Spraying, Pruning, Insecticides, Etc. 
We are prepared to spray trees, shrubs, vines, etc., for insects and 
diseases. Spraying for the San Jose scale should be done during the 
winter season. 
Persons desiring information relative to spraying, the identification of 
insects and diseases, should avail themselves of the free service of our 
bureau of information. 
We frequently save money for our clients, who, being unduly alarmed 
by some harmless scale or other insect, regard an expensive treatment 
as inevitable. We also find it necessary to discourage much proposed 
pruning, especially of shade trees. 
We keep in stock a supply of insecticides, fungicides, horticultural 
fertilizers, spraying apparatus, etc. 
Bureau of Information 
The services of this bureau are free to the citizens of Dayton and 
others interested, who are invited to avail themselves of its privileges. 
It involves no obligations whatever. 
The service is personal and is adapted to the situation. 1 he soil con- 
ditions prevailing in Dayton View, Riverdale and Edgemont are radically 
different, and the same questions from each of these sections may require 
as many different answers. 
In this department, we are most often called upon to identify scale 
and other insect pests and plant diseases and to suggest remedies there- 
for. It will be remembered that many kinds of scale are harmless and 
others are dangerously injurious. Our advice is often sought as to the 
proper trees, shrubs, etc., to plant for certain purposes or under certain 
conditions, those least subject to attacks of the San Jos6 scale, the treat- 
ment and restoration of depleted and acid soils, etc., etc. 
Ask for any information desired relative to horticultural matters. We 
do not know it all, but we can usually obtain the information from 
authoritative sources when we cannot answer the inquiry from our own 
office. 
Our Publications 
We do not publish a general catalogue, but issue a number of circu- 
lars covering our various lines of stock ; thus placing in the hands of our 
patrons the particular information they may desire, instead of requiring 
them to seek it in a cumbersome catalogue. Ask for the circulars in 
which you are interested. They will be mailed free.
