INFORMATION GRATIS It cannot be said of the American Blight That to the Orchardisb id gives delight;, Bo Spray it well without compulsion With French "Kebosenb Emulsion." OThe cherries and pears are covered with slags, The Vines are infested wilh naughty wee Bags. But never say die, have you not seen There's death in the spray of "Sweet Nicotine." The Aphis black and the Aphis green Are the very worst pests the peaoh has *een. They allow neither fruit nor tree to grow, Then why notgive "Sweet Nicotin e" a show. ' Tour fruifc brees will soon be nothing bub stumps If you've net) got the senae to use "Knowles* Pumps." The San Jose Scale is coming your way, And your cry then will be '• Let ub Spray," " Lat us Spray." If you wish to destroy the San Jose Scale Pat a pinch of Saltpetre on the tip of his tail, One of fi>>e Charcoal, asobher of Sulphur, Touch with a lighted match—Oh, Lor, ! What a buster ? Catch hold of his throat and open his throttle, And doae him with " Bordeaux " oub of a bottle, When he's swallowed a pint or a quart at the most, He'll be dead as a nail, or quail upon toast The larva of the Codlin Moth Is more destructive than the Goth. So take my advice as soon as he's seen Give him a spray of " Pakis Green." We have pests by the millions, Whioh give us the Dumps. They are coming in Billions, Thank " CLARK " for his Pumps.
