 gicide, the same as Bordeaux Mixture, the essential 

 ingredient, "Carbonate of Copper," being dissolved 

 in ammonia in this, while in Bordeaux it is counter- 

 acted by lime. Bordeaux is the cheaper and most 

 popular for all ordinary purposes, but for late 

 sprayings, when fruits are nearing maturity, or 

 plants in bloom, Copper Solution is usually used, 

 as there is no limy sediment left to be washed off 

 by rain or hand before marketing. One quart is 

 sufficient for 25 gallons of spray. Price, 1 quart, 

 50c; 1 gallon, 31.50. 



FIR TREE OIL. A popular Insecticide for green- 

 house and house plants; it frees plants of nearly 

 all insects to which they are subject, and for the 

 following it has no superior: Mealy bug, scale, red 

 spider, aphis (black and green), thrip, blight,

FORMALDEHYDE is a comparatively non-poi- 

 sonous microbicide and antiseptic, of a gaseous 

 nature absorbed by water, and may be readily 

 diluted in any proportion. It is of pronounced 

 efficiency in destroying disease germs affecting both 

 animal and plant life, and is successfully employed 

 as a preventive of such fungoid diseases as potato 

 scab, onion and grain smuts, musty corn and other 

 affected seeds, damping off of seedlings, club root 

 of roses, etc., for the restraining of decay in vege- 

 tables, fruits, etc., and as an antiseptic wash and 

 spray for bark diseases, canker and wounds in 

 trees, and as a disinfectant for stables, kennels, 

 i poultry houses, etc. Crops raised from seeds 

 treated with Formaldehyde solutions, in most in- 

 stances give greatly increased yields and of 

 healthier, cleaner and more salable products, 

 theoretically accounted for by the destruction or 

 holding in check of parasites and decay fungus 

 when cold soils or other uncongenial conditions 

 retard germination, thus allowing the seed to con- 

 sume all of its stored plant food and get a vigorous 

 start. The dilution for most purposes is 1 lb. (1 

 pint) Formaldehyde to 30 to 45 gallons of water 

 and 1 to 2 gallons of this dilution is required for 

 treatment of every bushel of seed. Specific direc- 

 tions supplied with each purchase. Price of For- 

 maldehyde (40 volume %), 1 lb. bottle, 40c; 

 5 lb. bottle, @ 35c. lb.; 10 lb. bottle, @ 30c lb.;
