SPRAYING. 
We cannot be too emphatic In impressing on the horticulturist to spray his fruit trees and grape vines if 
he desires good fruit. Follow directions carefully. Experiments frequently result disastrously. Careless spraying 
will result In loss of fruit, and sometimes the trees. Every fruit-grower should purchase a spraying apparatus; 
they can now be had for a small sum. Be careful In keeping your solutions continually stirred. The best time 
for spraying is late in the afternoon or during cloudy weather, except with kerosene; this should be used on 
bright sunshiny days.
