Keport of the Horticulturist of the 



very badly mildewed. The treatments with lysol and formalin 

 in some instances seemed to have slightly checked the mildew on 

 the fruit. The combined treatment of Bordeaux mixture and 

 potassium sulphide had checked the disease, but the most favor- 

 able results appeared where_the potassium sulphide had been 

 used for very early and medium early treatments. 



Picking the Fruit. 



The last spraying was made June 21. Messrs. King & Robinson 



wished to market the fruit green, so on July 6 and 7 it was picked. 



The mildewed fruit and perfect fruit were weighed separately for 



each different treatment. In order to have an accurate basis of 



comparison the yields are figured so as to give the average per 



plant in each experiment. The results are so arranged in the 



following table that the reader can easily compare the same 



remedies in the different series. It must be borne in mind that 



Series I received seven sprayings beginning April 12, Series II 



received six sprayings beginning April 23, and Series III received 



five sprayings beginning May 5.
