DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XXIV. 



A portion of the Lovell trees in the Rio Bonito orchard left unpruned until too 

 late to spray, many of the floAvers being already open. This plate should be com- 

 pared with PL XXV, which shows how the orchard should be prmied before spray- 

 ing, and also with PI. XXIII, which shows how far bud development may ordinarily 

 be allowed to advance in the spring up to the time the sjiray work is completed.
