Plats I and II. the demonstration plats, received four applica- 

 tions in all. the first, before blooming but after the cluster buds 

 opened, being applied for the cankerworm and apple scab. Plat I 

 received arsenate of lead at the rate of 2 pounds to 50 gallons of com- 

 mercial lime-sulphur. On Plat II Bordeaux was used instead of 

 lime-sulphur: otherwise the treatments of the two plats were the 

 same. Plat III. the one-spray plat, received only one application 

 of arsenate of lead. 2 pounds to 50 gallons of commercial lime-sul- 

 phur. This was applied just after the petals fell. Plats I and II 

 received 10 gallons of spray per tree each for the application at the 

 time of the fading of the petals, while Plat III received 13 gallons 

 per tree at that time. The coarse spray-nozzle was used on all 

 plats for each application, but only the one-spray plat was drenched.
