Special Notes 
ARSENIC OF LEAD, 1% lbs. to 25 gallons of water, will 
control all chewing insects, that is, those insects which 
eat leaves and foliage. Example: In early spring the 
web-worm appear on flowering Crabs, etc. Spray foliage 
with above mixture for control. 
In late June, spray all Junipers, Retinosporas and other 
plants and trees that generally are attacked with bag- 
worm. Spray all foliage with above mixture. 
In August, spray flowering Cherries, Dogwoods, Oaks 
and other trees that are attacked with Fall web-worm. 
Spray all foliage with above mixture. 
NICOTINE OR BLACK LEAF 40, ¥% pint to 50 gallons 
water (114 teaspoonfuls to one gallon) controls Aphis and 
several other sucking insects. For control of Red Spider, 
use high pressure of water, washing the plant clean. 
They are hard to control and kill otherwise. A spray 
mixture of 1 gal. (liquid form) Lime and Sulfur to 50 
gals. water controls Boxwood Wilt and at the same time 
generally kills the Red Spider. Boxwood Wilt is found 
on Boxwood branches that turn sickly in appearance and 
begin dying, sometimes killing the entire branch and 
eventually the whole plant. Use strong-pressure spray 
when applying control liquid, thoroughly soaking every 
leaf and all parts of stems and branches. 
BORDEAUX is considered one of the most efficient of the 
fungicides. Control of powdery-mildew, leaf-spot, and 
other fungi can be readily controlled by following in- 
structions carefully. For example: Powdery-mildew on 
the surface of lilac leaves. 
DORMANT OIL SPRAYS, applied on warm days during 
late winter, will control oyster-shell scale, scurfy scale 
and San Jose scale. 
BLACK LEAF 40, (4 pint) and C. P. O. (2 lbs.) to 25 gal. 
water, will control Lace-fly on Azaleas and Rhododen- 
drons. Lace-bug hatching occurs the latter part of May, 
spray just as hatching is about completed. Follow up 
during summer and early fall, when the second and 
possible third hatching occurs. Brush the leaves with 
hand and small fly will appear, letting you know that 
hatching has begun. 
PLANTS RESPOND TO CAREFUL FEEDING, and are 
handsome if care and attention is given them. The only 
chance they have is with your help. For general use, a 
complete fertilizer (4-8-12) should be applied to each 
plant. 
For Broad-leaf plants, such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, 
ete., a prepared fertilizer especially for Broad-leaf plants 
(7-7-5) or nearest to this should be used. 
WATERING CAREFULLY is very necessary during dry 
weather. Make certain that the water penetrates to the 
very base of roots, as top watering during a dry spell 
will only burn the plant badly. Water must reach the 
deepest roots. Drill holes between roots with a bar and 
place nozzle of hose in the hole, leaving there until the 
ground is completely wet.
