ing on the foliage. Foliage was injured by treating with modified 
eau celeste, and also by “ammonia copper” solution. Prefers 
dilute Bordeaux mixture containing six pounds of copper sulphate 
to forty-four gallons of the mixture.

States that a russeting or roughness of the skin of the fruit 

-occurs when Bordeaux mixture is used more than twice after the 
blossoms fall, so that he makes the last spraying about ten days 
after the blossoms fall.

N. Y., 1886, pp. 173-174 [or 177-178]. Experimented with sodium 
hyposulphite as a fungicide for pear scab using one pound to ten 
gallons of water and one pound to twenty gallons of water. 
Thought some slight benefit resulted from the treatment. ‘

1888, pp. 80-31. Has observed the scab attacks for several years 
and has noticed that when dry winds occur at blossoming time 
little scab is seen during the following season, but when damp 
weather occurs at blossoming time the scab is prevalent the 
following season.

Speaking of the pear crop of Monroe county in 1890, states that 
many varieties set a good crop of fruit but immediately after the 
falling of the blossoms the scab fungus developed in remarkable 
abundance, both on the leaves and on the fruit, either causing 
the fruit to drop or rendering it worthless. Though the pear 
suffered less than the apple very little first-class pear fruit was 
found. Discusses also the nature of the fungus attack and the 
| advisability of spraying as a preventive of such attacks. Oom- 
pare with No. 4 above.
