Extract

Bordeaux mixture has practically superseded every other fungicide for general use, and two or three sprayings with it have become part of the annual routine of the fruit grower in most countries except our own, whilst in viticulture, its use is quite indispensable, and potato growers are applying it more and more every year. Any means for simplifying or cheapening the application of it, are, therefore, of great importance.
