplying the most critical trade. A thoroughly established strain, dependable year after year for its uniform maturity, deep red color, freedom from light zones, and good bunching tops. New Model is no longer “new.” It has been grown for nearly ten years in the vicinity of Baltimore, and each year our sales of it have increased over the previous year. We do not know any beet that will beat New Model as a main crop variety for this section. %4 Ib., 25c; Ib., 85c; 10 Ibs., $7.50. CABBAGE CHIEFTAN SAVOY—Received the award of Merit, 1938 All- American selection. Produces well formed, medium sized firm heads, outstanding in uniformity and quality. Page 9. CARROT SUNRISE—A favorite with market garden trade because of its fine quality, perfect shape and attractive color. Specially valuable for medium and late use, an excellent keeper and thoroughly dependable. Oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 30c; Ib. $1.00; 10 Ibs., $8.50. CAULIFLOWER WHITE MOUNTAIN—Selected out of a series of trials as the most dependable uniform heading variety for the vicinity of Baltimore. Page 11. CELERY MANNS’ GOLDEN (Special)—A more uniform strain of Golden Plume, has better hearts, is earlier and more easily blanched than other types. Strictly dependable for com- mercial production. Oz., $1.00; 14 lb., $3.50; 1b., $12.50. CORN MANNS’ EARLY SUPERIOR—This new variety is of remarkable size considering its earliness. The ears are 8 inches long and have 16 to 20 rows of rather narrow deep grains. The quality is excellent and the attractive appear- ance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a very pettemae sort for the Market Gardener. Qt., 35c; pk., $1.75; u., $6.00. MANNS’ No. 56—The best, largest, most saleable early market corn we ever have known. It can be planted ex- tremely early without danger of rotting, which makes it possible to produce marketable ears at least five weeks ahead of Stowell’s Evergreen. Resembles sugar corn, an excellent shipper and a money maker. Qt., 50c; pk., $3.25; bu., $12.00. LETTUCE Four new money making strains, New York (Iceberg) types, all adapted to Eastern growing conditions; MANNS’ SPECIAL No. 10, IMPERIAL No. 44, IMPERIAL No. 847 and COSBERG—see pages 20, 21. ASPARAGUS 1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre; 3,000 plants per acre. Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty seed to each foot of row. Thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer. Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. The next season the bed may be cut over two or three times. After the final cutting, give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt. MARY WASHINGTON—Resistant to disease, large, early and produces remarkably tender dark green stalks with very compact purplish green tips. Pkt., 10c; 2 ozs., 15c; %4 Ib., 25c; lb., 75c. PARADISE—New early, extremely strong, vigorous produ- cer, rust resistant. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; 14 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $5.00. Superior Seeds RADISH SCARLET GLOBE No. 8—So uniform in its maturity that each sowing can be entirely gathered and bunched at one pulling, with practically no waste. This means more bunches per row, more time saved in bunching, and the ground ready for the next crop a week earlier. % lb., 25c; Ib., 75ic; 10 Ibs., $6.00; 100 Ibs., $50.00. RUTABAGA NEW CANADIAN—Grown for a number of years in the North and held very closely by private individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type. After three years of searching and checking in our trial grounds, we have found the correct strain and offer it with every assurance that it will soon become the only Rutabaga grown in this section. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.25. TOMATOES IMPROVED ADVANCE—An extra early, large tomato of high quality, round or slightly flattened shape, and exceptionally smooth for such an early variety. As early and hardy as Earliana and yielding more fruit both in the first and subsequent pickings. It is more shapely, more free from cracks and shows less green about the stem than other extra early sorts. With Improved Advance the grower can produce a crop which will stand superior in appearance and quality, in competition with the other extra earlies and command the fancy prices of an early market. Oz., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.75; Ib., $6.00. RUTGERS tomato has become so popular due to its quality and yield that it naturally has had wide distribution and publicity. It is very important however that seeds of this new variety be purchased from the most reliable sources, as some stocks have been grown more carefully than others and preservation of the original qualitites has been an expen- sive item in its reproduction. Manns’ stock of Rutger’s is not only certified but has been produced from stock seed which we have proven to be superior to two other certified stocks. Oz., 40c; %4 Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.00. ASPARAGUS ROOTS From one to two years may be saved by planting Asparagus roots instead of seed. Choice, 2-year-old roots, all leading varieties. $1.25 per 100; $8.00 per 1,000. MARY WASHING- TON, $1.25 per 100; $8.50 per 1,000. ARTICHOKE LARGE GREEN GLOBE—About 500 plants from 1 ounce. The scale-like leaves of the flower heads are used as a salad or boiled, making a delicious dish which is very popular with ms cone and Italians. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; +» $5.00. JERUSALEM OR TUBEROUS ROOTED—Grown exclu- sively for their large potato-like roots which are valuable for feeding hogs. Price, 4 pk., 45c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00. Expressage extra. J. MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md. 3 BUSH BEANS 1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 144 bushels per acre. Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row according to variety. Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandy loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th. ROUND GREEN PODDED VARIETIES Asgrow (Stringless Black Valentine.)

Black Valentine Stringless (Round Pod)—Produces strictly round, stringless pods. Not as early nor as prolific as the oval type and will not stand planting as early.

It combines vigor, earliness and productiveness. The pods are produced in abundance and are handsome in appearance, being rich dark green in color, smooth, absolutely round, meaty, stringless, free from fiber, and of exceptionally delicate quality.

Borecole should be grown like cabbage, the seed being sown from early spring to the middle of August. It is customary to pull off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on to furnish a continuous supply. , This variety is one of the Hardy Winter most salable and profitable sorts for either the home or market gardener. The plant attains a height of 18 inches and pro- duces an abundance of beautiful light green leaves, which are densely curled and crimped. It is extremely hardy and has the additional advan- tage of putting forth a second crop of leaves after the first have been gathered or have fallen off. Superior Extra Curled Green The leaves of this variety are very Scotch much more curled than the Dwarf- Green Scotch, and many more bushels per acre can be cut due to the extremely vigorous growth, which is characteristic of this variety.

Our stock is grown from choice selected and transplanted roots only, and are of the truest type and richest color money can procure. CULTURE.—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots, however, are developed in rich, fri- able soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which usually means good growing weather and proper cul- tivation. Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer months it is well to protect the seed bed with a thin layer of chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases. The usual danger from ground worms and slugs is of course always prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months. 0 . , Developed especially as a California Bunching bunching carrot for long distance shipping.

Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown out of doors in a finely prepared seed bed during April. See that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three inches apart each way. These must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants will grow more stocky. The plants are usually set out in the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually best to do this during July or the first of August. In some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June. The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and well enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply, the rows being spaced 83 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them fre- quently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of moisture. When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the earth to fall between the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until only the top of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is liable to result in injury from rust. This new strain of Golden Self- Golden Plume Blanehing has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties.

Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For early crop sow in a seed-bed in September or October and protect through the winter with cold frames, which should be re- moved as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by prolonged frost or frequent freezing and thawing. The seed may also be sown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if well hardened, may usually be set in the open ground in April, maturing a crop much earlier than complete open ground cultivation would produce. If, however, it is not convenient to get the plants started either in the fall or early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in open ground from the middle of April until July, selecting varieties suit- able for the season. The plants should stand 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, and the rows should be about 18 inches apart. As a lettuce for greenhouse forcing Grand Rapids this variety undoubtedly stands at the head of the list, being of quick growth, hardy, little liable to rot and remaining in condition several days after being fit to cut.

To grow sets 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds to the acre. The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well rotted manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the ground, they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow: do not cover the young bulbs with earth. Early Yellow Globe Matures medium large uniform globe-shaped bulbs in about 98 days from time of sowing. Keeps exceptionally well. White Silver Skin, or Portugal This is the most popular variety o all white Onions; is almost exclusively used for growing sets. It is a good keeper. The bulbs grow to good size, ripening early and quite evenly. The flesh is mild and sweet, the thin skin a clear silvery white, of handsome appear- ance if the bulbs are gathered as soon as ripened and carefully dried under shelter away from the strong sunlight. When seed is sown at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, it makes bulbs of suitable size and most desirable for pickling. White Pearl Very fine White Silver Skin Onion planted for sets. Southport White Globe Pure white, true globe form with very crisp flesh, exceedingly mild and fine grained, usually commands highest prices. One of the best for the production of large onions for Fall Japanese and Winter market, yielding almost twice as many bushels per acre than any other set onion. Somewhat similar to Flat Danvers in color and shape but a trifle thicker and very much larger in circumference. They are very mild, excellent keepers, rapid growers and very few go to seed. The appearance, size, quality and wonderful yields of this variety give it a prominent place among the most valuable sorts. , Produces large, well-ripened bulbs the first season from Prizetaker seed; flesh white; crisp and mild in flavor. The skin is thin, of a bright straw-yellow; form nearly a perfect globe. Under ordinary cultivation this variety will yield bulbs nearly three times as large as the Globe Danvers, while under special cultivation specimen bulbs have been raised to weigh from 4 to 5 pounds each.

Peas grow best on a light, rich, mellow soil under cool and moist weather con- ditions. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided. The extra early varieties are very hardy and should be planted as soon as the ground can be made ready, while the larger wrinkled varieties, which are not as hardy but of superior quality, may be planted when the soil has become slightly warmed, as the seed will rot if planted too early. For private use, sow the seed in double rows, 18 inches apart and 3 inches apart in the row; for market, in single rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the rows. The peas will give quicker returns if covered only one inch deep, and where earliness is most important they may be treated this way. Larger pods and greater quantity will be produced if the seed is planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered with only one to two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six inches high, fill the trench level with the surface. This will result in deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. If the peas are covered to the full depth at first, or if water is allowed to stand in the trenches the seed will not germinate or grow well. The crop should be gathered as fast as it becomes fit for use, as even a few ripe pods left on the vines tend to retard the development of the young pods and prevent the formation of new ones.

For an early crop sow the seed as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover- ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started, thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should be made at intervals of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties best suited for the season. Extra Early Scarlet Globe No. 8 From Specially Selected Transplanted Roots A reselected strain so uniform in its maturity that each sowing can be entirely gathered and bunched at one pulling, with prac- tically no waste. This means more bunches per row, more time saved in bunching, and the ground ready for the next crop a week earlier. This equalized maturity also permits sowing this crop between rows of beans, corn, etc., as a “catch crop.” This is the market gardener’s favorite as a forcing Radish, very early; mild and crisp, juicy and tender; ample top, will stand heat without becoming pithy.

A better crop will be produced, however, on a sandy loam which contains a quantity of well rotted vegetable matter. A clover sod, vetches turned under in the fall, or land which was heavily manured for a previous crop supply ideal conditions. In Preparing, the seed the eyes should be cut so that the largest part of the surrounding flesh is situated toward the stem end, ecause the eyes of a potato always have a root system running toward that end and for that reason the sprouts cannot draw moisture from the opposite direction. If the ground you intend to use has produced a scabby crop previously or the seed shows any trace of disease, the pieces should be disinfected as a preventative. For a very early crop, run off furrows about three feet apart and about four inches deep. Drop the pieces about 15 inches apart in the furrows and cover to a depth of about 1% inches, gradually filling in the furrows to level as the vines grow larger. For main crop it is just as well to cover the eyes with four inches of soil at once. If fertilizer is used, apply it either in the row or broadcast before planting and be sure that it is thoroughly mixed with the soil so that the seed is not burned. Fresh , stable manure will cause the potatoes to become scabby. Just before the sprouts have appeared above the ground run a light harrow over them to kill the weeds and break up the crust. Continue weeding and harrowing until there is danger of breaking off too many sprouts. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently, being careful not to cut any of the roots, continuing until the vines have attained full growth and begin to spread. Spraying for insects and blight is very necessary. Red River Potato Mix will give very satisfactory results in controlling insects and diseases. The size and quality of the crop and the ability to resist disease is directly depen- dent upon the seed planted and no amount of cultivation or attention will offset the uncontrollable results of poor seed.

All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 8 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants.

Superior Seeds ——— RUTABAGAS OR SWEDES Rutabagas require about four weeks longer to mature than ordinary varieties of turnips, but are more solid, of firmer flesh and therefore keep later into the spring. They are for this reason more desirable for storage, while turnips are better adapted for the early market. Sow during July either in drills or broadcast. ° Grown for a number of years in the New Canadian North and held very closely by pri- vate individuals, the seed of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure in a true and reliable type.

The Clover Seed of Commerce, and the most important and valu- able of the Clover family for agricultural purposes. Sow 15 pounds per acre. (Bushell 60 pounds.) ALSIKE OR HYBRID. (Swedish.) (Trifolium hybridum.) Hardiest of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields large quantities of hay or pasturage, as it forms a thick bottom; has fibrous roots like White Clover. Esteemed highly by bee keepers. MAMMOTH CLOVER. (Trifolium pratense perenne.) Valu- able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with Timothy. Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plow- ing under as a fertilizer. WHITE DUTCH. (Trifolium repens.) Grows naturally in pastures in a great variety of soils and situations; indis- pensable in parks and lawns. CRIMSON CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum.) Being an an- nual, it must be sown in July, August and September of each year, and, the spring following, can be cut for soiling by April 20th; for ensilage, May 1st to 15th; for seed, about first week of June. Can be grown in corn, or any cultivated crop. Ten to fifteen pounds necessary to seed an acre. Cover with a light harrow. (Bushel 60 pounds.) ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa.) Prefers sand or gravel soil. Wet sub-soil being fatal to the plant. Roots 3 to 4 feet deep, and when well established lasts for years. 2 to 3 crops a year can be cut. Not recommended for pasture. BOKHARA OR WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. (Melilotus alba.) This slightly resembles Alfalfa in growth, but is much taller, with leafier and stiffer stems. It fre- quently grows 5 to 6 feet in height and branches freely, with slender spikes of small, fragrant, white flowers, which afford an excellent food for bees. (Bushel 60 pounds.) LESPEDEZA SERICEA. Long lived perennial, deep rooted variety suitable for pasture on lands not adaptable to Alfalfa, Sweet or Red Clovers. It is highly resistant to drought; penetrates tight subsoil and does not need fertilizer or lime. Growth the first year is extremely slow and a real pasture or hay crop can- not be expected until the second year. For this reason it is advisable to sow a mixture of Korean and Sericea. Sericea survives subzero temperatures but is sometimes damaged by late freezing after growth of the new buds has started. As a precaution the second growth is allowed to go to seed thereby replacing any plants which are lost. Sow with wheat or barley in late spring at rate of 25 lbs. per acre, on firm solid soil. KOREAN. Annual Lespedeza. Superior to Sericea in quality and quantity produced even on poor soil. A good soil builder, can be pastured until August and then allowed to reseed itself for the next year. SEED CHART DWARF ESSEX RAPE This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. SORGHUM OR CANE EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber. SUDAN GRASS Sudan, the greatest forage crop, should be grown on every farm, where either hay or pasture is desired. It is highly resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be fed in unlimited quantities. COW PEAS There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that the land is enriched and its condition improved. WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety. A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth. SOY OR SOJA BEANS A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop, Producing Immense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Besides Being an Excellent Soil Improver. The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soil enricher, as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the green and dry state. To plow under in the green state it is certainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. BUCKWHEAT SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded. OATS WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been recleaned by us.

Even in perennial borders, beds and rock gardens, annuals are very essential to bridge the span between periods of bloom of the perennials and to give desired color effects which are possible only with annuals. Many varieties can be started indoors early and transplanted giving continuous bloom from early summer until frost. Some sorts are very easily grown in late summer to produce plants for the sun- parlor or conservatory where they will blossom during the winter. Annuals bloom more profusely than biennials or peren- nials because it is not necessary for them to store up food or build root systems for succeeding years; their business being to produce flowers and seeds abundantly the first POTTED PLANTS 50c to $1.00 per doz. according to variety and size.

THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved and frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandiflora sorts. CULTURE.—Grow named varieties of the colors you like best; know them by name in your garden and you will derive much more pleasure from them.. Early in the spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. When the plants are about five inches high they should be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop flower- ing. The following have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those of the highest quality in their respective classes. SPENCER VARIETIES AMBITION. Rosy lavender. CAPTAIN BLOOD.

Superior Seeds Perennials are used extensively in old fash- ioned gardens, hardy borders and rock gardens. They are easily grown and when once estab- lished become increasingly beautiful year after year. Care should be taken in selecting varieties according to their color, height and season of bloom. The seeds may be sown indoors or in hot beds early in the spring and transplanted to their permanent locations when three or four inches tall. Very satisfactory results can also be ob- tained by sowing the seeds early in August and shading from excessive heat by using lath or burlap screens.

MANNS & CO., Baltimore, Md. 59 DAHLIAS Exhibition, Garden and Cut Flower Varieties Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a hori- zontal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each way, in deeply spaded soil. Mulch with peat moss and allow only one shoot to stand. A good plant food ap- plied just as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored away in peat moss in a cool, dry, dark place, where frost will not reach them.

P yrox kills bags —prevents blights Ace you have to do to keep your farm crops free from leaf-chew- ing insects and fungus diseases is this: Mix Pyrox with water and spray. No need to waste time and effort mixing Bordeaux and arsenicals. We recommend Pyrox because it will not clog the smallest nozzle. It comes out a fine mist and covers the foliage completely, sticking to the leaves even through the hardest rains. Insects die. Blight is prevented. Your farm has 2 chance to show what it really can do for you! There is a size of Pyrox to suit every need! Nicotine Pyrox Tf you have a garden patch, you will want a jar of the new Nicotine Pyrox— Standard Pyrox treated with Nicotine. It not only kills leaf-chewing insects, prevents blight and other diseases, as Standard Pyrox does, but it also kills sucking insects, such as aphis, thrips and leaf-hoppers. Standard Pyrox, of course, is designed for most commercial crops, but in the garden, where sucking insects do so much damage, you will want Nicotine Pyrox. Just mix yYrox with water—and spray, Without With Nicotine Nicotine 1 el eS Se eee Ree $ .49 Ge beste Sees er a 1.75 1 |S Re ee ee $5.00 5.65 BO BID er sfc 7.25 9.25 LOO eos Fhe ee 12.50 17.50 SOQ De. cere. c tiers cs 30.00 42.50 J.
