HARDY PLANT & PANSY FARM 

 BARABOO, WIS. 



ment of Af>rieiilturo j)ublished a state- 

 ment whicli contained the assertion, 

 "For five years the copper compounds 

 have been used by hundreds and thou- 

 sands of growers in every part of the 

 United States, yet in all that time not a 

 single authenticated case of poisoning, 

 so far as we are aware, lias been 

 brought to light." 



There have been many experiments 

 conducted in wine producing countries, 

 the results of which showed that one 

 who drank wine from grapes sprayed 

 with lead arsenate would not be in dan- 

 ger of poisoning. 



There seems, however, greater possi- 

 bility of danger if spraying is late or 

 overdone, since in such cases compara- 

 tively large quantities of residues of 

 arsenic, lead or copper were found. 

 Such spray residues were found to be 

 materially reduced by washing and 

 wiping the fruit and vegetables, in the 

 Department of Agriculture's experi- 

 ments. It Avas found that when 

 peeled, sprayed fruits and vegetables 

 contained essentially the same amount 

 of arsenic, lead and copper as the un- 

 sprayed products, iiidiciting that prac- 

 tically all of the s])raycd residues can 

 ))e removed by peeling. 



Conclusion of the government 's ex- 

 perimenters was that if fruits and vege- 

 tables are sprayed in accordance with 

 tlie schedule recommended by the 

 bureaus of entomology and j)lant indus- 

 try — in otliei- words, if spr;iying is not 

 overdone or too late — little of the ma- 

 terial tised remains on the fruit or 

 veget.aliles .'it harvest time.

 customer, face to face, the printer ac- 

 customed to turning out seed or nurs- 

 ery catalogue work can whip the ama- 

 teur copy into presentable shape. We 

 stress this especially because it is of 

 ]irime importance. IBe yourself, instead 

 of trying to be somebody else, and 

 other things being right, success will 

 come. 



Location is important. This will de- 

 pend upon the territory sought to be 

 served. This territory once chosen, the 

 location should be fairly central, in 

 some town or city having the best of 

 transportation facilities. Quick service 

 pleases the customer and without cen- 

 tral location this is almost impossible. 

 Vurther, the l;trger towns or cities 

 usually afford tlie extra labor necessary 

 during the rush jieriods of the year. 



We speak fremi experience on this 

 matter of location. Our first ten years 

 were spent in a small town in Florida 

 with relatively poor transportation fa- 

 cilities. We made little headwav until,
