Buchanan’s Dependable Insecticides 
Order early. Fruit trees should be sprayed late in winter or very early in spring. We have 
written five pages—Nos. 66, 67, 68, 69, 70—about spraying fruits, vegetables, flowers and shade trees. 
BUCHANAN’S OIL EMULSION 
A few years ago, when the U. S. Department of Agriculture developed the formula for Oil 
Emulsion and made certain claims for it, many good orchardists accepted their recommendations 
and have continued using it, to their entire satisfaction. Most of the more skeptical orchard- 
ists have since been convinced of its merits, and the use of Oil Emulsion has steadily grown. 
An Emulsion can be made of any oil from coal oil up to the extremely heavy oils, but Oil 
Emulsion made of the light and low grade oils will not control scale and will frequently injure 
fruit trees. Buchanan’s Oil Emulsion is made exactly according to U. S. Government Formula. 
BUCHANAN’S OIL EMULSION—For a dormant spray, Buchanan’s Oil Emulsion provides the 
cheapest most effective and complete control of scale insects, aphis and thrips that winter 
over on trees. For scale control on all fruit trees, use 1 gallon Oil Emukinn „ T 
water, or 2 gallons to 48 gallons water for a 50-gallon mixture. If your water is extremely harcf 
4 pounds Bordeaux added to each 50 gallons of water, before adding the oil, will prevent oU 
from curdlmg To get best results, every part of the tree must be completely covered Spray 
in fall after leaves and fruit are off, or in spring before buds swell. To control peach lea^

LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION—Is an insecticide as well as a fungicide, free from' sediment and 
works through the nozzle easily. Used as an insecticide to control San Jose scale, blSer mite 
and similar sucking or scale insects at a dilution of 1 gallon to 8 gallons of water and applied 
either after the leaves drop in the fall or before the buds open in the spring Foreman 
quantities use 1 pint Lime Sulphur Solution to 1 gallon of water. Never use at this strength 
when trees are in foliage. The spring application, just before the buds swell, will assist^n 
controlling leaf blister mite, plant lice and peach leaf curl and is advisable in orchards when 
the scale is already under control. To control scab, leaf spot and similar fungus diseases on 
apples and pears, use 1 gallon to 50 gallons of water.

SCALECIDE (Miscible Oil Spray)- CASEIN SPREADER (The Casein Spreader and Adhesive)- 
Makes the spray spread, makes it stick and makes it cover a 
greater surface. Most sprays collect in drops that frequently 
drop off and only the surface under the drop is protected. 
Casein spreader greatly increases the spreading and wetting 
properties of the spray, spreads it evenly over the entire sur¬ 
face of bark, fruit and leaves and makes the spray stick per¬ 
sistently, regardless of rains. It can be used with Bordeaux 
Mixture, Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green, Black Leaf 40, Lime 
Sulphur and oil sprays and with combinations of these sprays. 
It reduces the injury caused by soluble arsenic in all arsenical 
sprays. Use two heaping tablespoonfuls for each 5 gallons 
of spray, or 1 pound for each 50 gallons. Price, post paid—

The most complete dormant spray 
for fruit trees, shrubs and vines. 
Pleasant to use, non-poisonous. 
Kills scale, insects, eggs, larvae and 
disease cankers and fungus spores 
wintering on the plant. 
Besides scale control, which is 
taken for granted if Scalecide is 
thoroughly applied, the cleaning 
up of brown rot cankers is vastly 
important. This is a type of work 
done with no other spray.

BLUESTONE-COPPER SULPHATE—FOR MAKING HOME-MADE BORDEAUX MIXTURE 
BLUESTONE-COPPER SULPHATE—Used more each year in making home-mixed Bordeaux. By proceeding according to 
ithe following directions, one can make their Bordeaux Mixture at home very cheaply: Dissolve Bluestone at the rate 
of 1 pound to each gallon of water. The only way Bluestone can be dissolved is by suspending it over a period of hours 
in a bag so that the bottom of the bag extends about 3 inches below the surface of the water. Using any kind of a 
[container, dissolve Hydrated Lime at the rate of 1% pounds to each gallon of water. To each 42 gallons of water add 
4 gallons of the concentrated Bluestone solution. Then, while stirring vigorously, add 4 gallons of the concentrated lime 
solution. This makes 50 gallons of 4-4-50 strength Bordeaux Mixture. In case you need a 3-4-50 strength, use only 3 
gallons of the Bluestone solution, and if you wish a 5-4-50 strength, use 5 gallons of the Bluestone solution, but do not 
change the other ingredients. By combining the Bluestone and the Lime Water solutions at different proportions, one 
can make any strength Bordeaux Mixture desired. Bordeaux Mixture at the proper strength, in combination with Arsenate 
of Lead, is used to spray grapes and pecans during the entire season, apples and many vegetables during part of the 
season. In case you wish to avoid the delay of dissolving the Bluestone crystals, you can use the Snowform Bluestone, 
priced below, which will go into solution instantly. Will keep indefinitely. Special prices quoted on large quantities.
