UP-TO-DATE GROWERS SPRAY 



TO-BAK-INE LIQIID 



And Are Not Troubled With 



Thri ps on Carnations 



TO-BAK-INE Liquid in cans: X pint, 60c; % pint, 

 $l.lO; 1 pint, $2.00; I quart, $3.95; 1 gallon, $I5.00. 

 Also put up in lO, 20 and 40-gallon casks with lociced 

 faucet, for large growers. 



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 everjr 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 eflective in destroying these pests, as well 

 as the least harmful to the plants or blooms. 



' ' In order to derive tne 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 reg^ularly 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 sprajnng and have a good balance over. It is surprising how many 

 blooms are discarded by powers, which could have been saved by the use of this preparation ; when you figure them 

 at 3c to oc each during midwinter it runs up into money quickly. 



(Mr. Baur is Secretary of the American Carnation Society.)
