Lime-Sulphur and Flour Paste. 



For spraying trees in foliage and tender plants a lime-sulphur flour 

 paste spray has given remarkably good results. The following formulae are 

 recommended : 

 No. 1. 



Water 200 gallons 



Flour paste, 8 pounds flour in 8 gallons water 



Sublimed sulphur 10 pounds 



Lime-sulphur solution 2 l / 2 gallons 



The flour is first made into a thin paste by adding one pound to each 

 gallon of water, according to the above formula. The sulphur is made 

 into a paste also and added with the flour paste and lime-sulphur solution 

 to the two hundred gallons of water in the spray tank. This spray is 

 excellent for the red spiders on almond and citrus trees. Minus the lime- 

 sulphur solution it is a very effective spray for the two-spotted mite 

 on hops. 



No. 2. (Iron Sulphide.) 



Water 200 gallons 



Flour paste, 8 pounds flour in 8 gallons water 



Lime-sulphur solution 254 gallons 



Iron sulphate 4 pounds
