12 DWYEE'S GUIDE. 



to a pasty substance one-quarter pound of Paris green and add to above, 

 mixing all thoroughly together. This is an efficacious mixture and one 

 that can be used advantageously at all seasons for spraying. 



The first spraying should be done in the early Spring, just as 

 the buds begin to swell; the second spraying as soon as the blossoms be- 

 gin to fall. This is the most important spray of all, its principal purpose 

 being, of course, to destroy the codlin moth, and in addition it is intended 

 to have it cope with any other insects, or fungous diseases. It is also de- 

 sirable as well as beneficial to make a third spraying about two weeks 

 after the second. Should the leaves of your trees show rust or mildew 

 at any time, spray at once with the Bordeaux Mixture (without the ad- 

 dition of the Paris green). The spray can be applied to the trees so that 

 it may fall upon the limbs, leaves and fruit. The style of spray pump to 

 use W'ill depend entirely on circumstances and your requirements. For 

 large orchard spraying the barrel pump will be the best and most econ- 

 omical, while for scattering small plantings and for general purposes on 

 the private place or small diversified fruit farm, the knapsack sprayer 

 would be the most desirable and satisfactory. We are using the Gould's 

 make of pump and are able to recommend them.

 poses. When their use is necessary on any of the trees, plants, vines or
