SPRAYING OPERATIONS
The spraying of trees, if not already finished, should no longer be delayed, especially in the case of early flowering varieties such as peaches, nectarines and Japcnese plums. Some of these are already bursting into flower, and in suvh case it may be unsafe to spray at full strength. In cases, however, when the buds arc not far advanced spraying can be applied with safety. It is at this time that spraying is most effective, as the spores of fungoid arc often secreted under the scales of the buds, and it is only when the buds begin to expand that the snores can he destroyed by spraying. With apples and pears there is practi rally no risk, ns they can be sprayed almost any time during the present month.
