SPRAY PUMP INSECTICIDES. 



KIIL=®= 



A SCIENTIFIC CHEMICAL COMPOUND FOR 



EXTERMINATING THE SAN JOSE SCALE. 



Many remedies have been proposed by the various agricultural departments 

 throughout the United States and Canada, some <.f which, while eat-y to apply, are 

 too expensive to be practical, and others, while inexpensive, nece:-sitate the pur- 

 chase of raw materials, mixing and cooking them, a' d generally are so much 

 trouble for the orchard man to prepare that f r equently no attempt at spraying is 

 made, until finally the orchard is so completely infested lhat the trees cease to bear 

 and then die. 



The Sale of = ©=SCALE tne past season was so great that in order to 

 supply the oe ' mana, the factory was compelled to increase 



the capacity of their plant so that now we are fully prepared to furnish any quantity 

 at short notice. Good words are constantly pouring in on us and it can be t-een from

Kl L.= @-SCJA\LE! is a scientific Chemical Compound; is a perfect remedy 

 against San Jose Seals; dissolves the wax which cements 

 the scale or protecting cover of the insect to the tree ; contracts the scale or coating 

 covering the insect, thus exp sing the insect itself to the direct action of the in- 

 secticide; forms after spraying a coating which prevents any young scale from set- 

 tling before they die from exposure; tills the respirative and digestive organs of the 

 Insect, thus destroying life; after applying to the tree, generates in drying, a pois- 

 onous gas, absolutely destructive of insect life; Is made and shipped only in con- 

 centrated form, and will mix with co'd water in any proportion, is economical; is 

 easy to apply; is not a mixture of chemicals, but a chemical product resulting 

 from a definite chemical process; KIL-o-SCALE is not a " Quack Remedy " but is 

 piepar?a for the specific purpose of killing the San Jose Scale; will not clog the spray 

 pamp or nozzle; may be used in the '.ate fall.and during the winter and early spring, 

 up until the buds swell. Will not injure the trees.

" I have been making a number of experiments, some very recently. 

 11 (?Cr'L,= ®=SCALl?) was unexpectedly effective, and while by 

 no v ^ ^^^ 7 means harmless, (to th leaf we mean) it did 



less injury than some other materials that should theoretically have 

 been milder So far as my records have come from the use of your ma- 

 terial, it is by all odds the most effective application against San J<se 

 Scale tnat I know of. It was used twice on peach trees at th < rate of 1 t.j 

 20 with practically no harm to the foliage at that season of the year. An 

 orchard of 300 trees was so completely cleaned, i^at it is almost impossible 

 to find a live scale at this time. The te-t of the material was used in 

 another peach orchard. An application being made early this spring, 

 and the effect was almost, if not quite as good. In fact, so far as I have 

 seen the material employed, it seems to answer every purpose as a winter 

 Insecticide." Signed, John B. Smith.

Gentlemen; — Tour favor of August 5'h, requesting our test of 

 IOLr© = SCrALE was duly received. I have J ust had the trees ex- 

 's'' > *^*- ,! ="=' amined and find that the application made last 

 spring destroyel p-actieally all of the old scale. The trees upon which 

 the test was made, were badly encrusted, but after the first brood ap- 

 peared the number was not more than one p«r cent, of the old scale. We 

 have also tested it as a summer spray and believe that it can be so dilu- 

 ted as to kill the larvae and *• Sets " without seriously injuring the foilage

Messrs. Griffith k Turner Co., 



205 N. Paca Street, Baltimore, Md. 

 Gentlemen ; — In response to your recent letter, I wish to say that in com- 

 pany with Dr. John B. Smith, State Entomologist of New Jersey, and Mr. A. 

 N.Brown,ex-Prt-sioent of the Peninsula Horticultural Society.I made a very 

 careful examination of some Delaware orchards, June 16, 1905, in which 

 Wl!L, = ©=SC^A\ILx£! was U8ed as a s P ra y for the destruction of scale ln- 

 J -^' !B *^=-— si-cts in comparison with a large number of other 



materials such as the lime sulphur and salt mixtures in various solutions, 

 tne K-L mixture (kerosene a d lime , K-L-B mixtur e (Iterosene, lime and 

 bordeaux), and other combination*. The •C'lIB =©=§iSAL El was used 

 at the rate of 1 gallon in 20 gallons of viJ ^ v ^^^ ^ water and 

 putonwlthaNi gara Gas Sprayer early in April, 1905. The trees upon 

 which this was used were apple, pear and peach, all of which were badly 

 infested with the San Jose Scale. On this date a large number of scale 

 were crawling about on the check row of trees which had not been treated. 

 This was the first appearance of the first brood. A careful examination 

 of the trees spra-yed with |OL=@=3»©i!M-l? showed that tne material 

 hid b^en quite effective 11 ^ destroying tue i n8e cts. 



an 1 the trees were practically cl»an at the time of our visit. On some of 

 the other trees treated with va' ious other combinations, we noted a few 

 y ung scale crawling ab ut, but did notnotice any on the trees sprayed 

 with Kil-o-Scale and n ne on another lot which had been sprayed with 

 soluble oil which was being tested. 



O ir inference was that fC|]|L=@=§CIA\LE? lu tne solution used 

 above was satisfactory and BiJ *= w «w» an em ^ en t rem dy 

 easily prepared and applied. I have no hesitancy in recommending this 

 material for general orchard use for the destruction of Snn Jose Sc le. I 

 believe it will also prove useful in combatting other insects of the orchard 

 and garden. W. G. Johnson.
