Steckler’s Fungicide. 
We take great pleasure in introducing 
to our patrons a formula to be used as 
a spray—that is one of the most valuable 
preventives and remedies for’ the 
various forms of rust and mildew ever 
introduced, being, as it is, non-poisonous 
and absolutely non-injurious to the most 
sensitive form of plant life. The various 
forms of mildew and rust are positively 
controlled on Melons, Cucumbers, Toma- 
toes, Ege Plants, etc., while the same 
troubles are equally as easily subdued on 
Fig, Peach, Plum, Apple and all kinds 
of Fruit Trees, Sweet Olives, Cape Jas- 
mines and all deciduous trees. It should 
be applied about every two weeks or 
following each excessive rain. It will 
not discolor the most delicate fruit, and 
can be used with great freedom. Prices, 
1 pint, 15c.; 1 quart, 25c.; % gallon, 40c.; 
1 gallon, 60c.; 5 gallons, $2.50. Cannot

The Following Mixtures Have Been 
Found To Be Very Effective In De- 
stroying All Parasites and Insects 
on Fruit Trees. 
Kerosene Emulsion.—This solution is 
used with great success in killing all 
sucking insects, such as scales, plant lice, 
and above all the destructive Icterya 
Purchasi Maskell, or Cottony Cushion 
Scale, on orange and other fruit trees. 
This formula will be found the best: 
Dissolve half a pound of Whale Oil 
Soap in half a gallon of boiling water, 
' then add one gallon of Kerosene Oil, 
churn the mixture with a force pump till 
it forms a cream which thickens upon 
cooling. For scale insects dilute one part 
of the emulsion with 9 parts of water. 
Bordeaux Mixture.—Dissolve 4 pounds 
of powdered sulphate of copper in 4 
gallons of boiling water. Slake 6 pounds 
of fresh Lime in 4 gallons of hot waiter, 
mix both solutions thoroughly by pouring 
them together into third vessel so that 
the two streams will intermingle as they 
fall. Then strain them through a fine 
sieve, and before using, dilute to fifty 
gallons, being sure to keep solution well 
agitated while applying. 
Ammoniacal Carbonate of Copper 
Solution.—Dissolve 3 ounces of Copper 
Carbonate in 1 quart of liquid ammonia 
and dilute to 27 gallons. 
Arsenate of Lead.—Use paste in pro- 
portion of two pounds to fifty gallons of 
water, thoroughly mixing paste with 
small quantity of water first, and then 
diluting to proper strength. For such 
insects as cotton catterpillar, boll worm, 
etc., the powdered form is preferable, but 
liquid should be used for fruit trees. A 
splendid insecticide for all leaf-eating 
insects.
