“ORCHARD BRAND” INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 
It Is not necessary to advance arguments as to the necessity of spraying trees. The fruit 
growers of Georgia have found from the experience of the last few years that spraying is as 
necessary as cultivation or pruning. The fall and winter spraying with Lime Sulphur Solution 
not only keeps the trees clean from the San Jose Scale, but insures a proper preservation of 
the buds through the dormant period. 
The spring spraying with a combined fungicide and insecticide protects the new-formed 
fruit and foliage from Brown Rot, Scab and Curcuiio. 
The fact that buyers of fruit desire only that which lias been sprayed, and will frequently 
refuse to buy unsprayed fruit, or if they do purchase it, it is at less money than they are 
willing to pay for sprayed fruit, further emphasizes the necessity of spraying. 
We desire by this circular to bring to the attention of our customers the necessity of pur¬ 
chasing proper materials and to furnish directions as to the time of application. 
For a number of years we have purchased all of our spraying materials from the TIIOMSEN 
CHEMICAL COMPANY of Baltimore, Md., and, although we have tried other materials at 
various times, our experience has led us to rely upon those manufactured by the THOMSEN 
CHEMICAL COMPANY of Baltimore as the most uniform and satisfactory products available 
in the market. They are sold under the term of “ORCHARD BRAND” SPRAYING MATERIALS.

“ORCHARD BRAND'* SOLUBLE OIL. 
This is a remedy for scale insects and is recommended for fall and winter treatment of 
apple and pear trees. Its use on peach trees is not recommended. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” SOLUBLE OIL is soluble in water in any proportion and in any kind 
of water. It should be used while the trees are dormant at any time, after the leaves have been 
off for 10 days or two weeks, when the weather is not cold enough to freeze the material on 
the trees before it dries. 
Spraying should be thorough in order to cover the trunk, all the branches and twigs, and 
in order to do this growers should use a pump which will give a pressure of not less than 75 
pounds, and results will be more satisfactory if the pressure is as high as 125 to 150 pounds, 
which can be easily secured with a good pump and a proper nozzle. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” SOLUBLE OIL is one of the very best scale remedies in the market, 
and growers can feel absolutely assured that a thorough application will kill all the scale. 
Directions: Dilute one gallon of “ORCHARD BRAND” SOLUBLE OIL with 15 gallons of 
cold water, stir thoroughly, and the material is then ready for use. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” SOLUBLE OIL will be found the most satisfactory treatment for all 
lawn shrubbery and hedges that are affected with scale insects, as it does not stain or discolor 
the trees or plants, but leaves the bark in a smooth, glossy condition. Any sulphur compound 
would leave lawn shrubbery In an unsightly condition, and Is therefore undesirable. 
* ORCHARD BRAND*' LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION. 
This is a concentrated, ready-prepared lime sulphur solution, and is unquestionably the best 
fall, winter and early spring treatment for peach and plum trees, and Is also recommended as 
the best spring treatment for apple or pear trees unless the scale incrustation is very bad, in 
which case the SOLUBLE OIL should be used. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION tests 33 to 34° Be., which insures the 
highest sulphur contents possible. It is free from sediment or impurities and sprays water free. 
After the foliage on peaches or plums has been down for 10 days or two weeks the trees 
should be thoroughly sprayed. Growers will find it an advantage to spray peach trees in the 
fall and again in the spring. A thorough spraying of this material not only controls the San 
Jose Scale, but protects the leaf and fruit buds in the winter and prevents leaf curl in early 
spring, thus enabling the trees to start a full and rapid spring growth of perfect foliage. 
Directions: Dilute one gallon of “ORCHARD BRAND” LIME SULPHUR ‘'SOLUTION with 
10 gallons of cold water and stir thoroughly. Spray with a pressure of not less than 75 pounds, 
preferably with 100 pounds or over.

“ORCHARD BRAND** ARSENATE OF LEAD. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” ARSENATE OF LEAD is guaranteed to contain not less than 15 
per cent. Arsenic Oxide, and not to exceed 50 per cent, of water. It is smooth in mechanical 
condition, breaks up readily, and is held in good suspension in water. 
ARSENATE OF LEAD is the only satisfactory remedy for Curcuiio on apples. The spray¬ 
ing should be done after the petals of the bloom fall and before the calyx closes—a period of 
about 10 days. 
The most successful growers prefer to spray twice during this period, for the reason that 
in order to make the spraying thoroughly effective the poison must be lodged in and at the 
base of the calyx cup, and all of these cups are not in proper condition to receive the poison 
effectively at the same time. Therefore, we would recommend that the first spraying take place 
from four to six days after the petals of the bloom have fallen, and the second spraving two 
or three days later. Experience has shown that the cost of the second spraying is more than 
paid for in the additional percentage of perfect picked fruit. 
The guaranteed quality of ARSENATE OF LEAD as above stated complies fully with the 
requirements of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for all the lead it purchases. This should 
be sufficient evidence for the grower that it is the proper chemical standard to insure the best 
results. 
Directions: For apple and pear trees use one ounce to a gallon of water. For peaches or 
plums use about two pounds to 50 gallons of water. 
To prepare for use take the desired quantity and add water slowly while rubbing to a thin 
paste before adding to the volume of water.
