The Symptoms are those of a vine suffering from drought. It is not 

 considered an infectionsdisease, and is thought to be biought on 

 by non-affinit}^ in graiting, and by overproduction of fruit which 

 may accompanied by a weakened condition due to the PJiyUoxera. 

 The third disease studied was the root rot which was found 

 not onl}^ to attack Vitis vhiifera , but also the diiferent resistant Stocks 

 like rupestvis St. George. The causes, that is the specific fungi 

 associated with the rot were not given. Hedgcock.
