ive as a preventative where the plants are 
likely to be infested by plant lice, or cu¬ 
cumber beetles, squash bugs, etc. Can be 
used in practically any quantity directly on 
the foliage without injury. 
Nicotine Extract —This comes in va¬ 
rious patented, commercial preparations 
which usually contain some oils besides the 
nicotine, making a more protective emul¬ 
sion; if used thoroughly and in time they 
are very effective. One part of the prepa¬ 
ration is usually diluted with twenty to 
forty parts water. Always follow direc¬ 
tions on containers carefully. 
Arsenate of Lead — Comes usually in a 
thick, creamy paste and can be diluted with 
water and sprayed. Or the powdered ma¬ 
terials for making — only two—may be 
bought. Has the advantage over Paris 
green that it will not injure the foliage and 
will stay on much longer. Should he 
sprayed on several hours before a rain, to 
give it time to set, when it will not wash 
off. 
Paris Green — A standard insecticide for 
many purposes. Can be used either in a 
spray or dry, but should be diluted in the 
former case with water and in the second 
with plaster of Paris. It sometimes is 
used pure on potatoes, hut must be blown 
on with a machine made for the purpose, 
in such small amounts that it cannot be 
seen. 
Bordeaux Mixture —The standard pre¬ 
ventative for blights and fungous diseases. 
Dilute according to directions and spray 
thoroughly. Arsenate of lead or Paris 
green may be added and sprayed on at the 
same time. Where it is desirable not to 
discolor the foliage such as on ornamental 
plants, or ripening fruit, use ammoniacal 
copper carbonate solution instead of Bor¬ 
deaux. (See Home-Made Sprays for di¬ 
rections for making it.) 
Lime Sulphur Wash — Is used as a win¬ 
ter spray for San Jose and in a much 
weaker solution as a summer spray for 
rust. Arsenate of lead or Paris green may 
he used with it. 
Hellebore — Is used for currant worms 
or in other places where it is not desirable 
to use Paris green. It is dusted on dry or 
sprayed. 
Kerosene Emulsion — This is a very safe 
and effective insecticide for sucking in¬ 
sects, such as plant lice and aphids, mealy 
hugs, cabbage worms, young squash bugs, 
and so forth, and scale. (See Home-made 
Sprays.) 
Kerosene Emulsion — Thoroughly dis¬ 
solve p2 lb. strong soap in a quart or so of 
hot water. Add this to 1 gal. water and 2 
gals, kerosene, — or in these proportions. 
(For small amounts use 2 cubic inches 
soap, 1 pt. water and 1 qt. kerosene.) 
Place in pail or tub and churn or pump 
until a thick, lathery cream results. This 
is the “stock” solution. In using, dilute 
with 5 to 15 parts water — on dormant

In the first place trees are an asset, they 
give an increased money value to your prop¬ 
erty. No one denies that. 
While you are taking care of your other 
assets, why neglect your tree assets? 
On the other hand if it pays to care for your 
trees at all, it pays to have them cared for 
right. 
The mere pruning and spraying of them is 
not all there is to it, not by a good deal. Just 
how much there is to it and just how impor¬ 
tant that much is; we tell plainly enough in 
our booklet called — “Trees the Care They 
Should Have.” It both tells plainly and 
shows plainly.
