SPRAYING CALENDAR. 
EXPLANATION. — While the number of applications recommended will be found desirable in seasons 
when the fungi are particularly troublesome, a smaller number may often suffice. Whenever an asterisk 
(•) Is used, it cautions against spraying with poisons while the plants are in blossom; a dagger (f) indi- 
cates that there is danger in making an application within three weeks of the time fruit is to be used.
