SPRAYING—We are equipped with a barrel spray outfit and can spray your fruit and shade trees. All fruit 
trees require one or two sprayings if you expect to have fruit free from worms and scab. Local people get in touch 
with us and we will advise as to the best time to spray. Leaf-rollers and aphis are very bad on American Elm and 
will injure the trees if not controlled. Trees should be sprayed early, just after the leaves open and again later. See 
that your trees are kept healthy.
