 Dear Sir: 



In compliance with your request of July 16th 

 I take pleasure in handing you the following 

 statement with reference to the behavior of 

 your Dry Lime-Sulfur under three seasons' 

 work at the University esperimeutal orchards, 

 iocated for the most part in southern and cen- 

 tral Illinois. 



Dry Lime-Sulfur in three seasons lias re- 

 sulted iu no fruit or foliage injur>' when com- 

 bined with standard arsenates of lead as a 

 summer spray for apples. In all of our exper- 

 imental work, the Dry Lime-Sulfur was used 

 at the rate of three pounds In fifty gallons of 

 water. As a fungicide. It has provid equally 

 as etTective as the lime-sulfur solution, both 

 in the control of apple scab and of the com- 

 mon diseases found on orchard fruits. It is 

 also worthy of mention that the finish of the 

 fruit in all cases has been very fine and In 

 most cases has been superior to tliat secured 

 \rith lime-sulfur or bordeaux mixture, or. In 

 fact, any other fungicide which we have used. 



I hope this answers your letter satisfactorily, 

 and while there are a great many other things 

 that might be said. I think this covers the 

 ground pretty well as far as my experience has 

 gone. Tours very truly.

 Gentlemen : 



In my dormant spray, in the spring of 1918. 

 on your recommendation I tried out two 100-lb. 

 packages of Shenrin-Williams Dry Lime-Sul- 

 fur. In using this material I picked the 

 dirtiest, worst infested part of the orchard to 

 give it a thorough test and was more than 

 pleased with the results obtained, as compared 

 with the other brand of spray which I used. 

 The comparative first cost of the spray was 

 about the same, with the cheaper handling 

 charge in favor of the Dry Lime-Sulfur. I 

 found it worked readiUv into solution and had 

 no trouble whatever of sediment In the spray 

 tank and pumps. The results obtained were 

 reaUy a surprise to myself when compared with 

 the trees adjoining that were sprayed u-ith the 

 liquid whicJi I used, and I have no hesitancy 

 in recommending the Dry Lime-Sulfur to 

 anybody who has either a clean or badly In- 

 fested orchard, as I think, with proper appli- 

 cation, the Dry Lime-Sulfur will absolutely 

 clean up their orchard. Yours very truly.

 Gentlemen: 



According to promise to your Mr. H. P. 

 Reeds. 1 will tell vou of my experience with 

 your Dry Llnie-Sulfur. 



Early in the .'Spring I ordered twn barrels of 

 this material to try It out. I wanted to give it 

 a real test, so I applied it on a peach orchard 

 that was absolutely vile with scale, I cave this 

 orchard an application of S-W Dry Lime-Sul- 

 fur at rate of 10 i>ounda to 5'l gallons of 

 water, and f-aii truthfully sny that these trees 

 are positively clear, free from scale and seeni- 

 inply clear of any disease whatever. 



The material goes into solution perfectb' and 

 dqes not clog the sprny nozzle. 

 1 shall use It excluRlvely next season. 

 Yours verv tnily.

S-W Diy Lime Sulfur 

 For Your Orchard 



No development in Insecticide manufacture has commanded 

 such attention as Sherwin-Williams Dry Lime Sulfur since 

 Arsenate of Lead was first marketed in dry form. 



The chemists of The Sherwin-Williams Company worked many years to per- 

 fect this material. Five years ago it was accomplished, then followed two years of 

 tests in orchards throughout the country— our process was patented, and three 

 years ago the one and only actual Dry Lime Sulfur was placed on the market under 

 the Sherwin-Williams label. 



Dry Lime Sulfur can be used for any purpose in the orchard for which Lime 

 Sulfur Solution is now employed — as a dormant spray against scale insects and as 

 a summer application in combination with Arsenate of Lead. The letters repro- 

 duced tell still another story of satisfied users. Read carefully the letters from State 

 Experiment Stations at the left side of this page. 



The Sherwin-Williams Company are the largest Insecticide makers in the 

 world. They are also the largest Paint, Varnish and Color makers. The "Cover 

 the Earth" trademark stands for quality the world over. As a user of Insecticides 

 and Fungicides you can accept their guarantee as your assurance that Dry Lime 

 Sulfur will satisfy your most exacting requirements.
