DISEASED VINE. 



SIR, — Thanks for infoimation about 

 diseiised vine ; 1 note the remedy for 

 the disease. 



{a) As 1 understand the treatment, it 

 must be delayed uiUil next winter; ;im I 

 right ? 



[h) I now pick oil nil leaves and fruit 

 as they appear to come untler the influence 

 of the fungus and carefully bum them. 



{cj Can one reduce the quantities given 

 to, say, five gullons water and foiii fluid 



ounces of sulphm ic acid ? These quan- 

 tities would give me an ample supply, as 

 I have only a few young vines which, 

 excepting the diseased one, have not yet 

 commenced fruiting ; moreover, I have 

 no utensils in which to boil 20 gallons 

 water, neither have I a wooden receptacle 

 to hold the stuff when made. 



Yours, etc., 



James Thorrold.
