Do You Want An Orchard 

 In The Willamette Valley? 



In order that we may dispose of our few remaining 

 orchards, we offer a special inducement to purchasers in 

 the way of transportation. This special offer, combined 

 with our low prices, easy terms and a contract with many 

 attractive features, makes this a bargain not to be found 

 anywhere else in the fruit growing districts. They will 

 not last long. 



Write for descriptive literature and details of this 

 special offer.

sprayed as thick as heavy whitewash 

 without the least bit of injury. On 

 small field crops, such as beans, potatoes, 

 etc., it has given no injury, but on the 

 peach, which is supposed to be more 

 hardy than the bean, the injury was 

 severe. 



In the Northwest, and in all dry coun- 

 tries where codling moth breeds abun- 

 dantly, stung apples are in great num- 

 ber. These apples are not wormy, but 

 since the codling moth has left its mark 

 they have to be rejected from "quality 

 first." Zinc arsenite will prevent all this; 

 it will give apples free from stings; it 

 will raise the grade of the orchard run 

 of fruit materially, and will lower the 

 cost of spraying, as the equivalent of 

 twelve cents of arsenate of lead can be 



purchased in this material for less than 

 five cents. 



After discovering the applicability of 

 this material as an insecticide, Mr. Volck 

 and myself have proceeded slowly in the 

 matter of recommendation until we were 

 thoroughly satisfied with the material 

 from the safety standpoint. As regards 

 safety, zinc arsenite stands between neu- 

 tral arsenate of lead, a material which 

 absolutely will not injury the foliage 

 however thick it might be applied, and 

 acid lead arsenate, which is considered 

 safe in most of the Northwest section. 

 So here stands a material with safety as 

 regards arsenical injury, in between neu- 

 tral arsenate and acid arsenate, accom- 

 plishing perfect control of the codling 

 moth, with the freedom from worm 

 stings, at a considerable less cost.

 SPRAY WITH ' SCALECIDE' 



All injurious oils and harmful substances have been 

 eliminated in the making of ^'Scalecide" and all of the 

 soluble sulphur has been retained to give it the insecti- 

 cidal value. This, combined with a powerful fungicide 

 makes Scalecide the most satisfactory and effective 

 destroyer of scale and all soft-bodied insects known. 



It win eradicate an fungus that can 

 be controlled in a dormant season 



Mr. Edwin C. Tyson of Flora Dale, 

 Pennsylvania, sold $g6o worth of apples 

 from 54 trees that 5 years ago he con- 

 sidered no good and started to take out. 

 These trees have had nine successive 

 applications of '■'■Scalecide," 



Mr. Roy Lamer of Cobden, Illinois, 

 sold ^12,361 worth of peaches from 2000 

 trees and one of his neighbors sold 

 $1008 worth from 65 trees treated for 

 several years with ^'■Scalecide.'"

For the last two years various orchard- 

 ists have tried this material, and in every 

 instance it has displaced arsenate of 

 lead. Government experts have used this 

 chemical with fine success upon hard 

 killing -insects. The Montana Experi- 

 ment Station has found it to be the least 

 injurious to the soil of all which they 

 have tried.
