DRY ” 
(Arsenate of Lead) 
A pure Arsenate of Lead containing 33% arsenic oxide, 
absolutely chemically combined with lead and the lowest 
percentage of “ tree ” or water soluble arsenic. It is the ideal 
compound for spiaying potatoes because it combines the 
quality of quick poisoning (superior suspension), giving even 
application; absolutely safe from “ burning ” and great 
adhesiveness. It gives an even application, covers more 
thoroughly and sticks to the foliage longer. It mixes easily 
and readily in water. No working up to prepare for the spray 
tank. No straining. It is only necessary to shake the 
proportional amount into the spray 
tank. By using the same weight 
each time you spray, your mixture 
is always the same strength. No 
guesswork. Standardization is alone 
worth the price. No freight to pay 
on water ; cannot fieeze or dry out, 
cake, or lose its strength. J4-lb.

Corona Dusting Sulphur for Fungus Pests. Pure refined 
superfine flour sulphur. No other ingredients. This pure 
sulphur is especially prepared for dusting. It can be used for 
all purposes of commercially pure sulphur. There are many 
insects, and even more fungus diseases, that have no known 
remedies at the present time. The fungus diseases are the 
harder of the two to handle, but some of the most common 
ones can easily be controlled by the use of an efficient sulphur 
product. Price 1-lb. can 20 cts., 5-lb. cans 75 cts., 25-lb. drums 
9 cts. lb., 100-lb. drums 7 cts. lb. 
Method of Application : “ Corona Dry ” and Corona 
Dusting Sulphur are applied to growing plants, trees, shrubs, 
etc., in exactly the same way. The dry powder is placed in the 
powder reservoir of the powder gun, or duster, and is blown 
over the foliage. The dust is so light, fine and uniform that 
it comes out in a cloud, and spreads over the plant much more 
rapidly than wet sprays can be applied. The foliage and fruit 
is covered with the protective dust very completely, and in 
about one-fifth of the usual time. The dust sticks just as well 
as a wet spray, and gives a much more even and thorough 
covering. In fact, dusting methods have proven far superior 
to wet methods, for control of many insects’ injuries such as 
codling moth, etc., and the danger due to injury from ‘‘burning” 
has been practically eliminated.

Insecticide and Fungicide made by mixing equal parts by

shown in the booklet, “ Garden Pests and Their Control.”
