THE GARDEN PRIMER 



(e) Dilute i part of stock with 15 parts of water 

 for use on plum, peach, apricot and other 

 tender foliage. 



The emulsion may be used undiluted in 

 winter, to destroy scale on trunks and large 

 branches of trees that are badly infested. 

 It cannot be sprayed however, but must be 

 applied with a brush or sponge and this 

 should only be done when a tree is in a 

 very bad state. 

 Never use the emulsion any stronger than 

 ^ directed, for it is extremely dangerous to 

 a tree unless handled with caution. Always 

 follow the table as to time of using it also. 

 The weakest solution is quite strong enough 

 for any plant infested with plant lice; such 

 soft-bodied insects succumb easily anyway. 

 It is simply a matter of reaching them 

 all.
