Sunoco Spray 
Scale insects include some of the 
most dangerous enemies of horticul¬ 
ture. They are small, but propagate 
so rapidly that neglected trees quickly 
become incrusted with them. Some 
kinds attack only one kind of trees; 
some of them can feed with equal 
relish in a hundred kinds. 
Scale insects have one or more gen¬ 
erations a year, depending on the spe¬ 
cies involved and the latitude. Do not 
allow these scales to gain a foothold; 
apply one dormant spray each year. 
DECIDUOUS TREE PESTS 
San Jose Scale 
A small, round, dark grey or black¬ 
ish, flat scale closely appressed to the 
bark of its host plant. A native of 
Central China, having been accidentally 
introduced. Is known to attack over 
200 different kinds of trees and shrubs 
and is one of our most dangerous tree 
pests. Sunoco Spray, 1 to 25 parts of 
water, gives practically 100 per cent 
control. 
SUMMER SPRAYS FOR RED 
SPIDER ON EVERGREENS 
Rusty evergreens in summer usually 
indicate red spider injury. These little 
pests multiply with great rapidity dur¬ 
ing hot, dry weather. Arborvitae, jun¬ 
iper, spruce, retinospora, privet and 
boxwoods are favored plants. A per¬ 
fect and easy control can be secured 
by thorough application of Sunoco 
Spray—1 part to 100 parts of water 
in the early summer when the red 
spider first appears in numbers. Ap¬ 
ply as a fine, misty fog spray, with 
considerable force to insure thoroughly 
wetting all portions of the foliage. Re¬ 
peat later if necessary.

DAHLIAS 
There are few flowers that compare with the Dahlia in 
eharming diversity of form and wide range of brilliant colors, 
and no other surpasses it for Autumn display. 
To grow Dahlias successfully spade or plow the ground 
about 12 inches deep in the early Spring, and if the soil is 
poor, work in a liberal supply of manure or a good fertilizer. 
A sprinkling of Agricultural Lime will also be beneficial. Plant 
the tuber about 2 inches from the stakes with the eye upward, 
laying them about 3 feet apart and all pointing the same way 
in rows 4 feet apart. Plant any time after May 15th.
