SPRAYING. 



Spraying trees and shrubs becomes 

 more of a necessity each year, and every 

 florist should know something about it. 

 Quite a number are now carrying spray- 

 ing outfits and this class of work forms 

 an important part of their work, yield- 

 ing also a good profit. The man or wom- 

 an who will not spray cannot expect good 

 crops. 



Spraying for San Jose, oyster shell 

 and other scales should be done while

the trees or shrubs are dormant. Except 

 in the more northerly states, it is now 

 late to use either the lime sulphur solu- 

 tion or the soluble oils. Bordeaux mix- 

 ture is the standard fungicide for rust, 

 scab and fungous diseases. It does not 

 kUl insects, however, as some imagine. 

 Arsenate of lead, at the rate of eight 

 pounds to 100 gallons of water, is the 

 best of all remedies for all leaf-eating 

 insects. For the codling-moth on apples 

 and other fruits, a thorough spraying 

 with Bordeaux and arsenate of lead 

 should be given as soon as the blossoms 

 fall, using a nozzle which will give a fine, 

 misty spray. 



The spray pumps used for fighting in- 

 sects can also be advantageously used 

 for shading greenhouses, doing the work 

 in a fraction of the time necessary when 

 brushes are used. 



For aphis thero is no better remedy 

 than kerosene emulsion. It is well to pre- 

 pare a good supply of this now, as it will

soon be needed. Dissolve one-half pound 

 of any good, hard soap in a gallon of 

 boiling water. Churn until a wMte emul- 

 sion is formed. One gallon of this to ten 

 gallons of water will kill aphis on any 

 trees or shrubs. It is also excellent for 

 chrysanthemums, and at the above 

 strength it will not injure the foliage 

 if kept well agitated while being ap- 

 plied.
