Orchard Brand Dry Powdered 

 Arsenate of Lead is the con- 

 centrated poison in easily 

 handled form. You use less 

 of it to poison the bugs, be- 

 cause it's double strength. It 

 is so finely powdered that it 

 quickly dissolves and remains 

 in suspension. 



Mechanically, Orchard Brand 

 Dry Powdered Arsenate of 

 Lead is perfect. It is the re- 

 sult of years of effort, exper- 

 iment and experience in 

 chemical laboratories, and in 

 the fruit orchards of America. 



Two pounds to 100 gallons of 

 water makes the spray to poi- 

 son—to do the work effec- 

 tively. 



Orchard Brand Standard Ar- 

 senate of Lead (paste) has 

 long been preferred by many 

 orchardists. By chemical 

 tests in the laboratory, and 

 by many years' tests in the 

 fruit orchards, this soft 

 creamy paste has won iis 

 way— by results. 



Under the brands. Orchard and 

 Universal, the tree sprays 

 known wherever fruit is 

 grown in America, are mak- 

 ing money for orchardists by 

 saving the crops for market. 



Your dealer has these two 

 brands— or knows where he 

 can get them. 



We shall be glad to send full 

 information concerning Uni- 

 versal and Orchard Brands 



—also directions how to use 

 all sprays.
