FOR SAN JOSE SCALE USE 

 " TARGET BRAND '' SCALE DESTROYER 



This is composed of a non-penetrating oil combined with resin. It is thoroughly soluble in 

 water, and will not separate, nor does it need to be agitated while spraying. It can even be mixed 

 a day or two before being used, and allowed to be stored in the spray tank or other vessels without 

 separation. 



It is beyond a doubt the cheapest, easiest to prepare, and the most reliable spray for fruit 

 orchards. 



ft coats the tree with a thin film, killing the scale by suffocation and not by penetration, as 

 in the latter process the tree suffers. It can be used as a preventive as well as a cure.
