SPRAY MATERIAL 
for Fruit Trees, Roses and Plants 
Good Spray material is almost as important as the plants, as many plants 
will not survive the attacks of insects. Therefore, a good spray is necessary 
once in a while. The insecticides that I list here I think are the best as to 
quality and effectiveness. 
OIL EMULSION (Dormant Spray) 
For an economical cleanup of San Jose and other scale 
on Apple trees, Pear trees, Shrubbery; also Aphis on fruit 
trees and shrubbery, Peach leaf roller. This is a dormant 
spray. Use before the leaves appear—between Feb. 1st and 
early April. I think the spray is more effective if delayed— 
that is, just before the buds burst. 
1 Gallon of Oil Emulsion to 20 Gallons of water. 5 gal. of 
Oil Emulsion to 100 Gallons of water. 
Price $1.00 per Gallon. 5 Gallons $3.75 prepaid 
10% discount to those that call at the Nursery with their 
own container. A big mouth container is necessary as this 
spray is in a soft paste form. Free Instruction booklet with 
each order.

FISH OIL SOAP —Use for washing shade trees to protect them from 
bores, wash all round shade trees once every 30 days with a good 
suds of Fish Oil Soap starting in April. Just 
the trunk is all that is necessary. Fish oil 
soap is fine to mix with nicotine for aphis 
sprays.

LIME SULPHUR —Used for fruit tree scale as a dormant spray, but 
we prefer the Oil Emulsion. LIME SULPHUR is the best for 
control of the disease on Raspberries. Spray just when the 
leaves show in the spring. Use 5 lbs. to 50 gallons water. Also 
advisable to spray again in Sept, using same amount.
