Gardening. FUMARIA FUNGUS 617 those who delight in herbal?. As an ornamental plant, it is far surpassed by Adlumia. The genus gives name to the family Fumariacew. rUMITOKT. Fumaria officinalis. FUNGICIDE (see Spraying) is a material used to de- stroy fungi or to prohibit their growth. The leading Fungicides are materials which contain sulfur or cop- per. Bordeaux mixture is the chief Fungicide in use at the present time. It is a mixture of blue vitriol (sulfate of copper) and lime, in water. The usual formula is Copper sulfate 6 lbs. Lime 4 lbs. Water 35-50 gals. The copper sulfate is dissolved in the water, and milk of lime is added. In spraying large areas, it is better to prepare stock solutions for the Bordeaux mixture rather than to make each batch in the quantities called for by the formula. The sulfate of copper may be put into solution and kept in this condition indefinitely, ready for use. A simple method is to dissolve 40 or 50 pounds of sulfate in as many gallons of water, pulver- izing the material and hanging it in a coffee-sack in the top of the barrel. A gallon of water, therefore, means a pound of sulfate. The lime may also be slaked and kept in readiness for use. Slake it into the creamy con- dition familiar to masons, cover lightly with water, and then close the box or vessel to prevent the water from evaporating. When making the Bordeaux mixture, pour the requisite quantity of the stock solution of sul- fate of copper into the barrel, and then fill the barrel half full of water. Now add the lime (which should be diluted with water), stir, and add enough water to satisfy the formula. In order to test whether the sulfate has been neutralized by the lime, alittleferrocyanide of
