Vi FLUID 



FOR WINTER SPRAYING. 



AN INSURANCE. The Fruitgrower can effect no better insurance than 

 by cleaning his trees. The premium he pays, in time, trouble, and outlay, is 

 very small, when the benefits are considered. Unlike other kinds of insurance, 

 a full and prompt settlement of claim is made yearly. 



THE SPRAY FLUID. To obtain the best results it is important to use 

 a suitable and efficient preparation, and one that will do no injury to the trees. 



Vi FLUID 



is a preparation that pre-eminently meets the case. It destroys mosses and 

 lichens, and removes loose bark. The immediate results from its use are clean, 

 healthy trees, which offer little lodgment to insect pests. The ultimate result 

 is healthy vigorous growth. 



It should be remembered that healthy trees — trees, the vitality of which is 

 not being sapped by parasitic growths — are best able to withstand the attacks of 

 insect and fungus pests. Moreover, a clean, smooth bark gives little opportunity 

 for these pests to find lodgment and to breed. 



The success of Vi FLUID in the orchards of this country, and abroad, has 

 been most marked, and is testified to by hundreds of practical fruitgrowers. It 

 is equally beneficial to the gardener who grows fruit on a small scale, and to 

 the nurseryman who is interested in encouraging healthy growth, not only in 

 fruit trees but in nursery stock generally. 



Vi FLUID has only to be diluted with cold water to the strength directed 

 to be ready for use. 1 gallon of Fluid makes 100 gallons of wash. 



WHEN TO SPRAY. Vi FLUID should be applied in the winter months, 

 just before the buds show signs of opening. The trees then being bare of 

 leaves, the spray mixture can reach and envelop every part. At this time also 

 there is much dormant life in cracks and crevices, and on the parasitic growth 

 —mosses and lichens — with which neglected trees are always clothed. The 

 removal of the latter necessarily involves the destruction of a host of injurious 

 pests. 



THE SPRAYING MACHINE. An up-to-date spraying machine, which 

 throws the spray in a fine impalpable mist, is necessary. It renders the process 

 easy, and economical of spray mixture.
