If you prefer to spray your flowers and 
other garden plants, there are modern 
multi-purpose garden spray sets and rose 
spray kits you can use, These consist of 
several bottles, each containing one of the 
modern insecticides or fungicides. You 
combine them in your sprayer according 
to the directions and you get multi-purpose 
control of both insects and fungus di- 
seases. 
In one such spray set, for example, you 
will find a bottle of modern insecticide 
spray, a bottle of the reliable older-type 
oil spray, and a bottle of copper fungicide 
spray for powdery mildew. In another 
spray set you'll find a bottle containing 
the newest of garden insecticides—lindane, 
and a bottle of a recently-developed fun- 
gus spray that has been doing wonders in 
controlling powdery mildew, rose rust and 
peach leaf curl. In addition, this particular 
spray set contains one of the new-type 
garden hose sprayers that is designed to 
make your garden spraying as easy as 
watering. You just connect the sprayer to 
the end of the garden hose and turn on 
the water to spray.
