Spring Spraying 



The first spray in the spring is the most important one, 

 and the results obtained from the use of Gillett's Lye have 

 demonstrated that there is nothing to equal it, especially 

 when used properly before the buds begin to swell. 



One can of Gillett's Lye dissolved in five gallons of water makes a 

 proper solution for full grown trees, but a weaker solution, say, about one 

 can of Gillett's Lye to about 10 gallons of water, is suitable for young 

 trees and vines. 



A strong solution used on trunks and limbs of the older trees will 

 cleanse the bark of all moss and fungus growth and kill all insects. The 

 earth should be well scraped back from the foot of the trees, and the trunk and limbs should be well sprayed, 

 and in three or four days the bark will be perfectly clean and look bright. The earth around the trees should be 

 well saturated, thus acting as a preventive and fertilizer as well. In a short time the tree will be vigorous and 

 healthy . 



If you have not received a copy of our spraying pa mphlet, send name and address on postal card, and this 

 valuable little book will be mailed you free of charge.
