What Does Your Spraying Cost? 



Spray Material is not the Greatest Cost 



€L Good labor is becoming more scarce and more expensive 

 each year. 



CL Would you like to cut your labor bill in half, and insure 

 better, cleaner trees and fruit ? Let us tell you how. 



d. One spray-tank full of "SCALECIDE" will spray as 

 many trees as two spray-tanks full of Lime Sulfur, in each instance 

 spraying until every twig is covered and the trees drip. 



C The N. Y. Experiment Station reports that 9 gallons of 

 "SCALECIDE" spray has the same covering power as 17 gallons 

 of Lime-Sulfur. We know of an orchard that required 25,000 

 gallons of Lime-Sulfur in 1911 and was sprayed in 1912 with less 

 than 11,000 gallons of "SCALECIDE" with better results. 

 Don't say you don't believe it until you have made a fair and square 

 test of it. 



€L Suppose that it takes 1-50 gallon barrel of "SCALECIDE" 

 to spray your orchard — what will it cost What would it cost to 

 do the same work v^^ith Lime-Sulfur 



1 barrel "SCALECIDE," making 800 gallons of spray 1 to 15, 

 will cost delivered in Pennsylvania and vicinity - $25.00 

 Cost of labor for applying at l^c per gallon - 12.00 



^37.00 



It will require 1500 gallons of Lime-Sulfur to spray the same or- 

 chard, v^hich will require 3/3 barrels of the best commercial Lime- 

 Sulfur 1 to 8, at $4.50 per barrel - - ^15.00 

 Labor of applying 1500 gallons of spray at l>^c 

 per gallon ----- 22.50 



;^37.50 



which demonstrates that if you pay over $4-. SO per barrel for Lime- 

 Sulfur (you cannot make it at home for that), you are paying more 

 than for "SCALECIDE" at;g25.00 per barrel. 



"Scalecide" Costs More by the Gallon, but Less by the Orchard 



C No spray is cheap that does not do the work. 



C The Missouri Experiment Station reports that "SCALECIDE" 

 killed 100% of scale (by count) in five out of seven tests, while Lime-Sulfur 

 failed to do so once in ten tests in the same orchard. 



C The finest and most productive orchards in the U. S. have never had 

 Lime-Sulfur on them, but "SCALECIDE" has been used exclusively as a 

 Winter wash since planting. We will take pleasure in referring- you to them.
