. INSECTICIDES and FUNGICIDES 
PROPYLENE DICHLORIDE 
Propylene Dichloride for control of peach 
tree borers. Propylene Dichloride is quite 
similar to Ethylene Dichloride, which it should 
replace as it is much cheaper, requiring only 
half as much to treat a given number of trees. 
Less likely to injure young trees and more 
quickly applied than most other borer controls. 
In case you are unable to apply a borer 
control at proper time (late September in 
Memphis area) be sure to use this as it is 
entirely effective even in mid-winter. 
Postpaid, pt. (treats 16 full grown trees) 
$1.00; qt. $1.75; gal. $4.00 (treats 128 trees). 
PARADOW 
Paradow (pure paradichlorobenzene) is a 
white crystalline substance which vaporizes 
slowly at ordinary temperatures. The gas 
given off is approximately five times heavier 
than air and its odor resembles that of 
naphthalene. The gas is harmless to man, 
but decidedly poisonous to many insects when 
they are exposed to it for a considerable 
period of time. Time of application, October 
lst to November 30th. It can also be used in 
the spring, early in March. Paradow is recom- 
mended for use on trees 6 years old and over. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. 
$2.85; 25 lbs. $6.50. 
FRUIT SPRAY MIX 
GENERAL PURPOSE 
A properly balanced mixture of lead arse- 
nate, lime, zinc sulphate, wettable sulphur, 
and a sticking and spreading agent, designed 
to give the small orchardist, when used in 
recommended dosage of 14 lbs. per 100 gal. 
of water, a complete balanced and buffered 
spray for peaches without the bother of mixing 
and buying many separate ingredients. 
Postpaid, 2 lbs. 70c; 5 lbs. $1.45. 
GRAFTING WAX 
It is used for grafting, budding, top working, 
etc., of all kinds of fruit, ornamental trees,

ZINC-SULPHATE 
Recommended for use as a spray on 
peaches to control Bacterial Leaf Spot and to 
prevent arsenical injury to peach foliage. Use 
it in each of the summer sprays on peaches, 
beginning with the petal fall spray at the rate 
of 2 pounds to each 50 gallons. If you are 
using as much as 4 pounds of Hydrated Lime 
to 50 gallons of water in your regular ma- 
terial, additional lime is not necessary; other- 
wise, add 2 pounds Hydrated Lime to each 50 
gallons.

SOY BEAN FLOUR SPREADER 
A most excellent spreader and sticker pro- 
duced by the farmer. Compatible with all 
summer sprays. Being a vegetable product it 
does not change the spray material chemical- 
ly in the least. Orchardists have not used a 
spreader consistently in the past, but now 
there is no reason to leave out this valuable 
asset to the spray program. It prevents exces- 
sive run off of the material you want to re- 
main on the fruit and leaves, giving a uniform, 
even, heavy film of the fungicides and insecti- 
cides at almost no cost. Use Y% pound per 
50 gallons of spray.

DRITOMIC SULFUR 
Used for the control of Brown Rot and 
Peach Scab on small fruits; also Powdery 
Mildew, Black Spot, certain rusts and other 
sulfur-responding fungi on roses, perennials 
and ornamental shrubs. Protection against 
brown rot is possible only if spraying or dust- 
ing is done ahead of infection—after infection 
takes place the damage is done. Spraying 
or dusting must be kept thoroughly covered 
with a fungicide right up to harvest. The dis- 
ease is ever present, and the first steps toward 
control should be eradication of the most 
harmful sources of carry-over. Five pounds 
of Dritomic Sulfur is sufficient to make 100 
gallons of spray. Complete directions on each 
package. 
Postpaid, 5-lb. bag $1.00. 
SULFORON 
Instantly Wettable Micro-Fine Sulfur. Other 
things being equal, the finer sulfur is, the 
more effective it is. Sulforon produced by a 
special process has an average particle size 
of about 5,000 mesh. The best buy in spray- 
ing and dusting sulfur for control of many 
diseases such as apple and peach scab, 
brown rot of peaches, plums and other stone 
fruits; powdery mildew of various plants, 
carnation and snapdragon rust and black spot 
on roses. Use everywhere. Wettable Sulfur 
is recommended in the care of orchards. Also 
unexcelled for control of mildew, rust and 
red spider on roses, other flowering plants 
and shrubs, either as a dust or spray. Use 
3 to 4 pounds to 50 gallons water. 
Postpaid, 6 lbs. $1.15. 
MIKE WETTABLE SULPHUR 
A trade name for the new Microscopic extra 
fine prepared sulphur. Mixes readily with 
water in combination with Lime, Arsenate of 
Lead, etc. Mike Sulphur is one of the finest 
and best materials of its kind, as it really 
stays in suspension and therefore gives the 
needed results.

DRY LIME SULPHUR

uct when dissolved in water. For dormant

50 gallons of water.

LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION 
A powerful fungicide as well as being a 
contact insecticide. Used in heavy concentra- 
tions of 1 gallon to 8 gallons of water in the 
dormant season, it will effectively control 
San Jose and several other of the less re- 
sistant scale insects. For the dormant spray- 
ing of peaches it will control the leaf curl 
(fungus disease) of peach and scale insects 
at the same time. 
Postpaid, gal. $1.35. 
OIL EMULSION 
For a dormant spray, Oil Emulsion provides 
the cheapest, most effective and complete con- 
trol of scale insects, aphis and thrips that 
winter over on trees. For scale control on all 
fruit trees, use 214% gallons of Oil Emulsion 
to 97 gallons of water, slightly more if scale 
infestation is heavy, If your water is ex- 
tremely hard, 4 pounds Bordeaux added to 
each 50 gallons of water, before adding the 
oil, will prevent oil from curdling. To get 
best results, every part of the tree must be 
completely covered. Spray in fall, after 
leaves and fruit are off, or in spring before 
buds swell. To control peach leaf curl and 
scale, combine Oil Emulsion with prepared 
Bordeaux Mixture or homemade Bordeaux.
