Water well in dry weather—always early in the morning. Do 
not wet the foliage while watering. 
Keep the soil well stirred during growing season so as to have 
a dust mulch, to prevent drying out. 
It is important to spray roses regularly with Tri-Ogen to pro¬ 
tect against black spot and mildew as well as insect pests. Start 
to spray as soon as the leaves unfold in early spring. Continue 
spraying at regular intervals throughout the season until heavy 
frosts. 
It has been found where TRI-OGEN is sprayed regularly from 
early spring until the heavy frosts of autumn, the mortality of 
the plants from winter-kill has been reduced to a minimum.

soap. To one gallon of water use 2 teaspoonfuls fish oil soap
