TREE ROSES. 
The tree roses are grafted on hardy rose stocks four to five feet high; 
are tree shaped, and when in full bloom are objects of beauty, making 
handsome plants for lawn or rose border. In this shape we offer only 
the hybrid perpetual or hardy class. We have them in white, the dif- 
ferent shades of pink, rose, and crimson. Fine, strong trees that will 
bloom the first year, §1 each. 
SPRAYING. 
Experience has demonstrated that spraying, when properly done at the proper 
time is the best— if not the only — sure remedy against the destructive insects, rot, 
fungus diseases of all sorts, and certain forms of blight. That it has succeeded 
and will succeed is proven by the experience of leading Horticulturists all over the 
country. 
Many hesitate to spray from a mistaken idea that the preparations used are 
expensive. The facts are that the ingredients in the most expensive sprays do not 
cost to exceed one cent per gallon if made in quantities of from fifty to 100 gal- 
lons. The following are the best and safest 
FORMULAS. 
Bordeaux Mixture.— Dissolve six pounds of sulphate of copper in six gal- 
lons of water. In another vessel slack six pounds of fresh lime in six gallons of 
water; after the lime has cooled, turn slowly into the copper solution, add thirty- 
eight gallons of water, mix thoroughly, and strain through a coarse gunny sack, 
when it is ready for use. 
The above preparation is used for all kinds of fungus diseases, such as mildew, 
mould, scab on apples, rot on grapes, and for all forms of leaf blight. Application 
should he made with a spray pump as soon as the disease appears, and repeated 
twice at intervals of about ten days. For codlin moth add to the Bordeaux mixture 
one quarter pound of Paris green. Apply as soon as the blossom is all off and re- 
peat after ten days. 
KEROSENE EMULSION. 
Dissolve one-half pound of hard soap in one gallon of hot water and heat to 
boiling; add one quart kerosene and stir violently for five minutes until the whole 
is thoroughly mixed together; add fourteen quarts water and mix thoroughly, 
when it is ready for use. 
This mixture is used to destroy plant lice of all sorts, and that class of insects 
which suck the sap of plants through a beak. 
AMMONIACAL SOLUTION OF COPPER CARBONATE. 
Dissolve three ounces of carbonate of copper in one quart of ammonia and add 
twenty-five gallons of water. 
The above is used for various fungus diseases, principally black rot in grapes. 
All of the solutions of copper corrode iron and tin, and should be mixed in 
wooden, earthen, or brass vessels.
