Many attributed this to the use of Paris Green, but it was particularly observed by the wr-iter that the leaves shrivelled and fell just as badly in orchards that had not been treated with the poison, so that it could not have been due to its use. This occurred in the month of June, when the apples were about as large as marbles. Further investigation will determine whether it is entirely owing to the spread of Fusicladium. REMEDIES PROPOSED. All remedies so far tried in Australia.
