(e) Chloride of lime (7.5 grams wet with about 1 ounce of water and added at once 
to 2 gallons of water). 
(f) Chloride of lime (15 grams wet with about 2 ounces of water and added at 
once to 2 gallons of water). 
(g) Chloride of lime (22.5 grams wet with about 3 ounces of water and added at once 
to 2 gallons of water). 
(h) Glue mixture (7.5 grams of copper sulphate, 8 grams * of sodium carbonate, and 
5 grams of Le Page’s glue mixed, and after standing from twelve hours to twenty- 
eight days added to 2 gallons of water). 
The leaf-blight appeared toward the latter part of July to a slight ex- 
tent, and was observed at that date on the sections sprayed with ehlo- 
ride of lime as well as uponthe unsprayed rows. The spread of the 
(lisease was not, however, as extended nor as severe as ordinary, but 
the attack upon the fruit was sufficiently marked to warrant certain 
conclusions for the year’s treatment. 
On October 9 and 10, the fruits were counted upon the trees and 
divided into three grades, those entirely free from spot, those slightly 
spotted, and those unfit for market. At the same time the fruits rot- 
ting from the effects of the fungus Monilia fructigena were tabu- 
lated. This disease was quite abundant in the orchard, and owing to 
the fact that the entrance of the parasite into the fruit is generally 
through the ruptured epidermis, the two estimates are separated in 
the table; that is, fruits spotted which were rotting were counted twice, 
once as spotted and once as rotted. This method was used to make pos- 
sible a true estimate of the action of the fungicides in preventing the 
fruit spot. Below is given a tabulated statement of the experiment. 
The untreated tree in each case stood to the right of the first tree of 
each plat in the adjoining untreated rows: thus No. 4, untreated, stood 
opposite No. 1, treated; No. 8 opposite No. 5, ete. The fruit was also 
counted, in addition to those just mentioned, on ten untreated trees 
at various intervals to left and right of the treated row on the two 
check rows. No choice was exercised in the selection of these trees. 
The average from these eighteen trees is used to compare the yield 
from each treated plat. In Plate vir the percentages are shown. 
Plate vill represents the actual yield of fruit from each treated and un- 
treated tree as well as the condition of the fruit at the time of picking 

grams of malachite, CuCo;+Cu(OH)2. Hence more than .1 of an ounce per gallon 
of water was used.
