UP-TO-DATE GROWERS USE 



TOBAK INE Liquid 



Mu. A. F. J. Bai'K, the well-linown Carnation expert, writes: " If I had a carnation house ever 

 80 badly Infested by Gi-eenfly or Thrlps, I would spray with To-Bak-Ine LiQuid not stronger than 

 three teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, and six gallons of this solution would spray a house 25x101) 

 feet, thoroughly. I would rather spray with this strength every day for a few days than to make It 

 stronger. Ordinarily one spraying In two days Is enough for the first week, and thereafter, once or 

 possibly twice each week will be sufficient. I am satisfied that spraying is most effective In destroy- 

 ing these pests, as well as the least harmful to the plants or blooms. In order to derive the most 

 benefit from the use of To>Bak-Ine, it should be used regularly throughout the season, as a 

 preventive. We begin to spray our carnations with it regularly- once each week as soon as they are 

 well-established on the beds in the nouses, about September 1, (or sooner if any insects show them- 

 selves), and we find that this will keep away Aphis, Thrips. and In addition to intelligent syringing 

 It will keep down Red Spider. The number of blooms usually lost through the ravages of these pests 

 can b3 reduced to a minimum by the use of To-Bak-Ine. These blooms will easily pay for the cost 

 of spraying and have a good balance over. It is surprising how many blooms are uiscarded by 

 growers, which could have been saved by the use of this preparation; when you figure them at 3o to 

 5c each during midwinter it runs up into money quickly. No grower can afford to be without this 

 preparation and it will take merely a fair trial to convince anyone of lis value. When I begin on 

 To-Bak-Ine I find it hard to Stop. I feel that I could not possibly say too much in its favor, 

 especially as a remedy for Aphis and Thrlps."— Signed, A. F. J. BAUB.

SIMPLEX 

 SPRAY PUMP 



The successful use of To-Bak-Ine Liquid 

 as a spray depends largely on the pump and 

 nozzle that is used in spraying. There are a 

 great many pumps and spraying machines on 

 the market; these have all been carefully tested 

 in our experiments and we have found that for 

 practical purposes the Simplex Spray 

 Pump illustrated on this page is the most 

 practical of any in use. These are all brass 

 pumps, excellent for all kinds of spraying 

 purposes, but are especially adapted for green- 

 house use. Price complete, $9.00.
