Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). 624 Bulletin 8o. but I am inclined to think that this woolly covering—which is a living growth from the surface of the fruit—was killed by the Bordeaux mixture. The young fruits, it will be remembered, were much discolored by the Bordeaux, but the absence of any roughness or discoloration upon the ripe fruit apparently shows that the injury did not extend deeper than the fuzz. These sprayed fruits were not only larger, yellower and smoother than the others, but they were almost wholly free from spots or cracks of the spot fungus, although none of the fruits in the orchard were seriously attacked. Another marked result of these two sprayings was the complete destruction of the "moss" which had o\ergrown many of the trees. Fig. 9 shows on the left a branch from a sprayed tree. This was completely covered with the moss when the ex- periment began, but this moss was killed by the sprays and nearly all of it had fallen oflf when the trees were examined in September. The branch upon the right shows the moss upon the unsprayed trees.* The results of these two tardy spayings, then,were exceeding ly satisfactory. In fact,theout- come was more marked than is *This " moss" is really a lichen. Two species are growing upon the right hand branch. The most abundant light-colored one is Physcia stellaris; the dark patches are Theloschistes concolor. These were determined by Miss Clara E. Cunimings, of Wellesley 9.
