First among products of their 

 kind — first in quality, first in 

 efficiency. Zerolene and Red 

 Crown have been awarded the 



GOLD MEDAL 



— the highest honor the Expo- 

 sition can bestow — the acknowl- 

 edgment that the "best oil and 

 gas the Standard Oil Company 

 can make" are the best that 

 human skill and experience can 

 produce.

package, prevents pilfering, and insures 

 tlie arrival at destination in good con- 

 dition. The expense of using this 

 Duplex strapping is so small that it is 

 hoped that by calling it to the attention 

 of the apple packers and shippers its 

 use may become general in apple pack- 

 ing houses, as it has in the orange and 

 lemon shipping districts of California 

 and Florida. Mr. A. C. Rulofson — so 

 long identified with the cement-coated 

 nail industry and one of the best known 

 men among the fruit packers — is the 

 Pacific Coast agent for this specialty, 

 and he will gladly furnish samples and 

 information to all interested. — Adv. 



cost anywhere from •'?1,000 to $5,000; 

 the size of his crop will not justify such 

 an expense. The editor has given this 

 matter considerable attention and last 

 year found a grower who had solved 

 the problem of furnishing additional 

 room at a very small cost by having a 

 large tent made. The editor called on 

 the manager of the Portland Tent and 

 Awning Company, Portland, Oregon, 

 and ascertained that a grower can get a 

 tent 30 feet by 40 feet, with walls about 

 7 feet high, which will furnish a splen- 

 did quantify of room, at a price some- 

 where between $60 and $80, according 

 to the thickness of the canvas. The tent 

 manufacturer will make a tent to order 

 in any size desired and from any ply 

 canvas. — Adv. 



Palace Hotel, San Francisco, California 

 Since the Palace Hotel, San Francis- 

 co's historic hostelry, inaugurated its 

 sweeping advertising and publicity 

 campaign to acquaint the public with 

 its reduced rates and at the same time 

 to correct unjust and misleading state- 

 ments regarding the hotel rates of this 

 city during the Exposition year, ranch- 

 ers, vineyardists, orchardists and dairy- 

 men are finding the Palace a popular 

 and convenient gathering place. The 



reason for this is that when the Palace 

 established its new rates and installed 

 new features in connection with its 

 service, the management had in mind 

 meeting the particular needs of this 

 class of patronage. In making its re- 

 duction in rates the Palace Hotel has 

 won the endorsement and praise of the 

 board of directors of the Panama- 

 Pacific International Exposition, the 

 leading hotels of the country, and also 

 favorable editorial comment from many 

 of the leading newspapers of the coun- 

 try. As a result of this generally favor- 

 able attitude and the fact that San Fran- 

 cisco is the scene of the great World's 

 Fair, it is the consensus of opinion that, 

 despite many unfortunate conditions 

 this year, the attendance at the Exposi- 

 tion will be considerably increased and 

 that the Palace will be generously pat- 

 ronized bv all classes. — Adv. 



Duplex Box Strapping 

 We would refer our readers to page 

 22, where they will see illustrations and 

 interesting matter regarding a box 

 strapping that is being introduced for 

 use on apple boxes. This is the kind of 

 strapping which is being used exclu- 

 sively by the citrus fruit packers of 

 California. Its use strengthens the 



BORDEAUX MIXTURE 



FOR THE CONTROL OF SCAB AND 



ANTHRACNOSE ON APPLE 



TREES. 



To those fruit growers who intend 

 using bordeaux mixture this summer 

 and fall we wish to call attention to the 

 following: 



In the use of bordeaux mixture dur- 

 ing the growing period it is important 

 to use the best, properly balanced prep- 

 aration obtainable. "Orchard Brand" 

 bordeaux mixture paste is so prepared 

 (the result of careful chemical analysis, 

 special knowledge and the right equip- 

 ment) as to give the greatest possible 

 efficiency. There is no waste of mate- 

 rial, no clogging of nozzles and no loss 

 of time in dissolving bluestone and 

 slacking lime. No cumbersome mixing 

 tanks are necessary; simply stir the 

 paste to a uniform consistency in the 

 original container, weigh out amount 

 needed and dilute in proper amount of 

 water. 



"Orchard Brand" bordeaux paste is a 

 time saver, is economical and is effec- 

 tive because it is properly made. It has 

 as great advantage over the home-made 

 bordeaux mixture as the commercial 

 lime-sulphur solution has over the old 

 home-made product. S. W. Foster, en-
