October 1st, was yet in full green foliage, not in the least loosened, 

 fruit buds were making in fair numbers and there was only the merest 

 scattering of scale. On the 24th, sprayed with "Scalecide," one to 

 twenty, the application somewhat imperfect, due to high wind and 

 foliage, which, however, was then about ready to drop. 



It should be noted that this was a very scaly tree and so much 

 injured that some branches were already dead or dying. The applica- 

 tion in 1904 was made long before the tree was dormant and was be- 

 lieved to be so excessive as to endanger the buds. Xevertheless, a full 

 bloom was made, and all the fruit that the tree should reasonably bear 

 developed normally. I do not credit the Kerosene-Napthol with add- 

 ing to the effect of the "Kill-0-Scale,'' and neither material caused 

 injury of any kind. The tree is in far better shape than at the cor- 

 responding period last year. 



October 30th, yet in full foliage, was sprayed with "Scalecide," one 

 part to water twenty parts, thoroughly applied. 



Teee 8 — Grimes' Golden Pippen. Was treated October 14th, 1904, 

 with '^'Kill-0-Scale." March 6th, 1905, was drenched with Kerosene- 

 Napthol, one part to ten of water. The tree had started irregularly 

 April 12th, buds were ready to open May 1st, was in full bloom May 

 7th and out of bloom May 11th. On the 19th sprayed with arsenate 

 of lead versus codling moth, and renewed the application May 29th. 

 Woolly lice appeared early in June and some small colonies continued 

 present throughout the season. 



The fruit set was not very laige, but developed normally except as 

 checked by drought. It began to ripen about the middle of August, 

 and was not Grimes' Golden ; but I could get no name for it, and so it 

 must stand as it is for the present. It is very like that on tree 33, 

 marked Baldwin, but that also is untrue to label. In the fruit as 

 gathered August 26th there was no codling moth at the calyx end, 

 but at several points worms had entered where two fruits touched. 



Up to August 3d, no scale was seen on the tree, and then a few sets 

 were noted on the fruit. On October 1st, there was very little infesta- 

 tion visible anywhere from the ground, and none that was bad. The 

 effect of the October 14th application was entirely satisfactory. 



While this tree did not suffer quite as severely as JSTo. 2, leaf- 

 hoppers nevertheless became quite abundant on it, and on August 19th 

 sprayed with Rose Nicotine, two ounces in one gallon of water, with 

 absolutely no effect. On the 21st, sprayed with kerosene and resin.
