 concerning peach leaf curl, have reference to the result of some experiments in 

 Australia, for the treatment of peach curl with Bordeaux mixture, by which the 

 peach curl was entirely prevented. I'he results were reported to Mr. Craig

 treatment of this disease by applying Bordeaux mixture before the leaves open 

 and afterwards at intervals of ten days for three successive applications. The 

 result was entire immunity from disease.

 learned from the orange shippers, who wrap their fruit in printed tissue paper, on 

 which are stamped the name and place of the grower and his name. Such fruit
