$250.00 Reward 



IN GOLD COIN 



The above reward is offered for competent proof that Ortho Lime- 

 Sulphur Solution is even equaled or matched by the average output 

 of any other lime-sulphur plant in the United States or Canada in the 

 following points to-wit : 



First: The container; 



Second : The average strength; 



Third : The uniformity. 



Ortho Lime-Sulphur Solution is sold in 55-gallon galvanized steel drums; tests 

 always approximately 36 degrees Beaume, about i 5 to 20 per cent stronger than 

 any other average solution. The best is never too good. The first cost is no 

 greater than that of the weakly made. The "Ortho Way" is the best. Special 



prices for the month of March.

Compare and Contrast these two 



Photographs 



The one on the right shows a tree that has 

 been sprayed with "Ortho 1.3" Neutral Arsenate 

 of Lead. The one on the left is a tree which 

 was sprayed with neutral (?) arsenate of lead 

 "just as good" as Ortho. The leaves have 

 almost entirely fallen; the fruit is small; not 

 10 per cent of the fruit will pack four tiers; 

 the fruit buds are damaged, and the probability 

 is that there will be no crop next year. 



The other tree, sprayed with "Ortho 1.3" 

 Neutral Arsenate of Lead, is in perfect condi- 

 tion; the fruit is large; 80 per cent will pack 

 four-tier; not a damaged leaf on the tree, nor 

 on the ground. 



"Ortho 13" Neutral Arsenate of Lead should 

 be used in all moist climates, such as is found 

 in Hood River, tlie west side of the Cascades 

 in Oregon and Washington and British Colum- 

 bia, and along the coast in California, and on 

 all other plants in all sections, except the apple 

 and pear. 



We want to emphasize that the California 

 Spray-Chemical Company is an organization of 

 fruit growers, with chemists and entomologists, 

 for the production of perfect sprays. Our 

 knowledge is at the command of any fruit 

 grower.
