BORDEAUX MIXTURE 



This is the most common spray in use and 

 is the reason we give the recipe for making 

 it. It will kill the scale, mildew, worms and 

 diseases of plants and trees. 



Dissolve four pounds of sulphate of copper 

 in four or more gallons of water. Take four 

 pounds of unslacked lime and place in a tub 

 and add water until slacked. When the lime 

 has cooled, pour it into the copper solution. 

 Mix the fluid by constant stirring. Add water 

 to make 40 gallons. Strain through a cloth or 

 burlap before using, so as not to clog up the 

 fine mesh of the spraying machine.
