AN EFFICIENT DORMANT SPRAY. 



The San Jose Srali' is no longer 

 dreaded by those who do careful 

 sprayinp with any of the several 

 standard spray mixtures, althoush 

 some give better results than others 

 with a niininiuni of labor, and labor is 

 the greatest expense in the spraying 

 game. For this reason, the most de- 

 sirable spray is the one that will ac- 

 complish the most in one operation. 



You spray with— say Lime-Sulfur. 

 If the work is thoroughly done and 

 no shirking by the men, you can hold 

 the San .lose Scale and Oyster Shell 

 Scale in check. But there are other 

 troubles equally serious that are not 

 controlled by Lime-Sulfur or any com- 

 bination of Lime-Sulfur, such as Aphis, 

 Bud Moth, Fruit Tree Leaf Roller, 

 etc.. and even the most thorough sum- 

 mer spraying with combinations of 

 Arsenate of Lead and Nicotine will 

 not save the fruit from injury. 



There are a number of very serious 

 fungous troubles that are found on the 

 trees in their dormant state that Lime- 

 Sulfur might control if it had the 

 proper powers of penetration, but un- 

 fortunately it cannot penetrate into 

 the diseased tissues of such troubles 

 as collar rot on apple trees, apple 

 canker fSphaeropsis Malorum), and 

 the brown rot spores on peach trees. 

 It has been demonstrated that all of 

 these other insects and diseases may 

 be controlled by one dormant spray; 

 with a miscible oil known as "Scale- 

 cide." And the manufacturers claim 

 that there are indications of a still 

 wider range of usefulness for this 

 spray, for in many orchards where a 

 thorough spraying has been done for 

 years with "Scalecide," other forms of 

 canker and blight have almost entire- 

 ly disappeared, but conclusive data 

 has not yet been obtained; but proven 

 fields of its activity together with the 

 apparent stimulating effect on tree 

 growth, go far beyond anything that 

 ■was ever promised or expected of it.
