The canes of the unsprayed Shaffer were very much pitted, the older and larger ones being considerably swollen and bent in places. The smaller canes as well as the leaves also showed an abundance of infected places. The portion of the rows which received the two treatments in June were not in much better condition than the untreated plants. The lower portion of the canes were severely attacked, and although the num- ber of pits did not appear to be so abund- ant, still all parts of the plants were more or less affected. The bushes receiving the greatest number of treatments were the most healthy, but the benefits derived from the fungicide were not sufficiently marked upon either variety to encourage a grower to repeat the same line of treat- ment. Some protection was undoubtedly afforded and the plants were plainly in better condition than their untreated neighbors, yet the use of the Bordeaux mixture during the growing season can not be recommended as being of much practical benefit. If the bushes are to be sprayed, the first application should be made as soon as the new canes appear, and these should be kept covered as well as possible. If some more adhesive material than the Bordeaux mixture were employed, better results would probably ; These various results are conflicting. For myself, I do not believe that spraying alone is sufficient to keep down the anthracnose. The very first requisite to clean patches is a short rotation. Remove the plants just as soon as they become weakened, either from anthracnose or age. Next, thin out the young canes and exercise care to remove and burn those which are most diseased. Thir
