SPRAY MATERIAL 
Cor 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 I 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.

the Oil Emulsion. LIME SULPHUR is the best for control of the disease

same amount.
