DIRECTIONS FOR DORMANT SPRAYING. 
As a scale remedy on all deciduous fruit trees, use E. T. S. at the rate of 
1C pounds to 50 gallons of cold water, or. if preferred, lime-sulphur solution 
at the rate of 1 gallon to 8 gallons of cold water. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING. 
H. T. S.—This material may be dissolved in a bucket and poured into, the 
spray tank, where small quantities are to be used. In large spraying opera¬ 
tions the tank may be partially filled with water after which the agitator 
should be started and the material poured slowly into the spray tank. The agita¬ 
tor should be run continuously while the tank is being filled and a few minutes 
thereafter in order to insure the dissolving and thorough mixing of all the 
material. 
Lime-Sulphur Solution.—This material is prepared for spraying by simply 
adding water at the rate of 8 gallons to 1 gallon of the solution, thoroughly 
stirring the diluted material before the spraying operation commences. 
GROWING PERIOD SPRAYING FOR PEACHES. 
For the control of curculio, scab and brown rot spray the trees as follows: 
(1) About ten days after the petals fall use 1£ pounds or 2 pounds of 
T. P. arsenate of lead paste, or if pound to 1 pound of powder, and add 3 
pounds of lime to each 50 gallons of water; 
(2) About three weeks later, or one month after the petals fall, spray 
the trees with atomic sulphur, 5 pounds to 50 gallons of water, adding to each 
batch 1A pounds of T. P. arsenate of lead paste or 3 pound of powder, and 
adding 3 pounds of lime to each 50 gallon batch; 
(3) About one month before the fruit ripens spray the trees with atomic 
sulphur, 5 pounds to 50 gallons of water. Poison should not be added at 
this time. 
GROWING PERIOD SPRAYING FOR APPLES. 
For the control of the codling moth, curculio, scab and leaf-spot, use 2 
pounds of standard arsenate of lead and 3 pounds of B. T. S. to each 50 
gallons of water. ( 1 A gallons of lime-sulphur solution may be substituted for 
the E. T. S. if preferred). 
Spray the trees as follows: 
(1) When the cluster buds open, just before blooming; (2) as soon as 
the petals fall and before the calyx lobes close; (3) three weeks later, (4) 
about ten weeks after the petals fall. 
GROWING PERIOD SPRAYING FOR POTATOES, TOMATOES, 
ASPARAGUS AND TOBACCO. 
For the control of potato beetle, asparagus beetle and tobacco worm, use 
powdered arsenite of zinc at the rate of 2 pounds of the powder to 50 
gallons of water per acre of plants treated. The first application should be 
made as soon as the insects appear and subsequent applications as required. 
For the control of blight and other fungous diseases on potatoes and 
tomatoes Bordeaux mixture should be used at the rate of 8 pounds to 50 gal¬ 
lons of water. This can be combined with the arsenite.
