The above recommendations are condensed and are somewhat 
subject to change depending upon conditions in various sections of 
the country. 
Where an effective combination Insecticide and Fungicide is de¬ 
sired, “Bordo-Arsenate” used at same strength as indicated for 
Dry Powdered Arsenate of Lead will give splendid results. Dry 
Powdered Bordeaux Mixture can be used as a dry dust just as it 
comes from the package or in combination with equal quantities of 
Dry Powdered Arsenate of Lead or Arsenate of Calcium. When 
using Dry Powdered Bordeaux Mixture as a wet spray use from 
three to five pounds to fifty gallons of water for the control of 
most fungus diseases. 
Dry Powdered Insecticides can be used for dry dusting just as 
they come from the package. 
For the convenience of the home gardener, the above table will be 
of interest. 
Dry Powdered Arsenate of Lead where used at strength of one 
pound to fifty gallons of water, should be used at rate of two to 
three teaspoonfuls to one gallon of water. 
Dry Powdered Arsenate of Calcium where used at rate of three- 
fourths pound to fifty gallons of water, should be used at rate of 
two to three teaspoonfuls to one gallon of water. 
Dry Powdered Bordeaux Mixture when used at rate of three 
pounds to fifty gallons of water, should be used at the rate of from 
nine to twelve teaspoonfuls to one gallon of water. 
Dry Powdered Bordo-Arsenate when used at rate of one pound 
to fifty gallons of water should be used at rate of three to four 
teaspoonfuls to one gallon of water.

Dormant and Delayed Dormant Stage 
Material 
Dendrol Spray Oil 
To Control 
Scale, Red Mite and 
Early Scab 
2. 
Pre-pink Stage 
After delayed dormant when blossom 
buds are exposed, but not separated 
Kolodust or Free Flowing 
Sulphur 
Apple Scab 
3. 
Pink Stage 
Just as buds show pink and clusters

Kolotex or 90-10 Sulphur 
Dust 
Apple Scab, Bud Moth, 
Case Bearer and certain 
other chewing insects 
3-A 
During seasons when a period of over five days elapses between pink and calyx 
Apple Scab infection. Kolodust contains no poison—will not injure bees. 
Kolodust should be applied 
again for the prevention of 
4. 
Calyx ; just after petals fail 
Kolokil (heavy poison content) or -85-15 Sulphur Dust 
Apple Scab, Codling 
Moth, Caterpillars and 
certain other chewing in¬ 
sects 
5. 
Five to ten days after petals fall 
Kolokil or Kolotex 
Curculio, Codling Moth, 
lesser apple worms and 
green fruit worms. 
6. 
About July 5 to 15 
Kolokil or Kolotex 
Apple Maggot or Rail¬ 
road Worm. 
(A) The above dusting schedule is merely a guide. Local or 
seasonal conditions may necessitate changes in time of application. 
The apple maggot or Railroad worm is best controlled by dusting 
according to the emergence of the flies. This period is usually the 
first or second week in July. For control of this insect application 
should be repeated in 14 days. 
(B) In seasons when rains are frequent before petal fall, apple 
scab is more difficult to control. On such varieties as McIntosh 
Reds, R. I. Greenings and other susceptible varieties frequent appli¬ 
cations should be made in order to keep all new growth covered 
against infection. 
(C) Orchards should be kept under continued observation after 
applications for the control of Apple Maggot (as indicated in the 
schedule) have been made. Weather conditions may be conducive to 
the development of apple scab or sooty blotch and under such con¬ 
ditions further applications of Kolodust will be necessary. Late 
Codling Moth may become serious in which case it will be neces¬ 
sary to make further applications of Kolokil or Kolotex. 
(D) Dust with Nicotine Mixture when Aphis becomes serious.
