and at the same time Mr.. Barlow
shipped to the same market one car
load of brights unwashed. The in
secticide washed carload reached Bos-
ton in perfect condition and sold for
10c. per box more than the unwashed
carload of brights. Mr.. Barlow is
certain that the fruit infested with
white fly would have reached Boston
in an unfit condition for sale, and
would not have sold for enough to
pay freight if he had not previously
used the insecticide.
