ORCHARD WORK. WINTER SPRAYING. ITS IMPORTANCE. It ha* come to be recognised by the most up-to-date orchardists that spraying fruit trees in winter and early spring is a vital necessity, if the bicst returns are tn be obtained. It is when the trees are in a dormant condition, aud before the buds burst in spring, that the utmost efforts should be devotcil to destroying the insect pests and the fungus growths which produce such heavy losses to the fruitgrowers. Too much emphasis cannot he laid upon the importance of this winter spraying, and tbe beat men advise not only spraying in the winter itself, but also in the earJ-\ spring, just before the buds being to burst, as it ensures a larger amount of spray on the trees during the early summer, and thus destroys any fungous growths or any young scales from adulis which may have escaped destruction. This continued action of the spray is perhaps quite as important as its first effect. It has been amply demonstrated not only on all the great experimental stations and fruit farms of the United States of America nnd Australasia, but throughout the Dominion ns well, that PHERWINWtLLIAMS' LIME SULFUR SOLUTION is the most reliable and satisfactory .ipray for winter and early spring, because it | POSSESSES THE HIGHEST PERCEX- | TAGE OF INSECTTCIDAL AND FUNGIICIDAL EFFECTIVENESS. Abundant I experience has shown that Sherwin-Wil-j Hams' Lime Sulfur Solution !■ a most effective remedy in the control of San | Jose Scale. Peach Scale, Oyster Shell j Scale. Scurfy Scale, etc. It also is effeei tivc in destroyinp the winter eggs of the ' aphides which affect the foliage of the j apple. It also destroys the eggs of the ; pear tree, psylla, which arc deposited on j the tree very early in the season by oyer- | wintering adults. It also destroys the j pear leaf blister mite, which passes the ; winter under bud scales of the pear and apple, and attacks the expanding foliage in the spring. The eggs of the red spider and other mites are also destroyed. If applied before the buds open it effectually controls the leaf curl and diehack in the peach and nectarine, as well as apple ami pear scab, brown rot, and hlack spot. The Sherwin-Williams' Lime Salfur Solution is put up.'n reputed quart bottles, one-gallon and five-gallon tins, and 50----j gallon casks, and is sold by storekeepers and seedsmen everywhere.
