years ago I purchased two barrels of ‘SCALECIDE*. Up 
to the time of its use after several years battle with San 
Jose Scale, using all the various remedies, I considered it a 
drawn game, but with the use of ‘SCALECIDE,’ we com¬ 
menced to gain and now consider the matter settled and 
the contest won.” 
So, since the advent of “SCALECIDE” conditions have 
changed. The fruit-grower has taken new courage, and as 
was said in a recent address, the nurserymen of New Jersey 
are unable today to supply the demand for trees.

“SCALECIDE” 
What It Is and What It Has Done 
CALECIDE” is a petroleum oil, from which the heavy lubricating and light 
inflammable oils have been removed, combined with certain vegetable 
oils and chemically treated so as to mix instantly and to all practical pur¬ 
poses permanently with cold water, making a white, milky solution. It 
is more than an emulsion because the oil globule is broken up, allowing 
it to spread further; therefore, it is economical to use. 
“SCALECIDE” is the nearest approach to a pure petroleum soap that 
has so far been made, but because of its oily appearance it is called a solu¬ 
ble oil. This was tested out and tried by a number of careful fruit 
growers before it was put on the market in the Winter and Spring of 1905. 
Up to this time, Lime-Sulphur was the only cheap, practical remedy 
for San Jose Scale. We have in a quiet way gone on breaking down the 
“doubts” of the most skeptical and proving every claim we have ever 
made: that “SCALECIDE” is more efficient, more economical and easier 
to apply than any known remedy for San Jose Scale. 
One gallon of “SCALECIDE” has a covering power equal to one and a half to two gal¬ 
lons of Lime-Sulphur; consequently, three cents worth of “SCALECIDE” will spray as many 
trees as three or four cents worth of Lime-Sulphur, and it will take about one-half as long 
to spray your orchard, as you need to apply only half as many gallons of material. No 
boiling or fussing—simply add the “SCALECIDE” to the water, start your agitator and 
spray. 
In spite of unreasonable prejudices, severe and sometimes unfair competition. “SCALE¬ 
CIDE” continues to win friends and customers — not only in the United States, but all over 
the world—wherever fruit is grown and it can be truthfully said that the sun never sets on 
orchards sprayed with “SCALECIDE,” and wherever known, “SCALECIDE” is today “the 
standard” of soluble or miscible oils. 
The Farm Journal of Philadelphia, November, 1907, on page 442, in an interesting editor¬ 
ial, admits that Lime-Sulphur has proven to be a failure in many places and recommends 
“SCALECIDE” instead, as being more effective and easier to apply.
