Found old catalog in my wall

Moved my kitchen cabinets and found this catalog shoved between cabinets and the wall. Early 60s house, US, California

Why would you want to throw dust on your garden, let alone want it so badly that you need a dedicated machine to do it?
- Dispensing pesticide aka dusting. Like crop dusting
  
  Ah, I understand
  
  Seems like a great way to die horribly fifteen years later. Or if you hate your family maybe.
- To keep the midgets living there from getting eaten by insects or deer.

Please. They're called "little people garden dusters."

"Mildew King" sounds like a boss in Dark Souls / Elden Ring / etc.

This old idea of dumping horrible chemicals everywhere is why I can only grow food out of containers. See: https://youtu.be/Hll_BoVK03A

I redid a room recently, and found that this brick wall behind the wood was lined with nazi propaganda from ww2 as insulation. Yes, my house is much older than that.

Is it for small gardens though?

Is that a Jackson & Perkins catalog? Had a rose-crazy gardener of an aunt eons ago and she swore by them. Cool find!
- Yea it is
