Fungicides., and Insecticides and Fungicides combined. 



Fungous diseases, owing to the dryness of the season, have not 

 been as prevalent the past as in several preceding seasons, but 

 mai'ked results were obtained in many experiments. By combining 

 the Bordeaux mixture with Paris green, the apple scab and the 

 codling moth were largely destroyed, as was also the potato beetle 

 and potato blight or rot. 



The plum wart was largely prevented by the application of ker- 

 osene, by the use of copper solutions, and the severe heading in of 

 the infected trees. 



The black or Italian poplar, so badly injured by the poplar rust 

 for two seasons past, was treated with many kinds of fungicides, 

 and from the results obtained this season we believe this alarming 

 disease can be controlled. 



The carnation rust, reported in many greenhouses as causing 

 much injury, has been treated with the Bordeaux mixture and 

 other fungicides, with very favorable results. 



The use of the simple solutions of copper sulphate suggested in 

 our April bulletin has not been as satisfactory as was anticipated, 

 the foliage of nearly all kinds of trees and plants having, under 

 some circumstances, been injured by it. 



Experiments in overhead vs. underbench piping have been con- 

 tinued with about the same results as for the past two years. 



Fertilizers for the greenhouse have been experimented with, but 

 no results have been reached at this time, other than those reported 

 in previous bulletins. 



Spraying AppKLratus. 

 Many kinds of spraying pumps have been tested, as well as 

 nozzles and other appliances, and also numerous kinds of fungi- 

 cides and insecticides, both out doors and under glass ; but we find
