Any of these recipes sound familiar? Sounds like some of my grandmother's recipes.

This is interesting. Does anyone still use tomato vines for dyeing?

The old vines contain splendid dye-stuffs, which could be utilized as a by-product for dying fabrics of various kinds.

Good stuff!
I found the insect control section interesting. What really caught me eye was the Arsenate of Lead. Essentially mixing arsenic and lead into a spray. I bet it was effective! And on more than just insects.....
