Hellebore 
Fresh White Hellebore i ounce 
Water 3 gallons 
Kerosene Emulsion 
Hard Soap i pound 
Boiling Water i gallon 
Kerosene 2 gallons 
Dissolve the soap in hot water, add the kero- 
sene, and churn with a pump, by directing the 
nozzle into the solution for five or ten minutes 
until it emulsifies (or becomes of a thick, creamy- 
consistency). This is the stock emulsion and will 
remain in this state indefinitely. It must be 
diluted with water according to directions. From 
four times for the San Jos^ scale, when the leaves 
are off, to twenty times for Aphis. For insects 
that suck, cabbage worms, and all insects that 
have soft bodies. 
PARIS GREEN FOR POTATOES 
Paris Green 6 to 8 ounces 
Water 40 to 50 gallons 
Test of Paris Green. Put a small quantity 
into some common ammonia or hartshorn. If it 
be good, the Paris green will all dissolve, leaving 
no sediment; if not, there will be more or less 
sediment remaining. It is always well to apply 
this test before treating a large area, as but a 
few minutes are required to make the test, and 
much valuable time may be saved, for Paris 
green is not always true to name. 
If this mixture is to be used on peach trees, 
one pound quick-lime should be added. Repeated 
applications will injure most foliage unless lime 
is added. Paris green and Bordeaux can be 
applied together with perfect safety. The action 
of neither is weakened, and the Paris green loses 
all caustic properties. For insects which chew. 
Copper Sulphate Solution 
Copper Sulphate i pound 
Water 25 gallons 
This should be used only before the foliage 
appears. It is easily applied, and acts as a general 
germicide and disinfectant. In simple solution 
topper sulphate is very injurious to foliage. When 
lime is added, as in making Bordeaux mixture, 
its corrosive action is neutralized and injury to 
the foliage prevented. In this way a larger quan- 
tity of bluestone may be used, and it adheres to 
the foliage better by the agency of lime. 
Ammoniacal Copper Carbonate 
Copper Carbonate 5 ounces 
Ammonia 2 quarts 
Water 50 gallons 
The copper carbonate is best dissolved in 
large bottles, where it will keep indefinitely, as 
it should be diluted with water as required. For 
the same purpose as Bordeaux. 
Tobacco 
Boil tobacco stems, and use at the rate of two 
gallons to each pound of stems, for sucking 
insects. 
Paris Green 
FOR KRT'IT 
Paris Green 4 ounces 
Water 40 ( r 50 gallons 
SCALECIDE 
A combined fungicide and insecticide, be- 
lieved by many to be far superior to lime-sulphur 
in the treatment for San Jose scale, and of less 
cost. Wc are prepared to furnish printed direc- 
tions for the use of Scalecide and quote prices.

CAUTIONS 
Do not mix the copper preparations in iron 
or tin; always use wood, brass or earthen vessels. 
Study carefully the nature of the insect or 
disease, and select the remedy that is most likely 
to destroy it without danger of injuring the plants. 
SPRAY PUMPS, Etc. 
We arc frequently asked by our customers to 
name the best spray pumps, nozzles, etc. While 
there are many desirable ones on the market, our 
experience with those manufactured by The 
Goulds Manufacturing Company, of Seneca 
Falls, N. Y., has been very satisfactory. We now 
use them entirely in our nursery and can recom- 
mend them to our patrons. Write us for further 
information.
