No constant differences in the results. As the season 
advanced, the trees not sprayed showed yellower foliage and 
poorer fruit. At picking time, no constant differences could be 
determined between the lots sprayed at different times. 
Experiment 6, in the orchard of Henry Bugbee, Gasport. The 
trees in this orchard are mostly Baldwin and Rhode Island 
Greening, twenty-five years set and very thrifty. The Baldwins 
are perhaps a little over-thrifty, and have not been as produc- 
tive as they probably would have been otherwise. The orchard 
has been tilled for two seasons. It has not produced a good 
crop since 1896. Mr. Bugbee has sprayed it for six years, using 
Bordeaux and the Taft (arsenic) mixture in 1899, but returning 
to Bordeaux and Paris green this season. The trees are badly 
infested with bud-moth and case-bearer. The experiment in this 
orchard was conducted by Mr. Bugbee himself at our request. 
The work was done with great care. A block of ten Greenings 
and ten Baldwins in the northeast corner of the orchard, adjoin- 
ing the orchard of Mr. Button, was set aside for the test. (1) 
Three trees of Baldwin and three of Greening were sprayed Wed- 
nesday morning, May 16, after the very heavy rains of the 
previous night. On the south and east sides of the trees, the
