Many experiments have been made 

 with copper sulphate and lime, com- 

 monly known as Bordeaux Mixture, 

 and in some instances have been more 

 or less successful. However, the com- 

 mercial grower prefers sulphur mix- 

 tures, because of much less danger of 

 injury to foliage, flowers and fruit. 



It may surprise the average grower 

 to know that plant life in general de- 

 mands a certain amount of sulphur in- 

 ternally in order to enjoy vigorous 

 health. Take the onion, for instance 

 This particular bulbous plant absorbs 

 so much sulphur that it is very notice- 

 able in the strong odor thrown off. 



When sulphur is properly applied it 

 is easily absorbed into the plant sys- 

 tem through the pores of the foliage 

 and cleanses and purifies the life blool 

 or sap of the plants; therefore, the 

 more finely divided the particles of 

 sulphur are the more readily they are 

 absorbed. So we have come down 

 through the ages to the most modern 

 way of applying sulphur by heating it 

 to a molten mass, and by the addition 

 of a certain chemical (to hold it in 

 fluid form), plus the addition of a good 

 grade of fish oil and a little carbolic 

 acid. Now the grower of trees and 

 plants has at his disposal a combined 

 contact insecticide and fungicide that 

 is at once simple, sure and safe and 

 is easily assimilated through the pores 

 of the foliage Into the plant system 

 with beneficial results.

DAHLIA NAMED FOR A HERO. 



Norwich, Conn. — After experiment- 

 ing three years, Waterman P. Brown 

 of Palmer street has succeeded in 

 bringing to perfection a seedling 

 dahlia which is attracting the atten- 

 tion of growers throughout the state 

 It is a decorative bloom of canary tint 

 shot with rich crimson, very large and 

 full petalled. Mr. Brown has named it 

 "The Robert Ogden Fletcher," in mem- 

 ory of Sergt. Major R. O. Fletcher, son 

 of Mr. and Mrs. William L. Fletcher, 

 who was killed Aug. 15. 1918. while 

 with his regiment, the 56th Artillery, 

 at chartreuse, France.
