Note. Should the weather be clear with only light dews, one 

 application of the Bordeaux mixture will remain effective for at least 

 four weeks. 



TREATMENT EOR THE PEAR. 



For the leaf blight and the codling moth, the two most injurious 

 pests attacking the pear, apply : 



1. Bordeaux mixture, sulphate of iron, or sulphate of copper, 

 before the leaves appear. 



2. When the fruit has set, i. e., the petals have fallen, spray with 

 the Bordeaux mixture and Paris green. 



3. Repeat the spraying in eight or ten days. 



4. Spray again with same mixture in two weeks. 



5. Spray with ammoniacal carbonate of copper two or three weeks 

 later. 



The same care must be used in case of heavy rains in the use of 

 Paris green as with the apple. 



TREATMENT FOR THE PLUM. 



To destroy the plum wart, the leaf blight, the rotting of the fruit, 

 and the plum curculio, spra}' as follows : 



1. Before the leaves unfold apply the same mixtures as for the 

 apple and pear. 



2. As soon as the petals have fallen, use the Bordeaux mixture 

 and Paris green. 



3. Spray again in eight or ten da3"s. 



4. Spray again in two weeks. 



5. Use ammoniacal carbonate of copper, in about two weeks. 



6. Apply same at intervals of two or three weeks, until the fruit 

 begins to turn color. 



TREATMENT FOR THE PEACH. 



The peach crop is injured, when we are fortunate enough to have 

 one in New England, by the plum curculio and the rotting of the fruit. 

 The first spraying should be as for the other large fruits, but as the 

 foliage is more easily injured than that of any other fruit, begin the 

 application c>f the mixture recommended for the 2d and 3d spraying 

 one-half strength, increasing to full strength if no injury occurs. 



The 4th and 5th applications need be made only to the early varie- 

 ties, as those ripening the last of August or September are seldom 

 injured by the rotting of the fruit.
