“Target Brand” Scale Destroyer. This preparation has 
been compounded with a view to give the fruit-grower, and 
others who desire to spray, every possible advantage pos¬ 
sessed in soluble oils. In making T. B. S. D. there is not 
one drop of crude oil used, consequently it possesses none of 
the dangerous qualities of the latter. 
Target Brand Scale Destroyer dilutes readily in any wa¬ 
ter, has a milky appearance and is positively neutral. It 
cannot penetrate the tree, nor can it injure the most deli¬ 
cate growth. It kills the scale by suffocation and not by 
penetration, as in the latter process the tree suffers. 
It has no caustic action, will not injure hands, clothing, 
eyes, body or spraying apparatus, and the results are evident 
4 to 6 weeks after its application. In dilution it is very 
economical — covering just one-third more space when ap¬ 
plied than lime, sulphur and salt, and it likewise covers 
more space than most other oil preparations. 
Dilution: In winter and early spring 1 gallon T. B. Scale 
Destroyer to 2 0 gallons of water; late spring 1 gallon T. B. 
Scale Destroyer to 25 gallons of water; summer 1 gallon
