The positive results announced in
the bulletin are in connection with
cucumber culture. and relate to the ex-
ccedingly beneficial results obtained by
spraying the vines with Bordeaux mix
ture. Last season was a most unfayor-
able one for cucumbcrs. as all the enc
mics seemed to combine for the de-
struction OF the crop, yet by thorough
spraying good yields OF both early
salad cucumbers and late pickles"
