BORDEAUX VS. LIME-SULPHUR SUMMARY. 



Lime-sulphur has of late years been gradually taking the place of Bordeaux as a 

 suitable mixture with which to control apple scab. Bordeaux mixture has given good 

 results in combating this disease but on account of causing objectionable russeting on 

 the fruit, and decided foliage injury, it is not for this section at least a satisfactory 

 spray. '' 



The results obtained would indicate that for the control of apple scab, lime-s.ulphur 

 is equally as effective as Bordeaux, the foliage was much healthier in all the plots 

 where lime-sulphur alone was used, and the fruit in every case was much brighter and 



Kentville.
