The southern wholesale nurseries that 

 make a specialty of peach trees saj they 

 have had a banner season.

 scale, in these later days, takes a wise 

 head and a deep pocketbook.

 ing of the American Association of Nur-

 to an upright position and the truck 

 pulled out of the hole by means of a 

 block and tackle.

Dear Sirs: Having received yonr sample of Aphine, I at once 

 made a test for mealy bng on ooleas and orotons and the effect was 

 marvelous; the mealy bng dried np without any damage to the 

 plants. Have since purchased four gallons of Aphine and used the 

 same aocordiag to directions, with spray, on green and white fly, 

 also scale on palms, with the same success. I am more than pleased 

 at the results of your insecticide, and will continue its use, as it is 

 safe, sure and reliable, and can honestly recommend it to all my 

 brother craftsmen. Very respectfully yours,
