make it to the proper strength, after testing, the 

 quantity should be made up to 100 gallons with 

 water, i.e., \.\ gallons. A ready-made powder, 

 " Vermorite," which only requires dissolving in water, 

 and which makes an efficient Bordeaux Mixture, can 

 be supplied. In the recent spraying discussion at the 

 Royal Horticultural Society's Hall, much emphasis 

 was laid on the Bordeaux Mixture being prepared on 

 the spot and under careful supervision — any careless- 

 ness of proportion or staleness of the mixture tends 

 to make it useless. We recommend also Voss' prepara- 

 tions (see advi.), and " Woburn Paste," see No. 6a, 

 which is ready for immediate use. To clean the 

 hands after using Bordeaux, add a little vinegar 

 to the water.

I Bunyard's Safe Cure for American Blight on 

 Apple Trees ( Woolly Aphis ; A . Lanigera). — 

 This pest has from old Orchards found its 

 way into private gardens. It requires care 

 to eradicate ; hitherto the remedies have 

 often been as harmful as the disease, 

 paraflRn, etc., eating into the Trees and 

 causing death to young examples. The 

 above is a perfect and effective remedy. 

 We offer it in bottles with a brush to 

 apply the same, iod. and 1/4, or post 

 free, 1/4 and i/io, and confidently recom- 

 mend it to all growers. It is poisonous, 

 and care must be used in storing and 

 applying it. The cure is useful for Aphis 

 and all other Insect Blights, but it requires 

 to be diluted according to directions, 

 ^-gallon tins, 3/0 ; i gallon tins 5/0 ; and 

 5 gallon drums . . . . . . ..176
