Insurance for Your Greens
December 2003

    Indoors--In order to prolong the life and needle retention of your
fresh Christmas tree, wreaths, garland and boughs, all of our holiday
greens have been sprayed with Wilt-Pruf, an antidesiccant which helps
retain moisture to prolong the life and beauty of your fresh Christmas
decorations.

    Outdoors, too!--Wilt-Pruf is also one of the best insurance policies
for your landscape plants. Wilt-Pruf acts as a protective coating,
holding moisture on plant stems and leaves, greatly reducing water loss
due to the howling winds of winter. This product is especially effective
when used on evergreens and broadleaf evergreens such as euonymus, holly
and boxwood.

    Wilt-Pruf is a natural product derived from pine resin, making it
organic, biodegradable, non-hazardous and non-toxic. It is available in
a wide range of sizes, from a ready-to-use aerosol and trigger sprayer
to concentrates that makes enough spray for the entire landscape.
