Messrs. Hall and Uobinson, of Montreal, 

 state: "APHINE is superior and much 

 cheaper than any other insecticide we 

 have ever used." 



Messrs. P. McKenna and Sons, of Mon- 

 treal, say: "We use APHINE in preference 

 to any other insecticide. One advantage 

 being that it is free from the disagreeable 

 odors of tobacco products."

mesh. Then add sufficient water to make 

 fifty gallons and stir thoroughly, when 

 the mixture is ready to use. Tliis mixture 

 should be made fre>sh and any left over 

 for any time should be thrown out. Care 

 should be taken never to pour the stronf; 

 ■solutions together, but always dilute with 

 a quantity of water before mixing. 



This is the standard application fcr ap- 

 l)lo trees and for peach and such other 

 trees as have foliage injured by the regulai- 

 bordeaux. The above should be diluted 

 with an equal quantity of water. 



" STOCK SOLUTION 



A solution of copper sulphate contain- 

 ing one pound of sulphate to a gallon of 

 water may be made and if no lime is add- 

 ed allowed to stand indefinitely in a 

 covered vessel. From two to four gallons, 

 according to the strength desired, is taken 

 for each fifty gallons. 



SELF BOILED LIMK AND SULPHUR 



Stone lime ten pounds, sulphur ten 

 pounds, water fifty gallons. Put lime and 

 sulphur together in barrel or tub and add 

 enough water to slake the lime, stir thor- 

 oughly and add more water to prevent the 

 mixture becoming sticky. As soon as the 

 lime is well slaked dilute immediately with 

 ccld water, and strain through a twenty 

 m©sh sieve. 



LIMB SULPHUR 



Stone lime fifteen to twenty pounds, sul- 

 phur fifteen pounds, water fifty gallons. 

 Slake the lime in a small quantity of hot 

 water, gradually adding and thoroughly 

 stirring in the sulphur. Dilute mixture 

 with twelve gallons of water and boil in 

 an iron kettle or cook by steam in a cover- 

 ed tank or barrel for one hour. Fill the 

 vessel with water to the required fifty gal- 

 lons. Strain though a fine mesh strainer 

 and apply hot. 



KEROSENE EMULSION 



Laundry soap chipped half pound, kero- 

 sene (coal oil) two gallons, water one gallon. 

 Dissolve the soap in the full amount of 

 water by boiling. Remove from the fire, 

 and add the kerosene. Stir the mixture 

 violently by driving it through a force 

 pump back in to the vessel until it be- 

 comes a creamy mass that will not separ- 

 ate. For use dilute one part of the emul- 

 sion with ten of water. 



CONCENTRATED LIME SULPHUR 



In making fifty gallons take sixty 

 pounds stone lime, one hundred and 

 twenty-five pounds sulphur, fifty gallons of 

 total product at finish. Put ten gallons 

 of water in kettle and start the fire. After 

 the slaking is well started add the dry sul- 

 phur and mix thoroughly, adding enough 

 water to maintain a thin paste which re- 

 quires about five gallons. After slaking 

 and mixing bring to fifty gallons and boil, 

 adding water from time to time to keep 

 up the volume. The time of boiling should 

 be until the sulphur granules are thor- 

 oughly dissolved. In general a period of 

 forty to sixty minutes of actual boiling 

 should be sufficient to put the sulphur into 

 solution. 



The finished product may be immediate- 

 ly poured or strained into a barrel or set- 

 ting tank. The solution should be stored 

 in air-tight barrels or kept from the air by 

 means of a thin film of oil. This should 

 be diluted, one part of the concentrated 

 mixture to forty of water for summer 

 spraying, and one part to nine or ten for 

 spraying in the dormant stage. 



INSECTICIDES 



From two to three pounds of arsenate of 

 lead should be added to each fifty gallons 

 of lime-sulphur. AVhen Bordeaux Mixture 

 is used Paris Green should be added at the 

 rate of from a quarter to half a pound to 

 fifty gallons of the mixture.
