Plot No. 1 was sprayed with dilate Bordeaux (4-4-100) and ^ lb. 

 Green Arsenoid. Plot No. 2, dilute Bordeaux and ^ lb. Insect 

 Green. Plot No. 3, dilute Bordeaux and ^Ib. Arsenic Lime. Plot 

 No. 4, dilute Bordeaux and 1 lb. arsenate of lead. Applications were 

 made May 21st and 30tli with the combined insecticide and fungicide, 

 and July 9th with the dilute Bordeaux alone. The results of this test 

 were that the foliage of the peach, cherry and Japanese plums was 

 slightly injured by the Green Arsenoid and Insect Green, but no 

 injury could be discovered where the Arsenic Lime or arsenate of 

 lead were used. 



Numerous prepared insecticides and fungicides have been put on 

 the market the past year, trials of many of which were made in the 

 station orchards and vineyards, but with no results that warrant pub- 

 lication further than to say that good results were obtained with 

 many of them, but their value as compared with the standard prep- 

 arations cannot be determined without further trial. It would be a 

 great advantage to the farmer and horticulturist if they could pur- 

 chase ready for use reliable combined insecticides and fungicides at 

 reasonable prices that would be as effective as the fresh home mixed 

 product. 



PUMPS AND NOZZLES. 



During the past year many new pumps have been put on the mar- 

 ket, some of which are improvements upon those formerly in use, 

 but with little or no reduction in price. 



The Vermorel nozzle of many forms, the Cyclone, the Bordeaux 

 and other nozzles are now arranged in clusters of from two to five 

 so that a large amount of liquid can be distributed in a short time, 

 thus greatly reducing the cost of spraying large trees.
