  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  partly 
  out 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  

   iDlossom

  farther 
  out 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  many 
  

   tlossom

  Tree 
  71 
  is 
  dead. 
  There 
  are 
  many 
  blossoms 
  on 
  trees 
  86- 
  

   88, 
  and 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  starting, 
  but 
  trees 
  86 
  and

  May 
  14. 
  The 
  leaves 
  on 
  tree 
  69 
  are 
  half 
  out 
  and 
  rather 
  abundant. 
  The 
  

   blossoms 
  are 
  few. 
  The 
  tree 
  has 
  been 
  badly 
  injured, 
  probably 
  by 
  the 
  ex- 
  

   cessive 
  abundance 
  of 
  the 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale.

  blossoms. 
  The 
  numerous 
  leaves 
  are 
  starting 
  and 
  

   the 
  bloom 
  is 
  abundant 
  on 
  trees 
  86-88.

   tion 
  as 
  before, 
  except 
  that 
  one 
  pound 
  was 
  used 
  for 
  each 
  five 
  gallons. 
  The 
  

   day 
  was 
  very 
  warm, 
  practically 
  clear 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  breeze 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  time.

  of 
  the

  appear 
  to 
  be 
  dead.

  Six 
  trees 
  were 
  

   treated 
  with 
  this 
  strength 
  of 
  the 
  insecticide. 
  The 
  conditions 
  and 
  time 
  

   were 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  experiments. 
  Trees 
  33-35 
  globe 
  

   peach 
  respectively 
  16, 
  14 
  and 
  13 
  feet 
  high, 
  were 
  moderately 
  infested 
  with 
  

   the 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale 
  except 
  the 
  first, 
  which 
  was 
  fortunate 
  in 
  having 
  but 
  

   few. 
  of 
  the 
  pests. 
  Tree 
  in, 
  a 
  Kieffer 
  pear 
  8 
  feet 
  high, 
  was 
  infested 
  with 
  

   but 
  few 
  scales. 
  Tree 
  112, 
  a 
  beurre

  7 
  feet 
  high, 
  was 
  moderately 
  

   infested, 
  and 
  tree 
  113, 
  a 
  10 
  foot 
  pear 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  kind, 
  was 
  apparently 
  

   free 
  from 
  the 
  scale.

  Trees 
  3335, 
  111-13, 
  have 
  a 
  white, 
  dry 
  appearance, 
  very 
  

   different 
  from 
  the 
  moist 
  condition 
  of 
  those 
  treated 
  with 
  Good's 
  soap 
  

  

  May 
  II. 
  Leaves 
  have 
  started 
  on 
  tree 
  in, 
  are 
  just 
  starting 
  on 
  tree 
  

   112 
  and 
  are 
  out 
  a 
  little 
  way 
  on 
  tree 
  113. 
  The 
  buds 
  of 
  all 
  are 
  uninjured, 
  

   and 
  the 
  trunk 
  and 
  limbs 
  are 
  considerably 
  whitened 
  by 
  the 
  soap. 
  

  

  May 
  14. 
  There 
  are 
  many 
  blossoms 
  on 
  trees 
  33-35 
  and 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  

   starting 
  well. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  out 
  pretty 
  well 
  on 
  trees 
  in 
  and 
  113, 
  and 
  

   the 
  blossoms 
  are 
  open 
  and 
  very 
  abundant. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  thin 
  and 
  but 
  

   half 
  out 
  on 
  tree 
  112 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  no 
  blossoms.
