A. Weaver Co.'s Catalogue of Seeds and Implements, Newport, R. I. Formulas for Spraying Mixtures. Bordeaux Mixture. Copper sulphate, 6 pounds ; quicklime, 4 pounds ; water, 40 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting it in a bag of coarse cloth, and hanging this in a vessel holding at least four gallons, so that it is just covered by the water. Use an earthen or wooden vessel ; slake the lime in an equal amount of water, then mix the two and add enough water to make 40 gallons. It is then ready for immediate use. For rots, moulds, mil- dews, and all fungous diseases. Paris Green. Paris green, 1 pound ; water, 250 gallons. If this mixture is to be used upon peach trees, one pound quicklime should be added. Repeated appli- cations will injure most foliage, unless lime is added. Paris green and Bordeaux Mixture can be applied together with perfect safety. The action of neither is weakened, and the Paris green loses all caustic properties. For insects which chew. Copper Sulphate Solution. Copper sulphate, 1 pound; water, 15 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate in the water, when it is ready for use. This should never be applied to foliage, but must be used before the buds break. For peaches and nectarines, use 25 gallons of water. For fungous diseases. London Purple. This is used in the same proportion as Paris green, but as it is more caustic, it should be applied with the lime or with the Bordeaux Mixture. Do not use it on peach or plum trees. For insects which chew. Hellebore. Fresh white hellebore, 1 ounce ; water, 3 gallons. Apply when thoroughly mixed. For insects which chew. Kerosene Emulsion. Hard soap, % pound ; boiling water, 1 gallon ; kerosene, 2 gallons. Dissolve the soa
