Whether you are growing fruit commercially 

 or fur home use it will pay you to spray, because 

 fruit is good or bad depending on the methods 

 of culture and spraying you adopt. If your 

 trees are producing a fair percentage of good 

 fruit now, systematic spraying will raise the 

 average, increasing the size and quantity of the 

 yield. Best results are obtained only by the 

 use of materials of the highest type —
