Lime-Sulphur Solution, Liquid. The most generally satisfactory 

 and effective of all dormant sprays; a safe and sure destroyer of all 

 kinds of scale, as well as peach leaf-curl, bud-moth, apple-aphis, 

 blister-mite, peach-worm, bark-lice, etc; also an efficient fungicide. 

 It is strictly a dormant spray and should not be applied while the 

 trees are in leaf. Fruit trees and shrubs of all kinds should be 

 sprayed every spring at the time the buds begin to swell but before 

 they show green at the tips. Badly infested trees should be sprayed 

 twice a year — once in early spring and again in the fall as soon as 

 the leaves have fallen. Lime-Sulphur, besides being as effective as 

 any of the dormant sprays, is cheap and easy to apply. It has 

 absolutely no injurious accumulative effect as do many of the "oil 

 sprays," which will often injure and sometimes kill the trees if used 

 repeatedly. The solution we offer is a clear, cherry-colored, con- 

 centrated liquid which, for all ordinary spraying should be diluted 

 with 8 or 9 gallons of cold water to 1 gallon of the Lime-Sulphur 

 solution. Put up in tin packages and oak barrels. Qt. 40 cts., 

 gal. 90 cts., 5 gals. S3.00, 10 gals. $5.00, 25 gal. bbl. $9.25, 50 gal. 

 bbl. S15.25. 



Lime-Sulphur, Powdered Form. A form of concentrated Lime- 

 Sulphur which will readily mix with cold water to make fresh 

 liquid Lime-Sulphur for use as a dormant spray. Twenty to 25 

 pounds of the powder will make 50 gallons of liquid of 32 per cent 

 Baume strength, ready for spraying. Lb. 40 cts., 5 lbs. $1.75, 

 10 lbs. $3.00, 25 lbs. S5.50, 100 lbs. $17.00. 



Note. — Agricultural Experiment Stations recommend Lime-Sul- 

 phur in its various forms as the most economical and effective dor- 

 mant spray, and the only spray that will positively not injure trees 

 if used at the proper time.
