NOTICE. Poisonous insecticides cannot be 
sent by mail. Many insecticides are not dan¬ 
gerously poisonous. Some are in liquid form, 
put up in tins or glass; to send these by 
mail, extraordinary care must be given to 
the packing, which necessarily adds much to 
the weight and therefore the postage may 
seem out of proportion to the purchase price. 
Complete information from our best au¬ 
thorities on this subject has been secured 
and may be obtained in book form free.

eating and chewing insects.

SHERWIN-WILLIAMS DRY LIME-SUL¬ 
PHUR. The use and success of Lime-Sulphur 
Solution is known to practically every fruit 
grower in the country. Sherwin-Williams 
Dry Lime-Sulphur is the standard Lime- 
Sulphur Solution in dry powdered form—the 
first and only one of its kind on the market. 
It has all the advantages of the liquid ma¬ 
terial, but eliminates the disadvantages—of 
heavy freight charges, loss from evaporation 
and leakage; also the inconvenience of han¬ 
dling a heavy and bulky barrel. Its effective¬ 
ness has been proven by a number of years 
of use by large fruit growers and practically 
all Experiment Stations. 
It will control San Jose scale, leaf blister 
mite, peach leaf curl and red spider. 
Directions for use in spraying dormant 
trees. Use from 10 to 14 pounds to 50 gal¬ 
lons of water or 8 to 10 tablespoonfuls to 1 
gallon of water. For summer spraying 
against fungous diseases on all stone fruit, 
use 214 to 3 pounds to 50 gallons of water. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 10-lb. pkg., $2.50. 
Write for quantity price. May be sent by

SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PARIS GREEN has 
by years of use proven its quality. It has 
become the standard Paris Green in many

proximately 56 per cent arsenious oxide and 
less water soluble arsenic than is allowed 
by the law. It is one of the safest and most 
effective Paris Greens on the market today.

50 gallons of water. Or 2 teaspoonfuls to 1 
gallon of water. For cutworms and grass¬ 
hoppers add 1 tablespoonful of Paris Green 
to 10 pounds of bran and spread about the 
base of the plants. It is also well to add
