limbs in the interior portion of the bushy growru. Although only a 
small per cent of the foliage was thus affected, the difference between 
treated and untreated was quite evident-. After the lapse of three 
or four weeks this falling of the leaves ceased. The unbudded stocks 
which were not treated remained remarkably free from the disease, 
but in this respect were excelled by the Marianna unbudded, untreated 
stocks. The budded stocks were not so soon affected as the unbudded, 
but the Early Prolific “ buds” in the untreated section began dropping 
their foliage in July and throughout the season were manifestly worse 
affected. The following table shows the data collected in September 
and October, after all growth had practically ceased:

From this table the only conclusion admissible is in regard to the 
amount of leaf-blight. It is evident that the treated portions lost only 
a small number of leaves in comparison with the untreated, and in so 
far the fungicides proved effective. - 
MARIANNA STOCKS. 
1802 .—The treatment of these stocks was in all respects identical 
with that of the Myrobolan stocks and the results were in general sim¬ 
ilar. The treated unbudded stocks lost a number of their leaves from 
an early attack of the fungus in June and July, but the untreated un- 
budded portion of the row remained remarkably free from the disease 
throughout the season, more so in this regard than the Myrobolan. The
