Directions for Use

MR. A. F. J. BAUR, the wcH-knowu Carnation expert, writes: "If I had a 

 rarnation 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 liouse ^5x100 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 sudicient. 



"I am satisfied that spraying is most etreeiivc 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 onoe each week as soon as they are well established 

 on the beds in the houses, 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 blooma 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 afford 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.
