so as to observe the effect of the treatment in widely separated 
orchards and under differences of environment. These orchards 
belong to the following named gentlemen: George H. Bradley & 
Son, Lake Road, Niagara County; F. D. Gardner, Barker,

the season gave the work their cordial cooperation. Our thanks 
are due to them for this and for many courtesies extended to 
the representatives of the Station who conducted the experi-

EXPERIMENTS AT LAKB ROAD. 
In the orchard of Messrs. George H. Bradley & Son, Lake 
Road, three rows of trees on the north side of the orchard were 
included in the test. The accompanying plan gives an idea of 
the relative position of the trees under experiment. ‘Those

were not sprayed in bloom are marked o. The trees thus indi- 
eated are all of the Hubbardston variety. 
Treatment—In all treatments Bordeaux mixture, 1-to-10 
formula, and Paris green, 1 lb. to 160 gallons, were used. The 
trees in Rows 2 and 3 were first sprayed in part May 14; at this 
time the blossom buds had appeared but no blossoms were open. 
They were sprayed May 14 on one side and on the opposite side 
May 21. On the latter date the buds were far enough along to 
show the color of the flower but no blossoms were yet open 
on these trees, although Oldenburg had been in bloom since 
May 16.
