Text Appearing After Image:
BLOCK OF BANNER PEACH TREES. FOUR MONTHS' GROWTH. Attention is directed to the fine and almost complete stand of trees, large, clean, and healthy foliage, straight and smooth bodies, large and thrifty growth. With such trees we hope to reach the greatest.possibilities in the nursery business. It is our aim to be strictly "up to date" in every respect. Try us and see. PARiS GREEN AND LONDON PURPLE.—Never use stronger than one quarter pound to 50 gallons of water. Slake thoroughly with hot water two pounds of lime and mix with the water. Be sure to have the lime well slaked before mixing-. SPRAYING APPLES.—For prevention of apple scab fungus on both leaves and fruit, spray with Bordeaux mixture before blossoms open. To destroy the aphis or plant lice, spray with kerosene emulsion before the pests appear. To destroy the codling- moth, canker worm and curculio, spray with Paris green or London purple, % pound in 40 or 50 gallons of water, soon after blossoms fall, and ag-ain two weeks later, using at the same time the Bordeaux mixture for the apple scab. To destroy the web worm, spray with Lon- don purple or Paris green as soon as they appear. This application should be made during the middle or the day, when the worms are out of their webs feeding on the leaves SPRAYING CHERRIES.—For insects, and diseases of the Cherry, spray with the same materials and at the same periods as recommended for apples. SPRAYING PE\R5.—The pear slug can easily be destroyed by dusting air slaked lime over the trees or using Paris green, 4 ounces to 50 gallons of water, as soon as it begins operations Pear and Quince leaf blight can be controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. The codling moth and curculio should be treated the same as recommended for apple trees. SPRAYING PLUMS. — Destroy the aphis with kerosene emulsion applied with a fine spray nozzle. The curculio can be destroyed by spraying with 3 ounces Paris green to 40 gallons of water. First application should be made as soon as blossoms have fallen, and repeated at intervals of a week or ten days. Four applications should be sufficient. The addition of Bordeaux mixture to the above applications will increase their efficiency and help to control black knot, rot and other fungous diseases. Other insect enemies of the plum will be destroyed by this method, but in all cases be particular to keep the poison and water constantly stirred. For shot hole fungus, spray with copper sulphate solution, before buds start in the spring, and with Bordeaux mixture in mid-summer. For slugs use same as for pear. SPRAYING PEACHES.—If attacked by the peach aphis, spray with kerosene emulsion. The plum curculio frequently attacks the peach, in which case spray with Paris green, three ounces to 50 gallons of water, adding also two pounds of lime ; be sure to keep it well stirred and use with caution. Never use Paris green or -London purple on peach trees unless lime is added. For curl leaf spray before buds start in the spring with copper sul- phate solution, apply thoroug-hly. After buds have started spray with Bordeaux mixture, and repeat again in "about ten days. Plant varieties that are less subject to curl leaf, such as New Prolific, Banner, etc. For Grape Rot and Mildew use the Bordeaux Mixture. SPRAYING CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES.—To destroy the worms spray with Paris green, one ounce in twelve gallons of water, as soon as the worms appear. For the second brood use powdered hellebore. To destroy the yellow aphis spray with kerosene emulsion early in the season. To prevent mildew, use one-half ounce potassium sulphide to one gallon of water.
