Spraying kills the fruit worms 



THIS is a decided fact, as is shown by recent government tests con- 

 ducted in different states and the every-day experience of practical 

 growers throughout the country. In orchards where the percentage of 

 good fruit was as low as 48 per cent, and less, spraying accomplished 

 wonders, bringing the average up to as high as 99 per cent. No matter 

 jf you have one or a dozen trees, it doesn't pay to grow wormy or 

 scarred fruit when you can have clean, well-colored fruit for your table 

 or the market with but a slight effort and small expense. 



Sherwin-Williams 

 New Process Arsenate of Lead 



is a practical insecticide for leaf-eating insects. It is as strong a poison 

 as is consistent with the absolute safety of the tree. S-W New Process 

 Arsenate of Lead is easy to mix and apply, stays in suspension, does not 

 burn the foliage and has splendid adhesive qualities. It destroys the 

 insects, improves the quality and increases the quantity of the crop. 

 We publish a 120-page book, "Spraying a Profitable Investment," 

 which should be read by everyone interested in fruits and vegetables. 

 It describes the insects and gives a remedy for each. The book is 

 mailed free; write for one.
