Peach leaves are very tenderand are easily injured by strongsolutions. For treating the blackspot of the fruit a solution madefrom 4 lbs. copper suluphate and 4 lbs. of lime diluted with 50 water will be found to be less injurious to the foliage than thestandard 6 lbs. sulphate solution. Spraying for black spot shouldbegin early in July and be repeated according to the weather at intervals of 10 days to two weeks until the middle of August.
