METHODS OF APPLICATION. 



Our cuts,* Figs. 1, 2 and 3, represent three forms of pumps that 



Fig. 2. 



are the most useful under different conditions. Fig. 1 for the garden 

 of a few vines or trees, Fig. 2, the Knapsack pump for the small 

 vinej'ard or a few fruit trees, and Fig. 3, the pump for the large 

 orchard or vineyard, where the liquid is to be carried some distance. 

 The cask may be mounted either on end or on its side, on a stone- 

 boat or wagon. These pumps may be obtained from dealers in agri- 

 cultural implements and garden supplies. 



Two kinds of nozzles are shown, the " Vermorel nozzle" attached 

 to the Knapsack pump, which is one of the best, and the adjustable 

 one attached to the large pump. Both give a fine spray, which is 

 necessary for economy and success in the use of fungicides. 

 TREATMENT FOR THE APPLE. 



1. Apply either the sulphate of copper, sulphate of iron, or the 

 Bordeaux mixture before the leaves unfold to destroy any spores or 

 germs of the apple scab that ma}' adhere to the branches. 



i cuts were kindly loaned us by W. & B. Douglas of Middletown, Conn., and are 

 not inserted here to advertise their pumps as the best, although we believe them to be 

 thoroughly made and eflacient for the work.
