The spraying was done in this orchard on April 11, when the largest leaves on Willow Twig and Lowell were one-half inch long and Jenneting buds just beginning to burst; May 2, when most of the bloom had fallen; May 22, when the small fruits were yet upright on their stems; June 28, when the new growth was well advanced. To the second and third sprays four ounces of paris green per barrel were added. On June 2 all the fruits of Fameuse within reach of the ground were examined. On a tree sprayed with six pound solution 13 scabbed fruits were found; on a four pound tree, 35 scabbed fruits; on a two pound tree, 16 scabbed fruits; on an unsprayed tree 400 scabbed fruits.
