(Lot 6 was treated with this material). No injun' was done. A careless observer would have said that the plums were in- jured, as many of the leaves were spotted and often perforated. But these injuries were entirely fungous (in this case, apparently due to 'Phyllosticta pyrina), and were easily distinguished from. Fig. 5.—Plum Leaf Injured by Fungus. poison injuries. Fig. 5 shows one of these leaves ; it should be compared with Fig. 3, and the entire absence of the scalded, blotched and curled appearances noted. We do not discourage the general use of London purple, as we use it freely upon other plants than the peach. SUMMARY. 1. Peach trees are very susceptible to injury from arsenical sprays. 2. London purple is much more harmful to peach trees than Paris green, and it should never be used upon them in any manner. 3. Injury is more liable to occur upon full grown foliage and hardened shoots than upon young foliage and soft shoots. 4. The immunity of the young growth is due to its waxy cov- ering. 5. Injury late in the season is more apparent than early in the season, because of the cessation of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornell University.
