SCALECIDE. 
The B. G. Pratt Company, 50 Church Street, New York, 
are emphasizing in a neat little circular the advantages of 
fall spraying with scalecide. There is no doubt that 
Messrs. Pratt & Company with this convenient wash 
are doing much towards encouraging fruit growers to fight 
the San Jose scale. Convenience and efficiency are equally 
important factors in the introduction and use of any 
insecticide. 
Mr. S. R. Fergus, of the Farmers Nursery Company, Troy, 
Ohio, after visiting nurserymen at Geneva and Dansville, 
called at the office of the National Nurseryman. On his 
return homeward he will stop at Painesville, and other 
nursery points. 
Fall business with us is good. Prices are better than they 
have been for several years. Stock of apple scarce.
