Hammond's Crape Dust 



For Mildew on Roses, Carnations, Etc., in use since 1884 



The Pulverized Manure Co., Chicago, 

 find the demand for their cattle manure 

 products by the florist and landscape 

 gardener far beyond their expecta- 

 tions, and what they considered would 

 be a heavy stock for the spring trade 

 was depleted materially by the end of 

 ■January. This being their first year in 

 this line preparations were not made 

 to meet such an influx of trade, but 

 the coming summer they will take the 

 precaution to run their plant night 

 and day and be in readiness for a large 

 winter business. 



Clifton, N. J., Oct. II, 1907. 

 Dear Mr. Hammoml : 



In reply to your inquiry regarding my e.\perience with Grape Dust, 

 would say that I am glad to be able to say a good word for the article 

 in question, because I have found it so generally satisfactory when 

 used for mildew on roses. 



I do not know anything about its constituents, nor do I care so long as 

 it does the work, and is as economical as anything else on the market. 



During the summer when the steam pipes cannot be brought into use to 

 check mildew, and dusting over the foliage has to be resorted to, we pre- 

 fer to use Grape Dust rather than sulphur, because it is so much lighter 

 and finer in texture; a given number of pounds will cover more than twice 

 the number of plants, will cover them more thoroughly, and Grape Dust 

 can be put on with a bellows in about one-fourth the time that would be 

 required for sulphur. 



The fact that I have used it continuously for ten or twelve years should 

 prove to you that I consider it the best article on the market for the pur- 

 pose for which it is used. 



With best wishes I am, Yours very truly, Robert Simpson. 



Put I'p In 5 and 10 lb. packages at 7 cents per lb.; also In 25 lb. bags, 100 lb. kegs and 



In barrels of 200 lbs., net. Kept In stock and sold by the
