Rolfs, F. M., Die Back of the Peach Trees. (Science XXVI. 



p. 87. 1907.) 



The author gives a preliminary note on a Die Back disease of 

 peach trees, caused by Cytospora ruhescens, Nitschke. The disease 

 results in the death of affected twigs. He gives a description of the 

 progress of the disease and of the manner in which trees become 

 infected. As a result of experimental work he concludes that Cyio- 

 spora rubescens is the pyncnidial form of Valsa leiicostoma, Pers. 

 The disease occurs likewise on the Japan plum. Von Schrenk.
