§90 Report oF THE HortiIcuLTURIST OF THE 
‘Plums. 
The plums consisted of the three varieties, Early Prolific, 
Purple Egg and Italian Prune on Myrobolan and the same varie- 
ties on Marianna. Those trees which in the previous seasons 
had been sprayed with the Bordeaux mixture were treated with 
the same mixture in 1898, and all other trees were left untreated 
for comparison. Two treatments were given, one June 13 and 
the other July 14. 
The leaf blight was abundant among the plums. The sprayed 
trees held their leaves about a month later and also made a much 
better growth than did the unsprayed trees. The latter began to 
drop their leaves early in the autumn, and by October 10th most 
of their branches were entirely leafless, while the sprayed trees 
held their foliage much later and did not become entirely defoli- 
ated till about a month after the unsprayed trees had become 
leafless. | ;
