case Bordeaux has proved to be more effective than Lime -sul- 

 phur. Bordeaux rusts the fruit of many varieties if applied 

 while the apples are young; but can be applied later without 

 injury. 



Many growers give the first two summer sprays, viz. 

 (1) the one just after the petals fall and (2) the one two 

 weeks later with Lime -sulphur and later sprays are given with 

 Bordeaux. This is frequently done in the pippin orchards 

 which are subject to bitter rot. 



Three growers had tried "Sulfacide" and one of these 

 reported it unsatisfactory. The poison used with Sulfocide 

 is Paris green; the manufacturers of this fungicide caution 

 against the use of any other arsenical with this fungicide. 



One grower had used "Atomic Sulphur" and reported 

 it unsatisfactory. 



For practically all summer spraying where a poison 

 is desired against biting insects, arsenate of lead is used, 

 and is generally applied along with the lime -sulphur solut- 

 ion ot Bordeaux mixture as the case may be. Arsenate of 

 lead has practically replaced Paris green in orchard spray-
