MATERIALS 



ORCHARD BRAND 



ARSENATE OF LEAD 



IS USED FOR KILLING 



CODLING MOTH AND 



CHEWING INSECTS. 



This is one of the important 

 materials used in spraying trees. 



The Mechanical or Physical 

 condition of Arsenate of Lead is 

 of more importance than usually 

 realized. Coarse, gummy mater- 

 ials cannot be easily mixed or 

 kept in good suspension in the 

 spray tank. A fine Mechanical or 

 Physical condition is one of the 

 great merits of our Arsenate of 

 Lead. As now manufactured, it 

 can be readily stirred in the orig- 

 inal container into a creamy con- 

 sistency and put directly into i he 

 spray tank, without the trouble 

 of rubbing to a thin paste, as is 

 necessary with other makes. This 

 saves TIME in preparing, insures 

 good suspension in the spray tank, 

 which means an even distribution 

 of a thin film of poison over the 

 surface of the sprayed area and 

 obtaining satisfactory results. 



Orchard Brand Powdered Ar- 

 senate of Lead is double the 

 strength of the Paste, and when 

 used in water only one-half the 

 quantity of the preparation is re- 

 quired. It is finely divided, fluffy, 

 white powder that mixes readily 

 with water and remains in good 

 suspension when diluted in spray 

 tank. To control Codling Moth 

 and similar insects, use 2 pounds 

 to 100 gallons of water. 



It may be used for dusting 

 truck crops and other plants by 

 combining it with Land Plaster, 

 air-soaked lime or flour. 



When combined with these.care 

 should be exercised to thoroughly 

 mix the materials in order to get 

 a uniform coating of poison.
