"SCALECIDE" 



As proof of our confidence and to strengthen yours, 

 we will make the following proposition to any fruit 

 grower of average honesty and veracity: 

 Divide your orchard in half, no matter how large or 

 small. Spray one-half with "SCAL-ECIDE," and 

 the other with Lime-Sulfur for three years, every- 

 thing else being equal. If at the end of that time, 

 three disinterested fruit growers say that the part 

 sprayed with "SCALECIDE" is not in every way 

 better than that sprayed with Lime-Sulfur, we will 

 return you the money you paid us for the "SCALE- 

 CIDE."
