healthy and require attention, call upon us and we will be glad to advise as to the best of our ability. 
SPRAYING—We are equipped with a barrel spray outfit and can spray your fruit and shade trees. All fruit trees 
require one or two sprayings if you expect to have fruit free from worms and scab. Local people get in touch with us 
and we will advise as to the best time to spray. Leaf rollers and aphis are very bad on American Elm and will injure 
the trees if not controlled. Trees should be sprayed early, just after the leaves open and again later. Keep your trees 
healthy.
