SPRAY MATERIAL 
for Fruit Trees, Roses and Plants 
Good Spray material is almost as important as the plants, as many plants will not 
survive the attacks of insects. Therefore, a good spray is necessary once in a while. 
The insecticides that I list here 1 think are the best as to quality and effectiveness. 
Kleenup Ready Mix (Oil Emulsion) Dormant Spray 
One of the best dormant sprays: for scale, Green Aphis and Peach Leaf Roller. Apply in 
spring just before buds burst. Use 3 to 4 gallons to 100 gallons water. 
1. Will not freeze in storage and thus eliminates the dangers of broken emulsions. 
2. Is 99% active. 
3. Concentration requires less material per 100 gallons of spray. 
4. Deposits a heavy, uniform oil film with a water drip-off. 
5. Compatible with practically all other insecticides. 
6. Easily handled under all weather conditions. 
7. Superior wetting, spreading and penetrating qualities. 
8. Mixes with soft or hard waters. 
9. Forms a stable emulsion in the tank.

same amount.
