given, the leaf-bliglit was not present in any considerable amount dur¬ 
ing the season and the efficacy of the two fungicides was not given a 
test of any severity. The treated portions, however, remained freer 
from disease than the untreated. 
1892 .—The same row which had been budded in the fall of 1801 as 
described subsequently, was treated this season in a mauner precisely 
similar to that described for the pear stocks on page 263. Care was taken 
that the undersides of the leaves were wet by the spray and to ac¬ 
complish this the Vermorel nozzle was directed upwards. On June 24 
the first signs of leaf-bliglit were noticed upon the budded, untreated, 
stocks, the unbudded stocks remaining almost entirely free throughout 
the season. By July 16 the leaves of the untreated began to fall and 
continued dropping until many of the stocks were left nearly leafless. 
On October 4 a careful count Avas made of the number of leaves 
which had fallen from each indhddual stock in the roAV. This was ac¬ 
complished, in a comparative way, by counting the leaf-scars on each 
stock. Below is given for convenience a condensed statement of the 
condition of the stocks Avith regard to height, diameter 3 inches above 
the union, and freedom from leaf-blight. All numbers represent aver¬ 
ages. Height above ground (measured September 28) is represented 
in feet and inches, while the figures for diameter (measured October 15) 
are in thirty-seconds of an inch. Only budded stocks are here taken 
into account.
