Spray any time in the Spring up to the time that the buds,and blossoms begin to come 
out. Some have sprayed successfully with “SCALECIDE” when the trees arc in full bloom 
or just as the blossom is off, and it is better than not spraying at all if your trees are badly 
infested, you run the risk of losing the crop, but this is better than losing the trees. 
i-crurrinr” 111 scalding of the tender leaf will soon disappear. We do not recommend 
SEALEC I DJy as a Summer spray except at dilute strengths of 1 part to 30 or 40 parts of 
water for apple aphis, etc., or for scale, white fly, rust-mite, etc., on citrus trees. 
Fall spraying has a distinct advantage over Spring spraying in the fact that you will 
have more time to do the work and to make a more thorough job of it than during the rush 
of Spring work. 
After being sprayed with “SCALECIDE” the trees go into the Winter free from the 
drain of the life sucking scale, parasites and fungous diseases attacking them, the soluble oils 
having a cleansing and stimulating effect far greater than Lime-Sulphur or any other spray. 
The addition of. a distinct fungicidal agent makes “SCALECIDE” still more firm in its envi¬ 
able reputation of being the most perfect and effective spray solution on the market. 
Spraying Citrus Trees with “Scalecide” 
For years the laborious and expensive method of fumigating citrus trees was the only way 
of ridding them of scale and fungous troubles but for a number of years “SCALECIDE” has 
been growing in favor in Morida, California, Porto Rico, Australia, South Africa, etc. 
Mr. H. E. V. Pickstone, of Meerlust, South Africa, writes: “My trees are now so clean 
I do not think I shall require ‘SCALECIDE’ this season, but please reserve me 100 gallons.” 
Mr. H. O. Arton of Cape Colony, writes: “I should be compelled to use it if it were 
three times the price.” 
Commence spraying just after the new growth starts, using not stronger than 1 gallon to 
25 gallons of water (1 to 30 or 40 gallons has proven effective) for all kinds of scale, rust- 
mite, etc. For white fly use 1 to 50 or 60 gallons of water. Even more dilute strengths 
have proven effective. 
Where the trees and leaves are badly diseased, and the stronger strengths of “SCALE¬ 
CIDE” are used, these old leaves may fall off, sometimes causing needless alarm, but the in¬ 
creased vigor of the new growth and the trees generally will be gratifying. 
The repeated application of “SCALECIDE”, 1 to 40 or 50, during the growing season will 
keep your fruit clean and bright. 
The tops of all young citrus trees should be dipped in “SCALECIDE” 
1 to 25 or 30, just before setting out, and it will guarantee against scale 
and fungus and is better than fumigation. 
Mr.- J. H. Hale, Horticulturist and fruit-grower of Connecticut and 
Georgia, whose genial personality and forceful advice is known and appre¬ 
ciated wherever fruit topics are discussed, writes us as follows, October 1, 
1907: 
“I think “SCALECIDE” thoroughly effectual in killing the San Jose 
scale and the most satisfactory of any of the oil mixtures.
