budded stocks showed little superiority in regard to leaf-bliglit over 
the budded Myrobolau and evidently no considerable degree of immu¬ 
nity was afforded by the stock to the scion. But a comparison of the 
two tables brings out the fact that the Purple Egg “buds” made mark¬ 
edly the best growth upon Marianna stocks. These “buds” averaged 
more than one-eighth of an inch greater in diameter and were on an 
average 10 inches higher. The other less rapidly growing stocks did 
not show such a marked difference, and too much reliance ought not 
to be placed on data gathered from so small a number of stocks. Cer¬ 
tain it is, however, that the Marianna proved superior in this single 
experiment.

* By another mistake in budding, those stocks which should have received Italian Prune buds were 
budded with Purple Egg buds. 
As regards the effects of the treatments, the only fairly deducible 
conclusion is that the Bordeaux mixture and ammoniacal solution pre¬ 
vented the disease to a notable degree, sufficient, it is believed, to' 
warrant further extended trial in nursery practice. Although not 
evident from the table, the ammoniacal solution is in reality inferior to 
Bordeaux, as it injures the foliage of the treated “buds.” On this 
account it can not be recommended for the treatment of plum stocks. 
Plates xxviii and xxix show the treated and untreated “buds” as 
they appeared in the experiments.
