Directions For Use 



Mr. A. F. J. Baur, the well-known Carnation expert, writes: " If I had a 

 carnation house ever so badly infested by Greenfly or Thrips, 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 25x100 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 destroying 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 houses, about September 1 (or sooner if any insects show themselves), 

 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 be reduced to a minimum by the use of To-Bak-Ine. 



These blooms saved will easily pay for the cost of spraying and have a good balance over. It is surprising how 



many blooms are discarded by growers, which could have been saved by the use of this preparation; when you 



figure them at 3c to 5c each during midwinter it runs up into money quickly. 



"No grower can afiford to be without this preparation and it will take merely a fair trial to convince anyone 



of its 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 Thrips."— Signed, A. F. J. BAUR.
