Marianna, containing 504 stocks, and the other of Myrobolan, con- 
taining 474 stocks. As described previously* the results of the 
first season’s experiment were entirely negative, as the disease — 
failed to appear. 
‘On October 9, the three varieties, Early Prolific (Harly 
Rivers), Purple Egg (Hudson River Purple Egg), and Italian Prune 
(Fellenberg), were budded upon both rows of stocks as set forth 
subsequently, p. 665. Numerous stocks were left unbudded to test 
the effect of the fungicides and the end of each row was left 
untreated. 
The rows were treated in 1892, with Bordeaux and 
ammonical solution, the formulae of which are described on 
pp. 670, 671. One-half the treated stocks received five sprayings 
and the other six, at the dates given on, p. 646. In all respects 
the two rows were treated alike. 
MYROBOLAN STOCKS. 
1892.— The disease made its first appearance in June upon the 
unbudded stocks which were carried over from 1891, and strangely ay 
enough only npon the treated portions. This dropping of the 

treated Myrobolan foliage was confined to the leaves situated on a 
the larger limbs in the interior portion of the bushy growth. 
_ 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 me 
remarkably free from the disease, but in this respect were excelled — e. 
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:
