 ducted in apple orchards in New Brunswick under the direction of E. G. 

 Sanders. 



The results, in general, indicate that it is practically impossible to control 

 apple scab in ordinary years with relocated lime-sulphur sprays. A 3:10:40 

 Bordeaux mixture has proved a safe and efficient fungicide for the preblossom 

 spray and a spray two weeks after blossom. The use of lime-sulphur at this 

 period results in more or less injury to the fruit. Arsenate of lead as a spi-ay 

 after the blossom fall was an efficient but costly spray. Both lime-sulphur 

 and Bordeaux used at this period result in more or less injury to the fruit.
