RESULTS. 
The results, as indicated below, are due entirely to spraying, no effort 
having been made to check the rot by any other measure. No mum- 
mies or cankers were removed, and the appies that became infected 
were allowed to remain on the trees until the crop was picked or until 
they dropped. Those that fell to the ground were left under the trees 
until picking time. The hands that worked in the orchard were spe- 
cially instructed not to remove any of the diseased apples from the 
experimental block. The object was to test the value of Bordeaux mix- 
ture under the most adverse conditions, and all possible sources of 
infection were left undisturbed. 
On July 10, specimens of bitter-rot apples, some of which are shown 
in Plate I, could be found here and there in the orchard, especially on 
unsprayed trees, and two weeks later (July 24) each tree was exam- 
ined by walking around it and looking for infected fruits. The dis- 
eased fruits were counted, and a general idea of the condition on that 
date may be conveyed by the following summary of the notes made at
