done more than all things else to retard tbs

our orchards and vineyards from insects and

London Purple there was scarcely worm visible.
1t was very unfavorable spring for spraying,

crops OF fruit Of better quality but we add to
the thrift and yigor OF Our orchards and vine
yards. 1t has been my experience that It would
paw to spray simply on account NJ the increased
vigor and thrift Of the trees and vines
