of rot was found, while on adjacent trees of the same variety 

 which were not sprayed, from one-twentieth to one-fifth of the 

 fruit rotted. 



(2) On orchard trees of Montmorency sprayed June 15, 1895, 

 with eau celeste soap mixture, only a slight amount ol rot was 

 found, while on adjacent unsprayed trees from one-twentieth to 

 one-fifth of the fruit rotted. 



(3) From the middle of June, 1895, till the close of the season, 

 the unsprayed trees had much more and better foliage than did 

 the trees which had been sprayed. 



(4) Generally the injury to the leaves in 1895 was much greater 

 on the trees which were sprayed with eau celeste than it was 

 on the trees sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, but on one group 

 of Keine Hortense the Bordeaux mixture caused the greater 

 injury. 



(5) No injury to the leaves resulted from spraying orchard 

 trees with Bordeaux mixture in 1896, even when the trees were 

 drenched with it. 



(6) Bordeaux mixture applied as late as May 25 is liable to 

 show on the fruit when it is ripe and injure its appearance. 



(7) The results of these tests do not give conclusive evidence 

 as to the best line of treatment for the leaf-spot on bearing 

 cherry trees, so no definite line of treatment is as yet recom- 

 mended.
