SUMMER MEETING. ll/> 



We have now come to a time when, if we have taken good care 

 of our trees, they have commenced to bear, and the question is what 

 shall we do to save our fruit from the multitude of insects that prey 

 upon them? and in reply would say spray, and do not forget to spray. 

 For cherry and plum I would use London purple, first, when the trees 

 are in full bloom. Second, when the petals have fallen'; and after that, 

 every two weeks, unless we have hard rains, then spray as soon as 

 the rain is over and the leaves have become dry. In that way I think 

 we can have good fruit that we yill not be ashamed to put on any 

 market, and command the highest price, and fruit we will be glad for 

 our neighbor to come in and inspect and help us to eat.
