and add enough water to make 40 gal
Ions. 1t is then ready for immediate
use but will keep indefinitely If the
mixture is to be used on peach foliage
it is advisable to add an extra pound of
lime to the above formula. When 'ap.
piled to such plants as carnations or
cabbages it will adhere better If about
pound of hard soap be dissolved in
hot water and added to the mixture.
