Small and Bush Fruits: Strawberries 173 



Where the disease has previously existed the leaves should be mowed 

 and burned, as described under " Strawberry-leaf Spot ". Early the follow- 

 ing spring, when the leaves are expanding, spraying with sulphide of 

 potassium should be commenced, and continued at intervals, if a trace of 

 mildew is observed, until the blossom is ready to expand. The under 

 surface of the leaf is the part attacked by the mildew, hence the nozzle of 

 the sprayer should be of such a pattern as will allow of its being placed 

 close to the ground, under the leaves. [G. M.]
