FOR THE PLUM. 



We would advise the same treatment, as given to the apple and 

 pear, for the plum leaf blight, black wart and the fruit rot. For the 

 plum eurculio, use the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength, with 

 Paris green, one pound to 200 gallons. One application of the 

 ammoniacal carbonate of copper should be made after the middle of 

 August, to prevent the rotting of the fruit and the leaf blight. 



FOR THE PEACH. 



To destroy the plum eurculio, spray with the Bordeaux mixture, 

 one-fourth strength, and Paris green, one pound to 200 gallons. 

 For the fruit rot, spray with the ammoniacal carbonate of copper, one 

 poun^d to fifty gallons of water. Try the sulphate of copper, one 

 pound to 1000 gallons of water, for the fruit rot. 



FOR THE GRAPE. 



Spray with the concentrated solution of sulphate of copper every 

 part of the viues and trellis before the buds unfold. Just before the 

 blossom buds unfold, spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-half 

 strength, with Paris green, one pound to 100 gallons. As soon as 

 the petals have fallen, spray again with the same; then at intervals 

 of about two weeks use the ammoniacal carbonate of copper, one 

 pound to twenty-five gallons. Try the sulphate of copper, one pound 

 to 500 and 800 gallons of water at the same intervals. 



FOR RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY. 



For the anthracnose of the blackcaps, and the yellow rust of the 

 blackberry, use the concentrated solution of sulphate of copper, 

 before the buds open. Then spray with the Bordeaux mixture one- 

 half strength or the ammoniacal carbonate of copper before the 

 blossom buds unfold, and two or three times alter the fruit has 

 been gathered, at intervals of two or three weeks. The first disease 

 attacks the canes principally and more attention in spraying should 

 be given to them, than to the leaves. 



FOR THE STRAWBERRY. 



Spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength and Paris 

 green 1 lb. to 100 gallons for the leaf blight and the " spotted paria," 

 as soon as growth begins in the spring. Just before the blossoms 

 open use the Bordeaux mixture same strength, hut no Paris green. 

 After the fruit has been gathered Paris green and the Bordeaux 

 mixture should be used if the bed or field is to be carried through 

 another season.
