In the account of the experiments of 1893” it was stated thata 
severe wind storm in August blew off many bushels of fruit from 
the trees under experiment. The fruit held to the sprayed trees 
much better than to the unsprayed, thus showing the injurious 
effects of the scab fungus on the latter. In fact the sprayed trees 
were too heavily loaded and the fruit on them should have been 
thinned. The differences in yield between the sprayed and the 
unsprayed trees in 1893 was very marked, the yield of the eight 
sprayed trees being 284 bushels, while the yield of the corre- 
sponding nine unsprayed trees was 114 bushels. 
As stated in the bulletin and report just cited, the difference in 
the foliage in 1893 of the sprayed and the unsprayed trees was 
marked. Early in the season the sprayed foliage appeared 
healthier than the unsprayed, and later in the season this differ 
ence became more and more noticeable. In consequence of this 
it was thought that the sprayed trees went into the winter in 
better condition than did the unsprayed trees, and that they 
were better prepared for yielding a good crop in 1894 than were 
the unsprayed trees. In 1894 the 17 trees selected for the 
experiment outlined above were all treated alike, being sprayed 
once before blossoming with Bordeaux mixture (May 3) and 
twice after blossoming with Bordeaux mixture and Paris green 
(May 15 and June 5). 
The classified yields for 1894 is shown in the following table:
