* By an accident this section received one late spraying with Bordeaux and henco it is rendered un¬ 
fit for comparison. 
The disease did comparatively little damage upon these stocks, but 
as shown by the table, the treated sections were superior to the un¬ 
treated, and the Bordeaux slightly superior to the ammoniacal solution 
when 6 treatments are compared.* The difference between 5 and 6 
treatments was not very marked. 
A comparison of the two tables brings out the fact which is note¬ 
worthy in this connection, that the “buds’if on Mahaleb stocks aver¬ 
aged greater in diameter throughout than those on the Mazzard. This 
difference is constant when stocks receiving the same treatment are 
compared in each row, with the exception of the untreated section of 
Windsors when compared witli that treated once by mistake. This 
constant difference in diameter, at 3 inches above the base (“ caliper”), 
is of such importance as to merit further observations. The author re¬ 
grets that the control rows were left so small, and feels Avarranted in 
drawing only the general conclusion, which was strikingly demonstrated 
that the fungicides were effective to a remarkable degree in preventiug 
the disease and that treated stocks made the best growth. 
* The superiority of Bordeaux is not fully shown by the figures, as in every case 
the effect of the ammoniacal solution was evidently injurious to the health of the foli¬ 
age. 
tThe term “bud” is here used, as among nurserymen, to indicate a budded stock 
after the top has been cut off and the inserted bud itself allowed to grow.
