There's 



a great difference m 



spray adhesiveness 



Arsenates of Lead, which are coarse in 



construction and contain more arsenic oxide 



than will remain permanently combined with 



the lead, cannot be adhesive. To obtain maximum 



adhesiveness together with effectiveness and safety, use 



THE CANADA PAINT CO. 



LIMITED 



Neutral Arsenate of Lead 



(Paste) 



This arsenate is neutral in character and so cannot russet the fruit or 

 burn the foliage. This means unblemished fruit and more of it. This 

 arsenate is sufficiently strong in poisoning power to destroy all leaf- 

 eating insect {jests. 



It has a peculiar adhesiveness that enables it to remain on the foliage 

 in spite of ordinary rain. It is very fine in texture and is light in 

 gravity, so stays well in suspension. It mixes readily with Bordeaux 

 Mixture or Lime Sulphur without danger of injuring the foliage or 

 the fruit. 



As manufacturers of insecticides we have been 

 able to obtain a new formula for the manufacture 

 of dry Arsenate of Lead. 



CP. LIGHT GRAVITY 



Dry Arsenate of Lead 



All the good qualities of our paste lead are embodied in this product, 

 and it has the advantage of being proof against deterioration, and so 

 can be kept over from one season to another. Half a pwund of the 

 Light Gravity Dry Arsenate goes as far as a pound of paste lead. To 

 many orchardisls and gardeners considerable saving in freight may 

 be effected by using this material. It mixes readily with water or 

 other spraying mixtures, and can be dusted on such plants as potatoes 

 if desired. Descriptive folders and prices sent on request.

The advisability of heating orchards dur- 

 ing a frost such as occurred last May was 

 also discussed. Although such a killing 

 frost might occur only once in ten years 

 the expense of providing burners or smudge 

 materials might be more than made up by 

 the saving of a single crop. Growers in 

 Colorado have adopted heating outfits in 

 many cases and have found that they can 

 offset the effects of ten or twelve degrees 

 of frost.
