EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 215 



These two special bulletins also discuss at length the diseases of the currant, rasp- 

 berry, blackberry and strawberry and the insects which affect them. 



This list of insect enemies and fungous diseases of our important fruits seems 

 long and discouraging, but the bulletins hasten to say that there is one general 

 means of defense against most of them. It is to spray early, thoroughly and often. 

 The spraying materials are at hand in every village drug and grocery store, and 

 methods of preparation and application are fully described in the bulletins them- 

 selves. 



The spraying calendar simply tabulates, under the name of each fruit, the time 

 to spray and what material to apply, giving also full directions as to the prepar- 

 ation of the spraying combinations. 



For any station publication, apply, by postal card or otherwise, to the Secretary, 

 Agricultural College, Mich., giving your own name and address.
