USE INSTRUCTIONS

FRUIT: APPLES AND PEARS (Areas Other Than West Coast): To control Fire Blight in home plantings, apply 1 tablespoon in 2½ gallons of water (equivalent to 100 ppm or 4 oz. per 50 gallons of water) in foliar and blossom sprays. Make first spray at the start of blossoming period. Continue spray applications every 3 to 4 days during bloom time. Apply additional sprays every 5 to 7 days after blossom period when weather conditions favor spread of Fire Blight. Do not apply when fruit is visible.

PYRACANTHA: To control Fire Blight, apply a solution of 1 level tablespoon of ferti•lome FIRE BLIGHT SPRAY per 2½ gallons of water (100 ppm concentration). Begin spraying at start of blossom period. Repeat at 3 to 4 day intervals during bloom and at 5 to 7 days intervals after bloom if weather favors disease spread.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS (Cuttings): To control Bacterial Wilt, soak cuttings for 4 hours in a solution containing ½ tablespoon of ferti•lome FIRE BLIGHT SPRAY per 2½ gallons of water (50 ppm concentration) and plant as usual.

DIEFFENBACHIA: To control Bacterial Stem Rot, spray plants at 5 to 7 day intervals with a solution of 1 level tablespoon of ferti•lome FIRE BLIGHT SPRAY in 2½ gallons water (100 ppm concentration) or soak cuttings for 20 minutes in a solution of 2 level tablespoons in 2½ gallons of water (200 ppm concentration) and plant in sterile rooting medium.

PHILODENDRON: To control Bacterial Stem Rot, remove all decayed leaves and spray with a solution of 2 level tablespoons of ferti•lome FIRE BLIGHT SPRAY in 2½ gallons of water (200 ppm concentration) as preventative or at first sign of water soaked leaves. Repeat at 4 to 5 day intervals.

Soak root system and cut surfaces of infested area for 15 minutes in a solution of 2 level tablespoons of ferti•lome FIRE BLIGHT SPRAY per 2½ gallons water (200 ppm concentration).
