FOR THE PROTECTION OF TREES AND PLANTS 
DO WAX is a new wax emulsion which prevents excessive evaporation of 
moisture through leaves and bark and checks the wilting and drying of leaves 
after transplanting. While the film of wax is sufficient to prevent desiccation 
it does not seal the plant completely but allows the passage of gasses neces¬ 
sary to maintain life. 
We have used DO WAX at Del Amo Nurseries for more than a year and unhesi¬ 
tatingly recommend it to all nurserymen. It will reduce transplanting losses to 
a negligible factor at all phases in the growth of a plant from the seedling or 
cutting stage to large trees. In the summer of 1937 we successfully balled and 
transplanted several hundred Poplars and Oriental Sycamores in full leaf. 
In canning or potting "touchy" plants we have found DO WAX invaluable. 
PRINCIPAL USES 
After extensive field tests in conjunction with the Michigan State Experiment 
Station, leading nurseries and state highway commissions, the following uses 
for DO WAX were developed: 
1. Coating of deciduous evergreen, orna¬ 
mental and fruit nursery stock before 
storing or at the time of transplanting. 
2. Coating of full grown forest trees after 
transplanting. 
3. Protection and stimulation of backward, 
transplanted trees. 
4. Coating of trees and shrubs for success¬ 
ful transplanting during summer and 
fall. 
5. Prevention of summer sunscald on newly 
planted trees. 
6. Spraying of evergreen to prevent winter 
windburn and browning of foliage. 
7. Coating of evergreen cuttings to in¬ 
crease the "take" in propagation beds. 
8. Coating of cionwood for grafts before 
placing in storage or at the time of 
setting. 
9. Coating of annual and perennial plants 
before transplanting. 
10. Control of San Jose and oystershell 
scale under certain conditions. 
11. Coating of Christmas trees (susceptible 
varieties) to prevent needle fall. 
12. Coating of stems and foliage of large, 
cut chrysanthemums to retard wilting. 
DO WAX comes in the form of a white paste and can be applied with any type 
of spray equipment after mixing one gallon of DO WAX to 3 or 4 gallons of 
water. After drying, DOW AX is invisible on the foliage.
