OBSERVATIONS. 



APPLES. 



The apple trees used for the experiment were Northern Spys, and one 

 tree was sprayed with each sample of green. The trees stood in two 

 rows, side by side, and the samples with lime were applied to one row 

 and those without lime to the other. These experiments gave but 

 slight results. Of the trees sprayed without lime the two receiving 

 samples Nos. 2 and 5 (-i and 7 per cent of arsenious oxid) showed some 

 burning of the foliage after the rains of June 7 to 10. The tree 

 sprayed with No. 2 seemed to be the most affected. The trees sprayed 

 with the addition of lime suffered no appreciable burning of the 

 foliage. 



PEARS. 



The pear trees receiving no lime were the Frederick Clapp, Hardy, 

 Kieffer, Pitmaston Duchess, Superfine, and Anjou; those receiving the 

 addition of lime were the Hardy, Hoosic, Louise Bonne, Sheldon, and
