BOROWAX 



THE FRUIT GROWER'S FRIEND. 



A Complete Protection Against Borers if Properly Applied 

 to Peach, Plum, Apple, Pear and Quince Trees. 



Keep the borers out! Once they get in, no known material will destroy them 

 without killing the tree, and they can be removed only by the use of the knife a 

 method that is slow, laborious, expensive and one that leaves the tree in a damaged 

 condition.

" In the form in which it is most familiar to the grower, the psach-tree borer is a white, grub- like 

 caterpillcir with a yellowish or brownish shield-like head, [see illustration], which lives and feeds in the tree 

 trunks at or just below the surface of the ground and makes irregular galleries 

 or chambers just beneath the bark, from which gum and sap ooze out to form 

 conspicuous masses. These borers may be found at almost all penods during 

 the summer, but are usually very small in late summer or fall and become an 

 inch to an inch and a half in length in early summer." 



THE ONLY RELIABLE PREVENTIVE. 



Borovvax is tlie only reliable material for keeping borers 

 out of fruit trees, as yet known. The borer is the wcrst enemy 

 of the peach and is distributed throughout the entire ccuntry. 

 It does great damage, frequently causing the tree to die outright 

 if permitted to continue its work of destruction undisturbed. 



In my own peach orchards hundreds of trees were killed each 

 year by borers until the discovery of BDrowax, though we exer- 

 cised great vigilance in extracting them with the knife. 1 am 

 now treating all my orchards with Borowax, (consisting of one 

 hundred and fifty acres) and my troubles with borers are ended. 



One application of Borowax will keep out the borers this 

 year, and the year after. In 1906 the first peach trees 

 were treated with Borowax ; but one application was made and 

 the trees are still entirely free from borers, healthy, vigorous and 

 productive ; although untreated trees of same age in adjoining damaged by Borer, 

 orchards are dead and dying from borer infestation. Let it be distinctly understood 

 however, that Borowax loill not destroy the borers which are in the trees at the time it 

 is applied.
