"This preparation may be used with great advantage in those 

 cases where a disease has previously existed, as it destroys rest- 

 ing spores that may be concealed in crevices of bark, brickwork, 

 or on the ground under fruit trees. In spraying fruit trees, vines, 

 etc, the trunk and branches should be thoroughly drenched ; but 

 it is all important to remember that the spraying should be done 

 during the winter, or at all events, some time before the leaf 

 buds begin to swell, otherwise the foliage would be completely 

 destroyed. This preparation should not under any circumstances 

 be applied to leaves or fruit." pp. 37-38.
