sincs weather records have been kept
Mt the University Of Maine. Because
Of the extreme lateness Of the season
the pink bud spray application has
been greatly delayed. In fact it was
not applied much In advance OF the US
nal date for calyx spray. The next
spray for apple trees after the pink
bud spray Is the calyx spray, so-called
because Il IL applied as soon as possible
after the flower petals have fallen or
before the calyx lobes Of the young
fruit have closed together and the tip
end Of the fruit turned downwards. At
H!ghmoor Farm during the last years
the dates nj which the trees have been
IN condition for this application have
only varied from May 80 to June :, usu-
nlly coming between June and s.
This year II seems evident that the
trees will not be IN condition for the
calyx spray for a week or ten days az
ter the latter date.
