( . .1. Malloy, of I'Jlw.aiiL'er \- P.arry. 

 wa- also :.'i\-en a good audience for his 



remarks on the prices of ornamental 

 stoek, which all agreed are too low. H. 

 C. Bird discussed methods by which 

 <'ost could be determined and it was 

 the crc'iieral view that an effort should 

 be made toward the improvement of 

 j^rades in order that l)etter prices may 

 be jiroeiired. 



^Vheii it came to the selection of a 

 place of meetinir the question "Is it 

 !iot enoiij;!i for you?" was answered in 

 the iiei,';itive, for a young man from 

 Dallas iiKule sneh an entertaininjr talk 

 that the convention voted almost 

 unanimously to go to Texas in .Tune 

 next year. 



The (d"i'tion of cdlieers resulted as 

 follows: I'resident. Minory Albertson. 

 Uridgejiort, liid.; vice-])resident, Or- 

 lamlo Ilanison. Berlin, Md.; secretary. 

 tieo. C. Seager, h'oehester; treasurer.

The election ol' Mr. Aliieitson as the 

 In^ad of the society was a well earned 

 honor. He has fir some yi'ars been 

 the (diairman of the t lansjioitatiou

 Indiana, by Uli.er .Mbertson. in ]^l'>. 

 This was in \\'ashin;zt on cminty. but 

 the busin.-ss was renun'ed t,, Marion 

 county in 1^7."). Three Iniiiilred acres 

 are now include,! in the estalilislinieiit 



and the t'ol'ce incliules .about eii^litv-

lar;^est wholes.ale nursi'iie^ ju tlie 

 <-oiintry and the l;irL;c-st in .Marvland. 

 lie has been mayor ol' iJerliu in re- 

 cent \'ears. 



There was a rather larger trade dis- 

 play than usual. The most interesting 

 feature, however, was a grafting ma- 

 chine, which was closely inspected by 

 e\ery member. 



The entertainment was unusually 

 hosjiitable. Before and after the con- 

 vention many of the visitors made 

 trips to the nurseries in southern 

 Indiana and on Saturday a consider- 

 able ])arty went to Mammoth Cave, 

 Ky., while others went to Chicago to 

 see the peony exhibition. 



During the convention the jirotective 

 associations held their annual meetings, 

 listened to eminently satisfactory reports 

 by secretaries and treasurers, and re- 

 eleeted ollicers. 



BORDEAUX MIXTURE. 



\\'ill you kindly tell us if the Bor 

 deaiix mixture made of sulphate ot 

 popper and ammonia, the same as used 

 f(n**~*jiy:At£tion rust, etc., wdll ))c good 

 for spraying fruit trees and what i»ro 

 ]iortion should be used? AVould ther- 

 b(> any danger of burning the foliag< 

 if Paris creen were added to the mix 



t ure .' 



A. S. 



The Bordeaux mixture is the jirinei 

 ]»al fungicide used in treating friiii 

 trees for scab, rot, mildew and othei 

 diseases. Its regular application in 

 sures better jdants and more jierfeci 

 fruit. The regular formula for niak 

 ing it is: Sulphate of copper, six 

 ])ounds; fresh lime, four ])Ounds; wate- 

 to make fifty gallons. 'We make it a- 

 follows: Fill'a barrel half full of water 

 Place eoi)}ier suljihate in a eoars' 

 cheese-cdoih bag and snspenil near th' 

 top of the water. ]n another barrel 

 jdace the unslaked lime. Add a sniab 

 ijuantity of water and keep adding ani 

 stirring well until pro]ierly slaketl. 

 AN'heii the lime is cool, ])our it throngl; 

 .1 line sieve into the cojiper solution. P 

 is then ready to use. 



The first spraying for fruit tree- 

 should l)e given when the buds ar'- 

 swidling. The Bordeaux mixture at th 

 above strength is usually suflicient f' ' 

 this apjilication. A second s|>rayin, 

 before the llowers open is essential. .^ ' 

 this time it is well to add four oniu - 

 of Paris green to the Bordeaux I . 

 canker worms, biul moths or any olie - 

 pests atta(d\ing apples, pears ;ii 1 

 plums. A similar spraying should ! ' 

 i;iven aft"r the (low'ers have fallen ;i! • 

 still another a fortnight later. \' ■ 

 think four sprayings are necessary : 

 sei-iire best results but many only gi 

 two or three. 



There is no d.anger of burning f" • 

 ago when P.aris j^reen at the strenr 

 lecoiumendeil is used with the 11 ■ 

 de.Miix. I'or gr:ipes, P.ordeanx may
