“1. In 1892, cherry nursery stock was successfully treated by 
Mr. Fairchild, for the prevention of leaf blight. The same trees 
treated again in 1893, showed no benefit from the treatment 
because both treated and untreated trees were practically free 
from the disease. 
2. In 1892, plum nursery stock was successfully treated with 
Bordeaux mixture for leaf blight by Mr. Fairchild. The same 
trees were again successfully treated with the same mixture in 
1893. The good effects of the treatment were shown in the 
increased growth of both tops and roots and in the healthier 
foliage. The foliage remained attached to the branches about a 
month later than did the unsprayed foliage.
