40 gallons of water. '1'u every barrel
of this mixture four ounces of pllris
green is added to kill such insects as

should be given when the buds are swell-

buds open, the third spraying when the
blossomy have fallen, and succeeding
s1prayings all to b, made at intervals of
about it fortnight until the fruit is pretty

trees are to be sprayed before the dow-

this treatment at intervals of ten or
fifteen days.
