Orenco Prune Trees 



Cheap 



Myrtle Creek. Oregon. November 26. 1914. 



I feel like sayine a few words to you on pa^er In 

 regard to my Italian Prune trees. 1 am more than 

 pleased with them. Really they are better than I 

 expected. 1 cannot speak too much in praise of 

 your company for such good trees. They are of good 

 size, good height and good roots. Everyone that I 

 talked with that ordered from you Is well pleased.

"ORENCO TREES'* are universally

 where they can depend upon quality, 

 reliability and satisfaction. When you 

 want really good trees at right prices,

deaux mixture (6-6-50) is the best spray 

 to use, but if scale or peach twig miner 

 are present, commercial lime-sulpliur 

 (1-12) is recommended. The right time 

 of year for application is while the 

 buds are swelling, but before any of the 

 tender green leaf tips begin to emerge. 

 It is better to spray early than even a 

 few days late. About the last of Feb- 

 ruary or the first of March will be 

 about right in the Willamette Valley. 

 The spray must be applied so as to 

 cover all the buds thoroughly. This 

 will require an outfit giving good pres- 

 sure. A good nozzle is necessary and a 

 great deal of care must be observed, 

 rf the job is well done, however, and at 

 the right time, the leaf curl will be 

 eradicated. Failure will probably come 

 if the reconunendations regarding time 

 and method of application given above 

 are not rigidly adhered to. 



It is also stated that it is the intention 

 of the company to operate an evapor- 

 ator for the purpose of evaporating 



apples.

 Peach leaf curl may be controlled by 

 spraying at the right time of year. Bor-
