run without the use of a good spray pump. Watch 

 for blight, insects and pests of all kinds and spray 

 all the vegetables that are subject to blight with 

 Bordeaux mixture twice during June. If the 

 weather is either very dry or excessively wet, spray 

 every week. Do not wait for the blight to show 

 itself, as in most cases it is then too late. For 

 eating insects of all kinds, poison must be used.

using this; do not spray it on well-advanced vege- 

 tables, such as cabbage which has headed. If 

 cabbage worms are troublesome after the heads

 tions as a spray; but above all, keep the Bordeaux 

 going, as it is the greatest of all garden savers.
