Spraying Schedule for 
Home Garden and 
Orchard 
I F a home garden or orchard 
is worth planting it deserves 
adequate protection against 
the insects and diseases. Plants 
can do little nowadays to pro¬ 
duce crops of good quality 
without considerable help from 
the gardener himself. 
Protecting plants in the home 
garden is not an expensive, dif¬ 
ficult, nor laborious task con¬ 
sidering the remarkable returns 
that may be had from the time 
spent in rendering such protec¬ 
tion. The value derived from 
spraying the home garden and 
orchard has been demonstrated 
so many times that it should be 
unnecessary to say that the 
practice pays. 
All insects and diseases do not 
work in the same manner, as has 
been explained; neither do they 
all appear at once. It is essential, 
therefore, in spraying the home 
garden or orchard that the dis¬ 
tinction be recognized and 
spraying schedules planned ac¬ 
cordingly. 
The Sherwin-Williams Spray¬ 
ing Guide presents practical 
schedules which, if followed 
closely will produce results that 
will both surprise and reward 
those who practice them. 
It would be difficult to find a 
person who would not be thrilled 
at the sight of the old apple or 
pear tree bending low under a 
load of large perfect fruit, free 
from any sort of blemish, as the 
result of thorough and timely 
spraying. Similar results may 
be obtained from every culti¬ 
vated plant growing in the home 
garden and orchard.

we carry in stock at all times for
