EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 167 



Lido. Pistillate. Growth fair. Compact, healthy. Fruit regular, large, 

 even in size, round conical. Quality good. Needs high culture. When 

 planted in hills and well cared for, this has few superiors. Early. 



Lower. Bisexual. A variety that has been grown here for a number of 

 years, but not generally introduced. Plant much like Jessie but stronger. 

 Fruit more like Dew. Very large and productive. Firm. Flesh rose 

 colored. Quality good. Late. Worthy of general cultivation. 



Moore's. {Enrlij or ProUjic.) A variety was sold through this portion 

 of the state some three years ago under both of these names. It is much 

 like Jessie both in fruit and plant. It is distinct from that variety, how- 

 ever, and the plants are more vigorous and productive. Season medium. 



Mrs. Clerelund. .This variety, with Ohio Centennial, and two unnamed 

 seedlings, was received from the originator in fall of 1888. They are all 

 vigorous, the first two with dark, and the last two with light colored 

 foliage. All bore fruit of good size and quality. Another year is required 

 to determine their value. 



Warjield No. 2. Plants vigorous and hardy. Fruits of medium size, 

 moderately firm and of fair quality. It has not proved productive enough 

 here, to warrant our recommending it for general planting for market. 



Out of the long list of varieties disseminated between 1882 and 1887^ 

 and which we have tested, very few are equal to, much less surpass, our 

 older varieties. Among the exceptions would be Bubach, Jessie, Moore's, 

 and perhaps Eureka and Lida. Many of the old kinds, if they have been 

 carefully preserved, are preferable for the common planter even to thr::e. 

 Our strongest and most productive variety this year was the old Wilson. 



For planting in matted rows, a satisfactory selection would be, Crescent, 

 Bubach, Moore's, Lower, andMt. Yernon. Sharpless, W^ilson, Cumberland, 

 Capt. Jack, and Miner are all favorites and might well be planted. They 

 are all perfect-flowering varieties and would do well to plant with Cres- 

 cent and Bubach. 



For hill planting with high culture, Lida, Bubach, and Jessie will be 

 desirable varieties. The Covill, May King, Belmont, and Maggie will be 

 valuable additions for home use. 



Among the new varieties sent us for trial during the year were Lady 

 Rusk, Ivanhoe, Marvel, Welch, Mark, Sadie, Charleston, Clingto, Gen. 

 Putnam, Hatfield, Felton, and a number of unnamed seedlings from Lou- 

 don, Bubach, Thompson, Little, and others. 



NOTES ON THE FUNGUS OF APPLE SCAB. 

 BY B. T. GALLOWAY. 



Apple scab as it occurs on the fruit is so well known in Michigan that it is 

 hardly necessary to say anything here in regard to its external characters. 

 It may be well, however, before entering directly upon a discussion of the 

 cause of the disease to have it understood that the leaf -form which is some- 

 times spoken of as "blight" or "mildew" does not differ from that on the 

 fruit, and consequently one treatment will answer for both. The leaves 

 affected with the disease show at first greenish, velvety, roundish spots 

 which soon run together and form large irregular blotches. Both sides of
