The Diana Grape. — The name of the introducer of this grape, page 194, 

 should read " Mrs. Diana Crehore," and not " Castore," as printed. 



The CUMULATIVE RESULTS of Spraying are worthy of consideration. A row 

 of Whitesmith gooseberries at Maplehurst, was sprayed thoroughly in 1893, with 

 Bordeaux mixture, excepting one bush. This year the whole row was sprayed, 

 and all were clean except this one bush, the fruit of which was unfit to gather. 



Spraying, to be of any real benefit, must be done more faithfully than 

 usual. The first applications must be made early in the season — the Bordeaux 

 mixture must be made with good quality of lime, the pump must be a good one 

 and the nozzle of the proper kind. These conditions observed, and first-class 

 fruit will surely result, unless the soil is poor. The results of the experiments 

 at Grimsby are becoming more and more marked, and a good report may be 

 expected later on.
