 "The Sprayer that I pur- 

 chased from you last spring 

 is a most valuable little ma- 

 chine, I have no hesitation 

 in recommending it to anyone who requires 

 an inexpensive and reliable spray pump. It 

 is excellent, and I do not know of any other 

 hand machine for the price that could do 



better work." t^ t> o -^x. ^^ nr t%

Summer Spraying For Peaches 



Prof. John P. Stewart, State Collefc, Pa. 



For brown-rot, scab and curculio : 



(1) When the calyces (or shucks) are 

 shedding, lead arsenate, lime and water 

 (2 2-40). 



(2) About one month after petals drop. 

 Use either (a) lead arsenate and self-boiled 

 lime-sulphur, 2-8-8-40. Or (b) lime-sulphur 

 solution, about 1.003, and arsenate of limo 

 at the rate of about 1 pint to 40 gallons. 

 (See Pa. Expt. Sta. Bui. 92 or 99 for prep- 

 aration and dilution of materials in (b). 

 Lead arsenate and lime, two pounds of each, 

 may be substituted for the arsenite of lime, 

 making the addition of the arsenical as late 

 as possible). 



(3) About one month before fruit ripens. 

 Either (a) self-boiled lime-sulphur, 8-8-40 ; 

 or (b) lime-sulphur solution, about 1.003. 



Note. — Treatments 2b and 3b are experi- 

 mental as yet, but are promising and desir- 

 able for their economy, convenience and 

 freedom from stain on the fruit. 3b, for 

 example, may prove to be usable up to two 

 weeks before fruit-ripening. The solutions 

 should be knrncn to be free from salt or 

 other harmful foreign materials. The main 

 spraying should be done as indicated in 2a 

 and 3a, with accompanying tests of the al- 

 ternative treatment under similar condi- 

 tions, for possible future use. 



Hefcrenoos. — For making self-boiled lime- 

 siilphur, see Bulletin 174 or Circular 27 of 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, 

 D. C For making and diluting concentrat- 

 ed lime-sulphur, see Penn. Expt. Sta. Bui. 

 92 or 99.
