REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF HORTICULTURE, 



done by this board is not alone apparent, but it is appreciated 

 by all progressive horticulturists, and horticulture is destined 

 in the near future to become one of the leading industries in 

 Oregon. Our fine apples, prunes, and strawberries, followed 

 closely by our fine pears, peaches, and cherries, which are not 

 excelled anywhere on earth, have made a reputation for them- 

 selves throughout the United States, England, Germany, and 

 France within the last few years, and have reached a very high 

 plane, where they must remain, and not be dragged down again 

 into the whirlpool of ordinary fruit. I feel safe in making 

 the prediction that our progressive up-to-date horticulturists 

 will see to it that the goal for which they have worked so hard, 

 and the high-grade standard and excellence in every respect 

 will be maintained, to the credit of the State of Oregon. 

 Respectfully submitted. 



Secretary. 



SPRAY CALENDAR. 



This calendar has been prepared to answer the question, 

 so often asked, ivhen to spray, what to spray with, how to spray, 

 and what to spray for, thus obviating the error to use the wrong 

 spray for any given insect or fungi. 



All fruit trees should be sprayed in the fall, as soon as all 

 the leaves have dropped, with sulphur, lime, and salt ; if no 

 scale are present, full strength of bordeaux mixture will be 

 found sufficient.
