HOKTICULTURK 



February 19, 1910 



For San Jose Scale, and to Improve Health of Tree and Shrub. 



BOWKER'S 



Concentrated 



Lime-Sulphur 



Made in New England. FRESH from Factory to User. 



NOW IS THE TIME TO ORDER Lime-Sulphur, 

 which should be used while the trees are dormant. It 

 destroys San Jose and all other Scale Insects and fung- 

 ous spores wintering, on the bark. It improves the health of 

 the tree by destroying the mosses and lichens. As J. H. Hale 

 says: "It smoothes up the trees." 



All ready to use by adding cold water. No boiling, no special mixing 

 plant required; no guesswork as to formula. Just add cold water, and spray. 



Before spraying your orchard, post yourself about Bowker's sprays. — Write today for prices.
