used throughout. It would appear that the most important 

 spray this season was that just before the blossoms opened, and 

 the second of importance just after the petals fell. Last season 

 it was the one just after the leaf buds opened which gave the 

 best results and the one just before the blossoms opened was of 

 second value. The results obtained are as follows :

Question : How did the weather conditions compare ? 



Prof. Blair : This year we had cool weather conditions dur- 

 ing the early part of the season, later warm and the trees came 

 into blossom much more rapidly than the previous year. I 

 should judge the weather conditions were more normal than 

 last year.
