APPLE TINGIS. 



Practice clean culture, clean up and burn all rubbish about 

 the orchard. Spray when eggs are hatching in late May or 

 early June with kerosene emulsion or black leaf-40. 



APPLE TREE ANTHRACNOSE. 



In orchards where slightly affected with anthracnose or 

 where it is considered advisable to spray as a matter of gen- 

 eral orchard practice, it is advised to spray once in the fall, 

 as soon as possible after the fruit is picked, using Bordeaux 

 mixture, 6-6-50. 



In orchards where the disease is on the increase and it 

 is desired to make a special effort to prevent any further 

 spread, growers should spray twice with Bordeaux mixture 

 (6-6-50) after the fruit is picked. The two applications 

 should be about two or three weeks apart. 



Where the disease is abundant and is seriously interfering 

 with the growth and productiveness of the orchard, and it is 

 desired to clean up the orchard in the shortest time possible, 

 then it is advised to spray at least once before the fruit is 

 picked with Bordeaux mixture, 4-4-50. This application should 

 be made about the middle of September or before the nrst 

 fall rains. In addition, such an orchard should be sprayed 

 twice with Bordeaux, using the 6-6-50 formula as recom- 

 mended above.

Spray with Bordeaux or lime-sulphur when blossoms are
