applied to the trees before the coining of 

 the fall rainy period. The best time for 

 this would be with one of the summer 

 codling moth sprays. 



Spray Program For Cherries — An 

 elaborate spray program for cherries is 

 usually unnecessary. Of the insect pests for 

 which sprays are generally applied we have 

 the San Jose scale and aphids. For the 

 control of these a combination spray of 

 lime-sulfur 12-100, plus Black Leaf 40, 

 1 pound to 100 gallons, should be applied 

 just as the buds are swelling and before 

 they open. 



Because ants carry aphids up the trunks 

 to reinfest the trees, it is advisable after 

 spraying to b.-ind the trunks of the cherry 

 trees with a strip of tree tanglefoot, two 

 and a half inches wide. 



Where blossom blight caused by the 

 brown rot fungus is troublesome a spray of 

 Bordeaux 4-4-50 should be thoroughly ap- 

 plied just as the first blossoms are starting 

 to open, but in many orchards this trouble 



is not serious enough to require attention. 



Where cherry leaf spot is bad several 

 spr.iyings with Bordeaux 4-4-50 will ef-

Auctioning Fruit for 26 Years 



Over 26 years ago ive began to sell fruit at auction to a handful 

 of buyers in a little room. While our start was small, our ideas 

 and our ideals were big. 



In the early days our slogan was — "Work for the seller as hard 

 and as conscientiously as we ourselves would like to be worked 

 for .nnd always give him a square deal." 



Tiiroughoutalllheseyears there has been no change in our ideals. 



As a result, we were compelled to build our own building with 

 three large auction rooms especially adapted for auction sales. 

 Our building is the largest and most up-to-date building in the 

 United States devoted to the fruit auction industry. It is located 

 in the very heart of the fruit and vegetable district, which is the 

 geographical center of the great metropolitan district, comprising 

 a popijation of 8,000,000 inhabitants. 



The United Fruit Company, Florida Citrus Exchange, Porto 

 Rico Fruit Exchange, Stewart Fruit Company, Frank II. Buck 

 Clompany, Thurston Fruit Company, among the country's largest 

 fruit interests, are some of those who sell through our auction. 



If you are not satisfied with the prices you are receiving or with 

 the service you get, you may learn something of interest if you 

 will write us for full particulars about selling at auction.
