“CORONA DRY” 
Arsenate of Lead 
The “Standard” for Convenience, Economy, Efficiency 
For Applications with Water on Fruit Trees, Potatoes, etc. 
Largest and Most Progressive Growers have Rendered the Verdict 
The ease with which Corona mixes in water makes preparing for the spraying application a 
simple as well as accurate operation. It is unnecessary to make a paste of Corona and pass it through 
a strainer to know that the lumps are thoroughly broken up. Experience has shown that it is only 
necessary to shake the proportional amount of Corona into the spray tank and the agitator will quickly 
make an even and smooth mixture. For example — in spraying for codling moth, fill the spray tank 
with 50 gallons of water; weigh out one pound of “Corona Dry” and shake it into the tank; a short 
period of agitation will give a thorough mixture ready to apply on the trees. A measure sufficient to 
hold the proportional amount of Corona to the watet> in the tank will do away with the weighing 
each time. 
It is distinctive for quick poisoning—even application and great adhesiveness. 
Its purity and unusual chemical activeness give it highest poisoning power. 
Its fineness of subdivision and great suspension properties not only make “Corona Dry” cover more thoroughly, but 
cause it to adhere to the foliage longer. 
One pound of “Corona Dry” will do the work of three pounds of paste and do it better. 
It can be kept indefinitely — will not freeze, dry out, cake or lose its strength. 
“Corona Dry” contains no water, therefore there is no shrinkage, seepage or evaporation. 
It is pure, containing nothing but Lead Oxide and Arsenic Oxide. Every package contains full net weight. 
BEST FOR POTATO BUGS 
Superior to Paris Green because it covers the plant much more thoroughly. You can do the work twice as fast. It gets under the 
leaves better and kills the hidden bugs. Rain does not wash it off easily. “Corona Dry” is applied in dry dust form with a Hand Duster. 
The work can be done at any time of day. Keep it on hand. Will not lose strength. Absolutely safe to use. 
Corona Dry” kills Corn Ear Worms, Currant Worms and dozens of other pests.

Practical Hints on Spraying 
1 imeliness and thoroughness are the watchwords of success. Every leaf and 
every fruit should be covered all over. A tree or vine cannot be covered by 
spraying from one side only. 
Use nozzles with small discs so that the spray will issue in a fine mist and float 
through the foliage. There is no evidence that a coarse driving spray applied at 
very high pressure is more effective than a mist spray. 
Always clean out the spray tank, hose and nozzle after using. Drain the tank and 
wash out all parts with clean water. , 
Do not spray by the calendar. Insects and diseases vary with the season. Watch 
the development of the plants and make applications accordingly, always bearing in 
mind that new leaves have no spray material on them and may be destroyed 
at any time. 
A little spraying is a dangerous thing—bugs work all summer and so must men. 
CORONA BORDEAUX MIXTURE—DRY 
Corona Bordeaux Mixture Dry is the result of extensive experiments to retain the values of the freshly prepared sub¬ 
stance to the fullest extent. Although we do not claim for our product the full fungicidal and stimulating values of a 
freshly prepared rfiixture, you will note, in comparing our product with other proprietary bordeaux, that we have retained 
more of the intense greenish-blue color of the freshly prepared mixture, and its practical use in the field has proven that 
we have been very successful in preserving the fungicidal and stimulating values as well. In general, it will be found to 
be very satisfactory, much more so than any prepared dry bordeaux ever before manufactured and can be substituted in 
our regular schedule as noted above.

Dusting 
The direct application of fungicide and insecticide in the powder form is becoming popular in some sections. 
“Corona Dry ” is peculiarly adapted to this method of treatment on account of its extreme fineness. It is very significant 
that “ Corona Dry ” has been employed by experimentalists in practically all dusting experiments to date.
