It was evident that the loss of the crop of fruit by the destruc- 
tion of the fruit buds with the spray mixture saved a good many 
of the trees. 
Many thousand bearing peach trees, especially in Western 
New York orchards, died during the summer that might have 
been saved and enabled to make a good recovery if the crop of 
fruit or a part of it had been removed early in the season.
