and remedy, but each time you spray with 
this material the plants are stimulated to 
better growth and foliage and consequently 
unusually fine blooms. %pt. 75c; pt. $1.25;

low Cuprocide, you do not load your plants . 
with inactive material that keeps out the 
light and interferes with growth. Every 
pound you put in your tank is there to fight 
the blight. Better than Bordeaux. A state 
experiment station scientist, on a fellow- 
ship supported by Rohm & Haas Company, 
has thoroughly demonstrated that Yellow 
Cuprocide is superior to Bordeaux in con- 
tinued fungicidal activity. Even on crops 
which can stand Bordeaux you will be 
ahead with Yellow Cuprocide. On Bor-
