THE MONTHLY BULLETIN. 



77S 



have been affected by this fungus lias neglected to spray with Bordeanx 

 mixture during November, there is all the more reason to apply a 

 thorough spraying in the spring just as soon as the buds open. 



Leaf-Curl of Peach. 



We wish to again call the attention of the peach growers to the leaf- 

 curl fungus. This disease causes the curling of the peach leaves as 

 they develop in the spring and which often wither and fall together 

 with part of the young fruit. Later on a new growth of leaves develop, 

 but the harm has been done. Spray with Bordeaux mixture 5-5-50, 

 just prior to the opening of the buds in the spring. 



Apple Scab. 



Apple scab is easily recognized by the scabby patches developed on 

 the surface of the fruit in which the brown velvet growth of the 

 fungus appears. Spray with Bordeaux mixture 5-5-50. just as the buds 

 are opening, again after the petals fall, and once or twice at intervals 

 later where the variety or location is particularly advantageous to the 

 growth of the fungus. Arsenate of lead, a remedy for the codling 

 moth, can be combined with the Bordeaux mixture, thus eliminatii^ 

 two sprayings for scab and codling moth at the time both should be 

 applied.
