I'm using the Paris green for the cod
lin moth spray it is necessary to use
small quantity of ammonia to dissolve
the Paris green before putting 1t into the
water in the tank. In order to cheaper
the cost of the ammonia somewhat. ado
pints Of water to pint Of full-strengtr
ammonia; then use a sufficient quantity
of this adulterated ammonia to thor
oughly dissolve the Paris green. Water

Paris green is wasted.
Pears should be sprayed three OF
four times during the season. beginning
when the bloom drops and continuing
every two weeks until three or four
sprayings have been made. One spray

"One spraying is sufficient for the scale
in the winter time, and this should be
done in December or January.
by following the above directions as
given there need be no fear of scale or
