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. 
Kleenup Ready Mix (Oil Emulsion) Dormant Spray 
One of the best dormant sprays for scale, Green Aphis and Peach Leaf Roller. 
Apply in spring just before buds burst. Use 3 to 4 gallons to 100 gallons water. 
1. Will not freeze in storage and thus eliminates the dangers of broken emulsions. 
2. Is 99% active. 
3. Consentration requires less material per 100 gallons of spray. 
4. Deposits a heavy, uniform oil film with a water drip-off. 
5. Compatible with practically all other insecticides. 
0. Easily handled under all weather conditions. 
7. Superior wetting, spreading and penetrating qualities. 
8. Mixes with soft or hard waters. 
9. Forms a stable emulsion in the tank.
