HOW AND WHEN TO SPRAY 



HOW TO SPRAY. 



Intelligence in application and good judgment are the two 

 great principles that insure success in spraying. 



Professor Smith, Entomologist of New Jersey, says in one 

 of his reports that he made a very interesting observation in 

 an application of KIL-o-SCALE made by a local nurseryman. 

 TVe quote him as follows: "It proved to be an excellent illus- 

 tration of how spraying is often done, a»«l 1 advised the 

 owner at once that he must not look for satisfactory results. 

 The objeet eepmetl to bu to get over the greatest number of 



trees in the least possible time, and whenever the spraying 

 rod had been over as many movements as might reasonably 

 be required for a covering, the work was considered finished. 

 Such work is bound to be unsuccessful, no matter what the 

 material applied, and it is regretfully concluded that much of 

 the work tlone is of this same general character." 



In spraying for San Jose scale both fall and spring appli- 

 cations are very advisable, but in cases where it is impossible 

 to do it twice, then the spring of the year is preferable. The ad- 

 vantage in spraying twice lies in the fact that the scale that 

 are missed in the lirst spraying can be killed in the second. 



BOBPEAVX MIXTURE, 



Copper sulphate 6 pounds. 



, Quicklime ...4 pounds. 



Water 40 = ad gallons, 



Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting in a bag Of coarse 

 cloth and hanging this in a vessel holding at least 4 gallons, 

 so that it is just covered by the water. Use an earthen or 

 wooden vessel. Slake the lime in an equal amount of water. 

 Then mix the two, and add enough water to make 40 gallons. 

 It is then ready for immediate use, but will keep indefinitely. 

 If the mixture is to be used on peach foliage, it is advisable 

 to use an extra pound of lime to the above formula. W hen 

 applied to such plants as carnations or cabbages, it will ad- 

 here better if about a pound of hard soap be dissolved in hot 

 water and added to the mixture. For rots, molds, mildews 

 and all fungous diseases. 



COPPER St tPHATE SOLI TION. 



Copper Sulphate • 1 pound. 



Water .... 15 gallons 



Dis 

 for use 



solve the copper sulphate in the water, when it is ready 

 se. This should never be applied to foliage, but must be 



used before the buds break. For peaches and nectarines, use 

 25 gallons of water. For fungous diseases. 



AMMONiAcAL COPPER CARBONATE. 



Copper Carbonate 1 ounce. 



Ammonia enough to dissolve the copper. 



Water 9 gallons. 



The copper carbonate is best dissolved in large bottles, where 

 it will keep indefinitely, and it should be diluted with water 

 as required. For the same purpose as Bordeaux Mixture. 



Spray with KIL- o-SCALE. 



KEROSENE EMULSION. 



Hard Soap % pound. 



Boiling Water 1 gallon. 



Kerosene 2 gallons. 



Dissolve the soap in water, add the kerosene, and churn 

 with a rump for 5 to 10 minutes. Dilute 10 to 25 times before 

 applying. Use strong emulsion for all scale insects. For in- 

 sects which suck, as plant lice, mealy bugs, red spider, tnrips, 

 bark lice or scale. Cabbage worms, currant worms and all 

 insects which have soft bodies, can also be successfully treated.

EXPLANATION. — Whenever an Aster- 

 isk (*) is used it cautions against spray- 

 ing with poisons while the plants are in 

 blossoms. A Dagger (f) indicates that 

 there is danger of making an application 

 within three weeks of the time the fruit 

 is to be used as food.
