WHAT IS IT ? gLUG SHOT is an impalpable powder, a combination of insecticides, poisonous to insects preying upon vegetation, and withal an excel- lent fertilizer, affecting nearly all classes of insect life, so that they either die, or leave for parts unknown. USED SEVEN FULL YEARS. gLUG SHOT has been used since 1880, in thousands of gardens and upon acres of field crops with conceded effectiveness upon Slugs, Worms, Caterpillars, Aphides, &c. It is in use in greater or less degree in every State in the Union and each Canadian Province, Egypt and New Zealand. IS SLUG SHOT SAFE TO USE? The best and completest answer possible to make is its record. Two and a half million pounds (2,500,000) have been made up, and within a small fraction used as above stated ; and so far as known without any ill effect to man, beast or fowl; whether by handling, inhaling its dust, or partaking of fruits or vegetables upon which it had been used. Its odor and color prevent its being taken for any wrong purpose, and enough can- not be eaten unless done deliberately and forcibly to cause harm, and it has not transpired that this is feasible. Slug Shot is put up in tin canisters also in 5 and 10 lb. bags, and in flour barrels, loose, that contains 235 lbs. each. It is applied by duster or bellows Slug Shot is sold by the Seedsmen of America and Dealers generally, in any quantity desired. The price is for a five-pound package, 30 cts., by the barrel in bulk. 4 cts. per lb. When you buy seeds, if you have never tried -'Hammond's Slug Shot," order a 5 or 10 lb. package. It is cheap, and no package leaves our works but that is guaranteed to the buyer to do just what we say it will do; but it is not viagic to charm away vermin.
