Hammond's Crape Dust 



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



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

 Dfiir Mr. IlamnionJ : 



In reply to your inquiry regarding my experience with Grrpe 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 enylhirg 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 duftirg over the fi liage 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.
