This group of trees was sprayed on June 15, 1903, and observations 

 were made on June 23, up to which time no rain had fallen, and again 

 on July 11, during which period there had been several rainfalls. At 

 the first observation no effects were noticeable on any of the trees. 

 At the second observation the following effects were noted: 



No. 1. Simmons Red. The edges of some leaves were black and many had fallen. 



No. 2. Maverick Siveet and Laurence Greening. Foliage of the former was black on 

 the edges, but no leaves had fallen. About one-fifth of the foliage of the latter was 

 black on the edges, but no leaves had fallen.

 burned and one-third of it had fallen; one-third of the foliage of the latter was burned 

 very slightly.
