Mycronized Copper for Botrytis Control 
The enthusiastic reports w2 have had on control of botrytis on 
Lilies with the new Micronized Copper spray are most gratifying. 
This is good news to Lily lovers who’ve been fighting a losing battle 
with this bothersome disease which destroys the lower leaves of 
Lilies and sometimes entire stems during wet humid weather. This 
new spray, developed here in the Northwest, where millions of 
Lilies are grown, has proven almost 100% control. During the 
past year extensive experiments and tests have improved the spray 
still further, making it stick better and stay in solution more 
completely. 
In spite of some reports to the contrary, botrytis is not necessarily 
fatal to Lilies even if it almost completely destroys the foliage. 
The blight does not attack the bulb itself and is not carried by the 
bulb. Repeated tests have proven that plants infected one season 
may be perfectly free the next but loss of foliage during the growing 
season may weaken the bulb and threaten its survival. If your 
Lilies suffer an attack of botrytis, don’t destroy them. They may 
be fine next summer. BUT be prepared to promptly combat the 
disease the moment it should appear another year. 
Micronized Copper, unlike the usually used Bordeaux, will not 
burn even the tenderest seedlings. It adheres even through heavy 
rains, keep well in mixture and is far more easily cleaned out 
of the sprayer. In fact, it seems to be the answer to the Lily lover's 
prayer. Mr. Kline uses it exclusively on his large plantings of nearly 
200 yarieties of Lilies and recommends it 100%. 
The new improved Micronized Copper, mixed with water and a 
spreader known as 101 Spreader, is all you need but be sure to have 
them on hand to use at once should botrytis show up. A delay of 
even a few hours makes a great difference in successfully combating 
the disease. 
We offer this spray combination in two sizes, as follows: 
Four pounds of Micronized Copper and one pint One pound of Micronized Copper and four ounces 
of 101 Spreader (enough to make 100 gallons of 5 of 101 Spreader (enough to make 25 gallons), LZ 75

If desirable you may add Nicotine Sulphate (Blackleaf 40) to control aphids 
at the same time, one ounce to 25 gallons. Both the Copper and Spreader 
keep perfectly so if you do not use it all this season you will be ready for 
next year.

So many customers have addressed me as Miss Ware that I’m constrained to 
introduce myself. Many of you have commented on having read some of the 
more than five hundred garden articles from my pen published in a score of 
magazines during the past twenty years. Gardening has been my hobby 
for more than forty years. It has found me working with plants in back- 
yard gardens from coast to coast in nine different states. Only during the 
past two years since taking over Miss Clark’s Lily business have my interests 
been in the commercial end of horticulture. 
During all these years I’ve experimented with countless varieties and species 
of plants. I’ve endured the same heart breaking disappointments you have 
when cherished plants and bulbs failed. I’ve enjoyed the same thrills as you 
when lady luck smiled on my efforts. During the past two decades it has been 
my privilege to travel coast to coast nine times, visiting gardens and nurseries 
in forty states, gathering first-hand information which makes it possible for 
me to understand your problems, no matter where your garden. 
All of which permits me to prepare this catalog with thoughts of your prob- 
lems in mind. It is your catalog, dedicated to helping you succeed with the 
garden jewels herein offered. 
| wish | could visit your gardens, every one of them. But life is too short 
and you are keeping me too busy with the Lilies. However, | wish you the best 
of success with your gardens and your Lilies. They will succeed for you if 
you will seek to understand them.
