HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2 



Hammond's Paint & Slag Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y. 



Dear Sirs: After trying Thrlp Juice No. 2 for two seasons, I can say It is the best 

 article I ever used for thrip on roses or carnations, also for white fly. The latter was 

 the worst pest we bad to contend with, but after three applications, about four (4) days 

 apart, we were practically free from It. I find it is advisable to apply in the evening, and 

 \rtth a good, strong force pump, proportion one to forty.

 of the tree, is very unsightly and has 

 no beneficial qualities that I know of. 

 It is a violation of the tree ordinance."

 very wide distribution in Europe.
