The best column.? for porches, pergolas or interior use. 
diluting with cold water to spraying 
strength. The strength to use depends 
upon the plant to he sprayed. Use one 
gallon of the stock solution to from ten 
to twenty gallons of water. 
A superior kerosene emulsion may be 
made by using whale-oil soap in place of 
the common laundry soap, since the 
whale-oil soap has some special insecti¬ 
cidal properties of its own. 
Second — Whale-oil Soap: This is an 
excellent spray for plant-lice and is very 
easily prepared needing only to be dis¬ 
solved. It may be applied in summer or 
winter. When used in winter at the 
strength for a dormant spray, it should 
be applied wdiile hot, as it tends to 
jellify when cold. Used very strong 
wdiile the trees are dormant, it is a good 
spray for the San Jose scale. For this 
purpose it should be put on late in 
winter, as there is less danger at that 
time of its injuring fruit buds, than early < 
in the season. 
For a summer spray, dissolve one 
pound of whale-oil soap in five gallons : 
of water. 
For use in winter when the trees are i 
dormant, dissolve two pounds of wdiale- > 
oil soap in one gallon of water. i 
d hird — I'obacco: A decoction of | 
tobacco made by steeping the stems is : 
useful against plant lice. Dilute the i 
decoction till the color of strong tea and : 
apply as a spray. Tobacco dust worked 
into the ground around the tree is useful 
for w^oolly aphis. 
Fourth—Pyrethrum or insect powder: 
I'his material is madefrom the powdered 
flowers of a plant. It is expensive and 
loses strength very rapidly on exposure 
to the air. It should he purchased only 
in tight packages. It may he used as a 
spray at the rate of one ounce to two 
gallons of w'ater, or may he dusted on the 
infested plant. It kills by contact. 
Fifth—Lime Sulphur Wash: One uni¬ 
versal application of this spray would be 
of inestimable value to the horticulture 
of Indiana. It is the best and cheapest 
remedy for San Jose scale. It is caustic | 
in its action, and must be used wdien the 
trees are dormant, after the leaves are 
ofF in the fall, or before the buds open 
in the spring. The formula is: 
Fifteen pounds flowers of sulphur. 
Twenty pounds stone lime. 
Fifty gallons of water. 
By using at first a small quantity of 
water, mix fifteen pounds flow'ers of 
sulphur into a thin paste. Slake twenty ;
