THE JOY OF GARDENING by Eua M. Schroeder If You Love Iowa, You'll Love "A neighbor borrowed our sprayer to spray his fruit trees last spring," writes G. D. "He returned it, not telling me he had also used it for applying a herbicide. I rinsed it out before filling it with spray material for my roses. I sprayed them last week and now they are defoliating. At first I thought it could be the material I was using, even though I had followed directions exactly. Our county agent examined the roses and told me to ask my neighbor if he had used a weed killer in the sprayer. He said he had, but he'd run water through it afterward. Our county agent said that equipment that has been used for applying herbicides should be reserved exclusively for that purpose. Some can be washed out, but many are almost impossible to remove completely. I thought your readers might be interested in this information." IOwan G.D. went on to say that she not only killed her six rose bushes but damaged other plants. She didn't have the heart to IOWA'S COLORFUL SHOWCASE MAGAZINE tell her good neighbor of the loss, as she is sure he had no idea that a herbicide WITH AN IMPERIAL 9 x 12 SIZE could be so potent or so hard to remove from the sprayer.
