Micronized Copper 
for Botrytis Control 
If you’ve not tried this new spray (we intro- 
duced it in ‘46) for the control of this bother- 
some lily disease you should obtain a supply 
at once. Botrytis destroys the lower leaves of 
lilies and sometimes entire stems during 
humid weather. Micronized Copper with 101 
Spreader was developed here in the North- 
west where millions of lilies are grown and 
has proven almost 100% control. Unlike the 
commonly used bordeaux, it will not burn the 
tenderest seedlings. It adheres even through 
heavy rains, keeps well in mixture and is 
very easy to clean out of your sprayer. 
Botrytis, despite reports to the contrary, is 
not necessarily fatal to lilies. It may destroy 
the foliage but it does not attack the bulb, 
nor is it carried by the bulb and it does not 
winter over in the soil. Repeated tests have 
proven that plantings affected one season 
may be entirely healthy the next but loss of 
the foliage may weaken the bulb and threaten 
its survival. So be prepared to promptly 
combat botrytis when it first puts in its ap- 
pearance. This spray is preventative rather 
than curative. 
This new improved Micronized Copper and 
Spreader is all you need to combat botrytis 
but be sure you have it on hand BEFORE 
it is needed. A delay of but a few hours can 
make a great difference in results when it is 
needed. 
This Micronized Copper and Spreader can 
also be used wherever you would use the old 
fashioned bordeaux and with much better 
results. It does not leave unsightly stains on 
foliage like the latter. 
We offer this spray combination in two sizes 
as follows: 
TRIAL SIZE 
One pound of Micronized Copper and four 
ounces of the Spreader (enough to make 
25 gallons), shipped postpaid for. .$2.75 
ECONOMY SIZE 
Four pounds of Micronized Copper and 
one pint of the Spreader (enough for 100 
gallons), Express Collect ........ $4.25 
{f desirable you may add nicotine sulphate 
(Blackleaf 40) to control aphids at the same 
time at the rate on an ounce to 25 gallons. 
Aphids are the spreaders of lily mosaic and 
should definitely be controlled wherever lilies 
are grown. Both Copper and Spreader keep 
perfectly, so if you do not use it all this 
season you will be ready for next year. 















We appreciate these! 
Miss M. A., Atlanta, Ga. “My package arrived 
today and I am very much pleased with my 
purchase. Your packing is just about perfect. 
H. M., Palo Alto, Calif., “Received my Lily 
bulbs a few days ago and have never received 
nicer bulbs from anywhere, and so perfectly 
packed.”’ 
L. B. G., Oakland, Calif., ““Your bulbs are the 
finest we ever had—they came so well packed 
and I like the way you sent them, as they are 
dug, instead of all in one order.” 
If you think Lilies may be difficult— 
Mrs. L. N. L., Ellicott City, Maryland, writes, 
“But this year, without servants, my little gar- 
den had to look after itself to a large extent 
and I found out the value of Lilies.” 
If you make them happy, they stay with you 
for many years. Who could ask for more en- 
trancing guests? 
Init Kaempferi---RAINBOW IRIS 
I’ve never been able to understand why more gardens do not use these magnificent Iris more 
freely. They offer, without question, one of the most gorgeous splashes of color in early sum- 
mer. Give them a spot that can be kept moist from early spring until after blooming. Avoid 
all lime in the soil and feed sparingly with liquid manure as buds begin to form. They reward 
you handsomely with huge blooms beautifully held above graceful foliage. Plant in masses or 
borders, group them around your pool and you will have pictures long to remember. These va- 
rieties are an extra fine strain, far superior to those commonly offered. They come from the 
private garden of a west coast collector. Some customers have inquired if these Iris ever had 
Japanese names so I’m adding them. Personally I’ve always disliked these practically un- 
pronounceable names and believe most home gardens feel the same. 
BLUE POOLS-—1 700-Chitose-no-homare. A 
very large six petaled double bloom, deep 
ultra-marine blue. One of the handsomest 
of all. 
BLUE GLORY-1703-Hisakata. Immense 
double midnight blue with gold highlights. 
Very late flowering. Gorgeous and fast grow- 
ing. 
CRIMSON GLOW-1712-Ten-no-hagaromo. 
A very large single, rich glowing crimson, one 
of the reddest of all. Truly spectacular. 
DEEP SHADOWS-1715-Karaginu. A big 10 
inch flower, royal purple with gold highlights. 
One of the finest doubles in this color.

fully crimped. A large double exquisitely 
formed. 
“Iris Kaempferi takes the stage with brazen 
flourish of trumpets; there is nothing like it 
in the garden for arrogance, for subtlety, for 
ohviousness, for sheer insolence of beauty.” 
-Reginald Farrer,in “Alpines and Bog-Plants.” 
PICOTEE-1 732—Hana-gatami. A semi-double 
white with light red or pink border. Charm-
