pounds of the paste or 2 pounds of powder to 50 
gallons of water. Use for the control of flea 
beetle on grape, caterpillar on pecan, biting and 
chewing insects on shade trees, shrubs, etc., and 
for tent caterpillar on evergreens. Also, use as 
spray for culculio and codling moth on fruit trees. 
Nicotine Solution—This may be bought in con- 
centrated form at almost any drug store, usually 
under the name of “Black Leaf 40.” In large 
quantities, use approximately %4 pint to 100 gal- 
lons of water, or in small quantities, use about 1 
ounce to 8 gallons of water. In making the spray 
mix the nicotine with very heavy suds, using lye 
soap or strong laundry soap for the suds, as this 
will cause the spray to adhere and spread much 
better. This is very easily prepared at home and 
is an excellent spray for control of aphis on ap- 
ple, plum, roses, etc., and for use in ridding plants 
of red spider. 
Lime Sulphur Solution—One of the most impor- 
tant contact sprays we have, being one of the 
most effective for treatment for San Jose scale 
while trees are dormant. If commercial Lime Sul- 
phur is used, it should be used 2 pounds to 8 or 10 
gallons of water for the winter spraying, while 
for summer the dilution should be approximately 
1 pound to 8 or 10 gallons of water. This spray is 
excellent for use while trees are dormant as it 
helps to keep them in healthy state and is particu- 
larly beneficial in the control of scale. 
Bordeaux Mixture—This is easily secured in 
prepared form at almost any drug store, and 
usually directions for preparation and dilution are 
given. This is particularly useful in control of 
mildew and all fungus diseases, such as brown rot 
on peach and apple, black rot in grape, or mildew 
on roses, etc. 
All of these sprays may be used by the home 
owner, applying with large sprayer in orchard or 
vineyard where necessary, or knapsack sprayer for 
use where only a few trees need treatment, or 
even a small hand sprayer for use on small plants 
around the home. A small investment in equip- 
ment and materials may mean many dollars to 
you in your orchard or beauty to you in your 
home grounds. 3
