Eau Celeste was used on two plots. This is the most strik-
ing result obtained. In the plot where the stems were sprayed
the increase of blight was reduced to zero, or to the lowest possi-
ble. It will be understood that not a single plot was laid off
where blight was not present. It lacked, however, 1- per cent.
of being up to the normal, or 6- per cent., i. e., there was only
5 1-6 per cent. blight in the treated plot.
 The plot left as a check on June 1st had a trifle less blight
in it than the treated plot, but on June 28th there was an in-
crease of 14 per cent., or 1- above the average.
 In the next plot the leaves were sprayed in the ordinary
way. This plot showed an increase of 10 per cent. of blight.
 In most of the plots treated the spraying of the leaves had
no effect in checking blight, but in this plot it showed some
advantage.
 Three plots were laid off to try the effect of Eau Celeste.*
The former order was followed.
 In the first plot the stems were thoroughly sprayed and the
ground about them moistened. The increase of blight in the plot
was 8 per cent. The amount of blight in the plot before treat-
ment, however, was much above the average; fully 3 per cent.
The increase of blight in check was 16 per cent., so the real gain
by spraying was 8 per cent. The third plot was treated just as
the first and the result exactly the same.
 Plots were laid off in the same way as Eau Celeste to try the
modified Eau Celestet, which is somewhat more expensive, but it
has the advantage of not scorching the leaves. This has more
reference to egg plant than to tomato. The results were practi-
cally the same as in the case of Eau Celeste.
 The increase of blight in this was only 4 per cent., while
that of the check showed an increase of 12 per cent.
 A number of other fungicides were tried but these practi-
cally fall out of the list on account of their expensiveness and of
their less efficiency.
 The advantages above enumerated are not all that is derived
 *Eau Celeste is made in the following manner: Dissolve two lbs. copper sulphate
(blue stone) in a gallon of water. If the copper sulphate is powdered it will dissolve
in cold water; if not pulverized, the water should be hot. Add three pints of ammonia
water; keep corked until ready to use, then dilute to fifty gallons.
 tThis is made by dissolving two pounds copper sulphate in water, as stated
above. Dissolve two and one-half pounds sal soda in same amount of water. When
cool, mix the two solutions, add two quarts of ammonia and dilute to fifty gallons.
