Putting “Salairacine” 
Where the Trouble Starts 
Salairacine is a scientifically prepared remedy to kill tree troubles where 
most of them start — in the soil around the roots. 
If your fruit trees are not giving adequate results; if you have been spend- 
ing money in sprays and treatments without success; if your shade trees are 
suffering because of infections from borers, you will welcome “Salairacine.” 
“Salairacine” destroys the insects in the soil and gives new life to young 
and old trees. It has been used with great success on trees that were 
riddled with borers. 
“Salairacine” can be purchased from 
Peter Henderson & Co., 35 Cortlandt St., New York City 
J. M. Thorburn & Co., 53 Barclay St., New York City 
Booklet, price list, and further particulars cheerfully furnished on request.
