sulphur 1-80 to 100). Add arsenate of 

 lead, 3 lbs. to 100, with lime. 



Fifth application (two or three weeks 

 later). For scab, moth or woolly aphis. 

 (Lime-sulphur 1-100 to 120). Add arse- 

 nate of lead, 3 lbs. to 100, with lime. 

 Add tobacco if aphis shows. 



Sixth application (two or three weeks 

 later). For scab and moth. (Lime- 

 sulphur 1-120). Add arsenate of lead 

 with lime. 



Seventh application (month later). 

 For scab, moth, woolly aphis and leaf 

 roller. (Lime-sulphur 1-120 if thought 

 necessary). Arsenate of lead, 3 lbs. to 

 100, with lime. Add tobacco if neces- 

 sary, 1-1200. Arsenate of lead is the 

 principla spray at this application. 



Eighth application (three or four 

 weeks later). For leaf roller. Three 

 pounds arsenate of lead, adding lime- 

 sulphur if necessary. 



Ninth application. A late spray with 

 arsenate of lead, 3 lbs. to 10(5, just be- 

 fore picking keeps leaf roller in check 

 for storing or exporting. 



Tenth spray. Autumn oil 1-60 after 

 crop removed on varieties subject to 

 woolly aphis. (Gargoyle prepared red 

 spraying oil used.) 



The above has produced perfect re- 

 sults. Not 5 per cent of scab in a bad 

 year and 100 per cent clean last season. 

 This prpogram will be carried out by 

 me again this year. 



Bordeaux 8-6-40 and 3-4-40 can suc- 

 cessfully replace the first two sprayings 

 for apples and pears. 



Peach Leaf (iurl. — F'or this disease I 

 spray with lime-sulphur 1-10 at delayed 

 dormant stage, and 1-25 when some 

 blossoms are showing, and get perfect 

 results. I have also used bordeaux 

 8-6-40 and 3-4-40 with a similar result. 



In conclusion, I find a good power 

 sprayer and a proper outfit is one of the 

 chief determining factors in obtaining 

 perfect success, also high pressure and 

 thorough application.

Nelson, N. Z., Sept. 4, 1918. 

 The forty-acre orchard referred to in 

 this article is on the eastern shore of 

 Tasnian Bay, on a strip of sloping land, 

 half a mile or so wide, between a ridge 

 of hills and the sea. It has a north- 

 westerly outlook, and a dark, moder- 

 ately heavy soil. Two or three degrees 

 of frost may be experienced occasion- 

 ally during winter, while the thermom- 

 eter is rarely over 80° F. in the shade 

 in summer. The annual rainfall is 

 usually from 36 to 40 inches, and falls 

 mostly with a northerly wind. 



The varieties of apples grown in this 

 orchard are chiefly Sturmer, Jonathan, 

 Delicious, Dougherty, Bokewood and 

 Senator. During the three years I have 

 known the orchard Mr. Scott's spraying 

 results have been unusually good, the 

 sample being bright and clear and free 

 from russet and stings.
