I found this great Reuter’s Seeds catalog, Spring 1954. It’s especially notable for offering “DEENATE” 75-W: a wettable powder containing 75% DDT. Or 50% DDT wettable, 2 pounds per 100 gallons water, a 50 lb. bag for $17.00. There’s also Dupont Garden Dust, 5% DDT, Rotenone, Zerlate, and Fermate. 1 lb. can for $1.25. And “All Insecticides can now be Mailed.” They provide a handy Parcel Post Rates chart.
I think it goes nicely next to my 1962 first edition copy of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.
“Thus the chemical war is never won, and all life is caught in its violent crossfire.” — R. Carson
