FUNGICIDES 6i 



For insects and fungous diseases on dormant trees a 

 strength of 1 gallon of the solution to 9 to 11 gallons of 

 water gives satisfactory results. 



Self-boiled lime-sulphur wash. — The self-boiled lime- 

 sulphur wash is a combination of lime and sulphur boiled 



with only the heat of the slaking lime, and is primarily 

 intended for summer spraying as a substitute for Bordeaux 

 mixture where the latter is injurious to foliage or fruit. 

 For most purposes the Bordeaux mixture is as yet to be 

 regarded as the better fungicide and should be used 

 except when it is liable to injure the plants. Peach foHage
