Sure Shot for Rose Slugs

Ingredients

• four gallons water
• one tablespoon paris green

Directions

1. Make a tea of tobacco stems and a soap-suds of whale oil or car- bolic soap, mix and apply to the bush with a sprinkler, turning the bush so as to wet the under as well as the upper part of the leaves ; apply before the sun is up three or four times.

2. About the first of June, small worms make their appearance on the rose bushes, and in a very few days eat every leaf on them ; to destroy these pests take four gallons water, add one tablespoon paris green, stir thoroughly and apply to the bushes wilh a garden syringe or watering pot, early in the morning ; keep the water well stirred or shaken while applying, or the last in the pot will be too strong and kill the leaves of the bushes. — Mr. C.
