‘ORCHARD BRAND” BORDEAUX MIXTURE* 
This is a prepared Bordeaux Mixture in paste form for use on apple and pear trees, also 
on vegetables. Growers will tind it an advantage to purchase the ready-prepared material 
rather than to attempt making their own mixture. It is smooth and uniform in composition, 
Unis avoiding the uncertainty always attendant upon the home-made spray mixture. 
The use of this material prevents the development of fungus spores, thus enabling the 
proper growth of foliage. Use 10 to 12 pounds to 50 gallons cold water.

“ORCHARD BRAND” BORDEAUX ARSENATE OF LEAD MIXTURE. 
This is a combination of “ORCHARD BRAND” BORDEAUX MIXTURE and “ORCHARD 
BRAND” ARSENATE OF LEAD, and is recommended where it is desirable to use an insecticide 
and fungicide at the same time. Use 10 to 12 pounds to 50 gallons cold water. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” ATOMIC SULPHUR. 
This is a new fungicide which has been thoroughly tested out during the past season on 
both apples and peaches. The tests made on peaches in Georgia are reported as very satisfac¬ 
tory by our State Entomologist, and reports from experiments conducted in other States are 
equally satisfactory. 
This preparation has a great advantage over Bordeaux Mixture, as it does not scar or 
blemish the fruit nor burn the leaves or newly-formed buds. 
The absence of injury to foliage is of the most vital importance to fruit growers, and 
especially peach growers. 
“ORCHARD BRAND” ATOMIC SULPHUR is sulphur in its purest form treated by a 
process which converts it into a pastey mass and renders it capable of being readily mixed with 
water, imparting to the material a peculiarly adhesive property. It also has a further great 
advantage in that it does not stain or discolor the fruit. 
We therefore think it will be found preferable to the self-boiled lime-sulphur solution. 
As leaf-eating insects are always present in the orchard, ARSENATE OF LEAD is combined 
with ATOMIC SULPHUR in order that it may act as a complete fungicide and insecticide. 
Directions: Use 10 or 12 pounds of ATOMIC SULPHUR to 50 gallons of cold water. Water 
should be added to the material slowly while being stirred in order to get the material in the 
condition of a thin, sloppy paste before it is added to the volume of water. 
For those who desire to use the self-boiled lime-sulphur solution in the control of Brown 
Rot on peaches, we give the formula and directions as furnished by the Georgia State Board of 
Entomology. 
Formula. —Eight pounds of sulphur, either Flour or Flowers, and eight pounds of good fresh 
lime to 50 gallons of water. Add two pounds of Arsenate of Lead. 
Directions for Preparing.—Make the sulphur into a thin paste, and then add the lime to the 
sulphur paste mass, and add water from time to time as the lime slakes, in order to keep the 
mixture from becoming too thick to stir well. The boiling process should be permitted to con¬ 
tinue until the lime is all slaked, which will be 15 or 20 minutes, when it should be checked by 
the addition of cold water. 
The Arsenate of Lead should be rubbed into a thin paste by adding water slowly while stir¬ 
ring with a paddle until it is worked into a thin, sloppy paste, and should be added to the 
dilute lime-sulphur solution the last thing before spraying. 
Two pounds of Arsenate of Lead should be used to a 50-gallon batch of the self-boiled lime- 
sulphur solution, added the last thing before spraying and thoroughly stirred. 
Times for Spraying— Spray first about the time the Calcyes (or shucks, not the colored 
petals) are shedding with Arsenate of Lead, using two pounds with three pounds of Lime to 
TO gallons of water. 
Make a second application three'weeks later, using the self-boiled lime-sulphur and Arsenate 
of Lead (eight pounds of lime, eight pounds of sulphur, two pounds of Arsenate of Lead to 50 
gallons of water).* 
Make third application about four weeks after the second, using the self-boiled lime-sulphur 
solution alone, without the Arsenate of Lead. 
If the Curculio is numerous and the trees are hardy, and no injury has resulted from the 
application already made, Arsenate of Lead may be added to the self-boiled lime-sulphur for the 
third spraying. 
While it is probable that three sprayings will give the best results, good results may be 
obtained from two applications, and in this case make the first application as calcyes or shucks 
are shedding, using the self-boiled lime-sulphur solution and Arsenate of Lead, and make the 
second application four weeks later, using the same mixture.
