How to Eradicate Red Spider on Evergreens 
During the last few years Red Spider has attacked most 
varieties of Evergreens, and must be dealt with in order 
to save the trees. The Red Spider is a very small red bug 
that is hardly discernible with the naked eye; if it is taken 
in time, it will not injure the tree. . 
There are two methods to combat them, one is by the 
use of common glue to the extent of five pounds to fifty 
gallons of water, saturating the tree thoroughly with this 
solution. The Spider will become encased and will not do 
any more damage. A second application may be neces- 
sary but not often. In order to get the best results, it 
should be put on with a spray pump that has considerable 
pressure—200 lb. pressure is required if the best results 
are obtained, but if a person hasn’t a spray pump, they 
can swish it on with a broom or window washer. The 
other is by the use of “Kolodust,” a powder which can be 
blown on with a hand sprayer and kills the insects out- 
right. If this cannot be obtained locally we can furnish 
it at the following prices: 1 lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
Sizes for Evergreens and Shade Trees 
The grades offered represent all trees measuring not 
less than the smallest number listed and over and up to 
but not including the largest number. For example, 18 
to 24 inch Evergreens include all trees measuring 18 inches 
and up to 24 inches, but a 2 ft. tree is included in the 24 
to 80 inch grade. Other sizes iikewise. 6 to 8 feet sizes 
in Shade Trees are the best to transplant. 
Our salesmen should remember that they represent the 
largest nursery concern west of Ohio, with a patronage of 
over 30,000 customers, who have learned that it pays to 
buy trees from a reliable concern which refuses to offer 
cheap or inferior stock to its planting customers. We, of 
course, have inferior grades, but we find a ready sale for 
them to jobbers and catalogue houses that get their busi- 
ness by making cheap prices. A customer buying from 
such places sends his money with the order and takes what 
he gets, pays his own express, and when the stock dies he 
must buy more. 
Remember, you get no more than you pay for, and ex- 
perience teaches that the Best is the Cheapest. You will 
be proud to deliver the class of stock sent out. 
SPECIAL NOTICE—Agents must make it clear to pur- 
chasers that Evergreens, Balled and Burlapped, will start 
to grow at once, but Balled Evergreens will dry out just 
as quickly as those not balled if not liberally watered and 
cultivated. The balling makes the growth sure but they 
must have continuous moisture until they grow roots down 
to moisture. All replacing on Evergreens done at one- 
half price. Evergreen must be planted without breaking 
ball and all Evergreens must be heavily mulched immedi- 
ately after planting. 
Remember that request for replacement must reach us 
before September 1st, following delivery.
