New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 195 
very careful attention with respect to cultivation and spraying. 
The leading varieties are Baldwin, Gravenstein, Nonesuch and 
Roxbury. For the experiment there were reserved 276 trees 
which were treated as follows: 71, Section I, treated with lime- 
sulphur-soda wash; 60, Section II, lime-sulphur-soda wash and 
bordeaux mixture with arsenical poison; 64, Section III, check; 
and 81, Section IV, bordeaux mixture with an arsenical poison. 
The treatment was made upon the dates previously given. On 
October 12 to 16, the apples from a number of trees were counted 
to determine the relative amounts of sound and wormy fruit. As 
the Baldwins are greater in numbers and are represented in all 
of the treatments, the count was largely confined to this variety. 
The records of the yields of eighteen Baldwins are given in the 
accompanying table :—
