Experiment 43 : 



Jauuary 24, 1895, same strength us preceding; March 11, fatal to 95 per cent of 

 the scales; May 4, 95 per cent of scales on living portion of tree killed. Half 

 the tree dead, evidently from the scale, with which it was thickly iucrusted. 

 Living portion of the tree in fnll leaf, but without fruit. 

 Experiment 10: 



December 15, 1^ pounds to the gallon; January 17, fatal to 90 per cent of the 

 scales; March 11, 5 per cent liviug; May 4, not above 5 per cent of scales liv-

 Expt-rimeut 34 : 



Jauuary 23, 1^ pounds of soap to the gallou; March 11, fatal to 90 per cent of 

 the scales; May 4, less than 5 per cent of the scales living; only 2 healthy • 

 scales found. Tree originally very heavily infested; some of the branches 

 killed, evidently from the ctfects of the scale, others vigorous, but without 

 fruit. 

 Experiment 46: 



Jauuary 24, same strength as last; March 11, fatal to 90 per ceut of the scales; 

 May 4, tree dead, with the exception of two vigorous branches or new shoots 

 of last year's growth. On these branches 10 i»er cent of the scales are ?lving. 

 Experiment 35: 



January 23, 1^ pounds to the gallon ; March 11, fatal to 90 i>er ceut of the scales ; 

 May 4, 5 per cent of the scales living, limited to terminals. Trees vigorous 

 and in fruit. 

 Experiment 11 : 



December 15, 1 pouiul of soap to the gallon of water; Jauuary 17, fatal to 80 

 per cent of the scales; March 11, but 10 per cent of the scales living; May 4, 

 10 per ceut of the scales alive (on terminals). Tree in good condition and in 

 fruit. 

 Experiment 44 : 



January 24, same strength as last; March 11, fatal to at least 70 per cent of 

 scales; May 4, 85 per cent of scales dead. Tree in vigorous condition, Avith 

 fruit. 

 Experiment 45: 



.January 24, same strength as last and yielding the same results. 

 Experiment 36: 



Jauuary 23, | pound of soap to the gallou of water; March 11, fatal to about 70 

 per cent of the scales; May 4, 85 per cent of the scales have succumbed. 

 Tree vigorous, with the exception of two branches, which are evidently killed 

 by the scale; the whole tree originally densely infested; fruit in very small 

 quantity. 

 Experiment 12 : 



December 15, 1 ])ouud of soap to the gallon; January 17, fatal to about 50 per 

 cent of the scales. Tree afterwards subjected to the general treatment given 

 the orchard. 

 Exi)erimeut 37: 



Jauuary 23, | pound to the gallon; March 11, upward of .")0 per cent of scales 

 killed. Tree afterwards subjected to general treatment given the orchard.

 Ex]>erinient 18: 



December 16, 2 pounds to the gallou; January 17, fatal to 85 per ceut of the 

 scales; March 11, no liviug scales could be found after extensive examination; 

 May 4, in patches; a few living scales found; more than 97 per cent killed. 

 Tree was originally very heavily iucrusted with scales, and about one-half the 

 branches are dead, probably from this cause; no bloom or fruit present.
